The Willy A. Bachofen company was founded by Willy A. Bachofen in 1933. Mr. Bachofen overcame the difficulties of the war and post-war era to transform his company from a simple manufacturing and trade business to an international industrial firm. At the beginning of the sixties, the TURBULA shaker-mixer was taken up into the product range. At the end of the sixties the DYNO-Mill was added, the first agitator bead mill to have a horizontally mounted, fully closed grinding container. Both machines became a great success world-wide.
