BFS Betonfertigteilesysteme GmbH based in Blaubeuren, Southern Germany, has been relied upon for decades to develop, design and produce machines for manufacturing high quality prefabricated concrete products for use in sewage and wastewater systems. The main activities of BFS Betonfertigteilesysteme GmbH and its Italian branch office, BFS S.r.l., revolve around sophisticated machinery and equipment for production processes with flexible manufacturing capabilities. The origin of BFS can be traced back to Baumgärtner Maschinenfabrik GmbH, which was established in 1980 and was purchased by the Casagrande Group (Italy) in 2002. The “Impianti” department at Casagrande was assigned to BFS GmbH and it then operated as BFS S.r.l. The custom built equipment and machinery allow the production of a wide variety of concrete products and the company’s close cooperation with individual customers creates an efficient, demand-oriented production platform for high-quality products. BFS develops and delivers modular systems from semi-automated single machine units to fully automated turnkey production plants. State-of-the-art equipment and know-how have allowed BFS to establish itself in the national and international market as an innovation engine and technology leader for concrete pipe and manhole production as well as for other prefabricated concrete products for the professional construction of the civil engineering infrastructure. In 2017, BFS merged with Afinitas company HawkeyePedershaab. Together these two trusted brands make up the Afinitas Equipment and Automation Division and provide the most comprehensive offering of equipment and services available to the worldwide precast concrete industry.
