Our Business Units

In tune with the requirements of our customers

We seek to support our customers: from problem to solution.

This functional structuring permits proven precision solutions, as well as customized solutions for special requirements.

Our comprehensive product range extends from complex measurement and analysis technology through innovative heating technology solutions to explosion-protected components and systems for automation, control, and regulation, as well as communication.

In addition, our development teams have decades of experience in finding the right solution to each and every technical challenge.

Enterprise Mobility

Communication and cooperation in potentially explosive atmospheres are becoming increasingly important. Networked cameras, smartphones, and tablet PCs offer new opportunities to work on site. We enable our customers to control and visualize their industrial processes and support our customers throughout their entire project, from designing the system to post-implementation service. BARTEC’s global partner network and our experience in explosion protection ensure that our products satisfy strict regulations and safety requirements, even when used in hazardous zones. You can rely on us.

Electric Heating Technology

Our heat-tracing solutions keep pipes frost-free, support production processes, and help to warm up critical materials. Electrical trace heating is the most efficient type of heating: the energy can be transported to anywhere with almost no loss. If maintenance work becomes necessary, all areas are easily accessible and the heating system can be serviced effortlessly after switching it off. Electrical heat tracers are easy to design and simple to install.

Our History

Turning a small switch into a global explosion-protection business.

 

The BARTEC success story began in 1975 with the development of a switch. A switch with great effect: preventing explosions at fuel stations. What began with selected problem-solving soon developed into a recipe for success beyond German borders. BARTEC opened the first locations abroad in the Netherlands and France in 1979. Tokyo followed in 1987 with the first subsidiary in the Far East, and then the USA in 1994. Today, BARTEC is represented by locations and agencies all over the world. The business segments have also expanded. Today, we do not just operate in the oil and gas industry, but also in the chemical, industry/logistics, pharmaceutical, commerce and trade, energy, and other sectors. We have over 45 years of experience in safety technology you can rely on.
