GmbH was created in 1903 . August Büttner died in 1919, the following year the company was converted into a stock corporation under the name Büttner-Werke AG and entered in the Uerdingen commercial register. Steam boiler construction was discontinued in 1929, and from then on the focus was on drying tasks in all branches of industry. While driers were previously built almost exclusively in drum form, the development of new types of dryers has now opened up additional sales areas, especially in chemistry and agriculture. The plant remained undamaged during World War II and was able to resume production in July. In 1959 the company moved into a new administration building in Uerdingen, and in 1964 new workshops went into operation. In 1968 the company acquired shares in the machine factory Friedrich Haas GmbH & Co. KG in Remscheid-Lennep . As a result, the areas of vacuum technology as well as textile drying and finishing were incorporated.
