history
The company was founded in 1975 by Reinhold A. Barlian as a one-man operation. He initially dealt with the development and manufacture of a safety switch that prevents explosions at fuel pumps .
In 1979 branches were set up in the Netherlands and France under the idea of "Europe is inland". In 1987 the first branch in the Far East was established in Tokyo. After German reunification , branches were set up in Gera , Glesien (northern Saxony) and Leipzig . Another subsidiary was founded in the USA in 1994. In Germany, locations in Menden (Sauerland) and Gotteszell were added in 1996 . In the same year, Bartec was able to secure the largest order in the company's history with a volume of more than € 10 million: the Leuna refinery project , for which Bartec supplied the heating technology. Another production plant was opened in Slovenia in 1997. Two years later, the diverse product area of Siemens Mining, Menden (Sauerland), was integrated into the Bartec Group.
In order to continue financing the investments and growth, Allianz Capital Partners - the private equity company of the Allianz Group - became the new majority shareholder in 2002 . In 2003, Bartec took over Benke Instrument & Elektro GmbH in Reinbek / Hamburg and founded a new division for analysis technology, engineering and services, BARTEC BENKE GmbH. The Bartec Group has thus developed into a leading provider of complete solutions in industrial security technology and is among the top three companies in this market segment worldwide. Bartec entered into a joint venture in China in 2004 . The aim here is to develop new products that are intended to further increase safety in Chinese mining, and to produce them on site. In the same year, the BARTEC Safe.t Academy was founded as a place for customers, partners and employees to exchange knowledge and experience.
In 2005 the management of the company changed from the founder Reinhold A. Barlian to Ralf Köster. In addition, the first Bartec specialist congress for innovation and security technology was held, and the joint venture plants in Changzhi (China) and Russia were founded.

The Bartec Group took over the communications and security system provider Vodec Ltd. and founded the new BARTEC VODEC division.
In 2010, the Norwegian market leader for explosion- protected devices and systems, Technor Safe Ex AS , was taken over. In 2011, Bartec Benke became the most important provider of process analysis technology through two major orders. The product range of POLARIS Touch Panel PCs has been expanded to include widescreen LED displays. Since then, Bartec has been listed in the lexicon of the world market leader in the Heilbronn - Franconia region .
