The owner

Hermann Butting

Hermann Butting is the seventh generation of his family to lead the BUTTING Group as Managing Partner since 2000. In addition to solid professional expertise, he considers practiced values to be crucial for the sustainable success of his management role. This is why the business graduate completed additional training as a welding engineer.

Our management

As an international company, we at BUTTING know that management must react dynamically in a changing world. But despite all the flexibility, there is one constant: all our managers share an open, appreciative attitude towards employees, colleagues and customers and base their behaviour on the management principles of our company.

The seventh generation

Our history

BUTTING was founded in Crossen an der Oder in 1777 as a coppersmith's workshop. In the 1890s, the transformation from a craft business to an industrial company was completed. In the 1950s, the company switched from copper to stainless steel. Today, BUTTING is at home in the world's growth markets with a powerful global network.
