History

  Founder Hans A. Bunse

1948 until the beginning of 1960

Hans A. Bunse founded the company in 1948 as a mechanical engineering trade. In addition to various lifting devices, small goods lifts, passenger, cargo, hospital and under floor lifts were manufactured for the consumer market.

In January 1957, the company was renamed Hans A. Bunse Maschinenbau.

In the middle of the 1960

When structural change became apparent in the German elevator industry in the mid-1960s, Bunse concentrated and specialized in the production and further development of small goods lifts. At the same time, the distribution channel was restructured.

As a pure manufacturing company, the company Bunse since then supplies only to other elevator companies, which also perform the installation and maintenance of the lifts. At the same time, the first elevator systems began to be exported abroad.
