A RICH HISTORYNo one can deny the tradition of quality and innovation that engineers associate with Budenberg. The rich history of our company helps to enforce the significant brand strength that makes us the first name that comes to mind when quality pressure & temperature gauges, valves and instruments are needed.
Arnold Budenberg laid down the foundations of the company when he took out, with Ernst Schaffer, a patent on a diaphragm gauge.
Arnold Budenberg came to sell Pressure Gauges in England and set up operations in Manchester in 1854. (Schaffer & Budenberg then had 48 employees)
Schaffer & Budenberg decided to carry stocks of Pressure Gauges in England located in Manchester.
Schaffer & Budenberg moved to a new building in Whitworth Street, Manchester with 100 employees, where as well as selling German products they began manufacturing.
Schaffer & Budenberg relocated to a new purpose built factory in Broadheath, Manchester. At the start of the First World War Schaffer & Budenberg were nationalised and remained so until, at a public auction following the War, the business was acquired by the Budenberg family; thus becoming Budenberg Gauge Co Ltd.
The company remained under Budenberg family ownership (culminating into a workforce of 7000 in 1944) until 1991 when Burnfield PLC acquired it.
In 1997 there was a management buy out of the Budenberg Gauge Pressure & Temperature divisions from Burnfield PLC. Since the management buy-out in 1997 Budenberg moved to Irlam, Manchester and has continued to develop and cater for the global instrumentation market.
John White appointed as CEO.
Budenberg moved back to Broadheath, Altrincham after an absence of almost 20 years. Now housed in a purpose built unit which includes a machine shop, assembly and calibration facilities and three new laboratories.
