Together with our partners, directors and employees, we have built on the foundation laid by graduate engineer
Hans Bibus in 1947, and which has been further expanded and developed by his son Felix Bibus.

From being solely a steel company without its own warehouse, each company has evolved over the decades more and more towards its current three business segments: technology, materials and electronics. The same core competencies have been continued in all three segments: engineering, logistics and service to varying degrees - depending on the business area. 

The added value that we produce and perform for our customers has fundamentally changed over the decades, but we have always focused on meeting the extensive and changing needs with relevant services internationally. International advances in communications, and the associated "general" knowledge of foreign sourcing, have triggered and facilitated the first steps towards further development of new firm-specific expertise. The addition of new technological products requiring explanation or engineering has slowly replaced the pure steel trade. From being a single company, the establishment of a group was now complete. 

Over the years of successful growth, it became apparent that the Swiss market alone was too small. With the dissolution of borders in Europe, and in particular with the fall of the "Iron Curtain" in Eastern Europe, the strategy for growth beyond the borders of Switzerland is shaped. The simultaneous internationalisation of the activities of our formerly exclusively Swiss customers, as well as their relocation elsewhere, supported its implementation.
The care of existing customers and the acquisition of new customers and partners in new markets shape the activities of our subsidiaries, new - both in terms of customers and supply partners. The increasingly strong BIBUS Group has expanded in Eastern and Western Europe by establishing new branches.

The product range is not the same in all subsidiaries. But each company is characterised by the same core competencies: engineering, logistics, service - and all companies have access to know-how and resources from the entire group. A concept that has led - and will lead in the future - to long-lasting and successful partnerships for customers, supply partners and employees.We are all expanding further with new products, new markets, new relationships.

BIBUS SINDBY sources goods in more than 50 countries and has 25 agencies around the world. Based on our experience and knowledge we work and trade globally, applying a set of environmental and ethical norms, which have been developed in almost 100 years.

We know our markets, so the customer need not worry about doing business with us or using our products. Following the sales of the business to BIBUS AG we had our own sales force representing us in 29 countries dotted all over Europe and Asia, which has consolidated our market position even further.

Our employees often work closely with customers to find the ideal solution. We attend business fairs all over the world to make sure we are up to date with the latest products. This is also a way of building up a big and global network of suppliers and business contacts in general.

Every year we work together with customers to develop more than 400 new products, either custom-made or for inclusion in our own range. This decision is made by mutual agreement for each individual project and depends on what is thought the most beneficial option for both parties.

We look forward to working with you.

Together with our partners, directors and employees we continue working in the vein of the foundations put down by Dipl. Ing. Hans Bibus in 1947, whose business acumen has been continued by his son, Felix Bibus.

From the humble beginnings, when the company solely dealt with the steel industry and had no store facilities of its own, our activities have changed over the past decades towards focusing on engineering, in particular technology, materials and electronics. Our main competencies also run through the techniques, logistics and services we use, tailored to a particular business area.

Carrying out tasks for our customers has always added value to the service we offer – it is only the way in which we do it that has changed. We are continuously trying to keep abreast of an ever-changing international environment to make sure we can fulfil customers’ requirements. Global progress within communication and IT has opened new channels for us to explore when looking to source new products, and it has made it easier for us to build up new product knowledge, adding to the pool of expertise within the company. New technological products so sophisticated that they require detailed explanations or an engineering background to be understood have gradually replaced the less complex steel products. One single company has now turned into a group of companies. 

As a result of growth the company could not sustain itself by working in just one market: Switzerland. Expansion became possible as a result of changes to the borders in Europe, in particular the East European countries, and a strategy for expansion beyond Switzerland was born. The implementation of this strategy was helped by the change within the previously purely Swiss companies, who simultaneously started going global by outsourcing or moving abroad. Retention of existing and gain of new customers and partners in new markets are at the core of our activities within our subsidiaries, not just in Switzerland. Our expanded customer base is now well established, and there is a documented trail of customer relations and additions – both customers and suppliers. The group is going from strength to strength within both Eastern and Western Europe by adding further companies. 

The product range differs from subsidiary to subsidiary, although all companies share the same core competencies within technology, logistics and service, and have access to know-how and resources from the whole group. This concept has so far and will in future lead to longterm and successful relationships with customers, suppliers and employees. We continue to expand our product range, markets and business partners.

BIBUS SINDBY A/S (formerly known as A/S H. Sindby & Co.)  is a sound and well-established import business and wholesaler, with 100 years of expertise and knowledge built up around purchase and development of quality products, whose customer base can be found mainly within industry and the automotive industry.

Common sense and quality are the keywords in every aspect of running our business.

From the outset we have continuously been developing and changing into a company that is ready to cope with new challenges and take on new opportunities presented by countless niches within industry.

Managing Director Keld Hansen is the man behind BIBUS SINDBY today. In 2007 BIBUS AG took over the business from the previous owner and the Sindby family, who had been running the business since 1918 for more than three generations. The business has continuously developed alongside its customer base.

The aim has always been to spot new products, which could be added to the range of goods on offer – for the benefit of customers and our business. This aim is still at the heart of everything we do at BIBUS SINDBY as well as BIBUS.
