Visionaries: BUTTING and VDM Metals

Two long-standing partners, one common vision: bringing innovative and sustainable product solutions to the world! Material manufacturer VDM Metals and pipe producer BUTTING have cultivated a partnership for several decades. Recently, at a joint meeting in Knesebeck, current and future issues relating to their cooperation were discussed.

Norbert Heinzle, Managing Director at BUTTING in Knesebeck, is pleased about close business partner’s visit: "In an era of digital change, we at BUTTING are deliberately holding on to tradition: Cultivating a community spirit! I'm very pleased that after more than 40 years we still get together regularly as a large group of people." The Knesebeck-based company procures, among other things, stainless steel strips for mechanically clad BuBi® pipes as well as welding wires through VDM Metals. A broad portfolio of materials, reliability in supply chain performance and comprehensive expertise in manufacturing distinguish the supplier as a recognised partner for BUTTING. 

Reliability – an important core value for BUTTING. Alongside performance, honesty, openness and courage, which have shaped the BUTTING culture in its principles for seven generations and have contributed to the family company’s 246 years of success. "An end product can only be as good as its starting products. For the future success of BUTTING, the close, appreciative cooperation with VDM, both on a technical and a sales level, is indispensable. We are already looking forward to many new joint projects!", says Norbert Heinzle. 


BUTTING – more than pipes – for a better quality of life
