BfU is an independent service provider for industrial enterprises. Our specialist expertise is in in-house environmental protection, occupational safety and product safety, as well as the corresponding management systems.

The Company was founded in 1976 by Dr Werner A. Poppe, the current chair of the Supervisory Board. Our headquarters are in Kassel. In addition, we have representations in Bitterfeld, Wetzlar, Weinstadt and Wuppertal. In 2008, BfU underwent reorganization from a GmbH (limited company) to an Aktiengesellschaft (plc), in order to enable executive employees to acquire a stake in the Company.

BfU's basic concept still has currency: synthesis of technology, natural sciences and law. Around 30 specialist Master's engineers, natural scientists and legal practitioners look after our customers.

Company philosophy

We call ourselves a support company, because we want to be more than just consultants. Just as we place our overall focus on long-term and sustainable development, so we intend to be reliable and expert partners for our customers. Our particular concern is to create and preserve legally sound circumstances for the customer, while keeping a simultaneous eye on economic efficiency.

The skills and motivation of our staff are our capital. The following principles hold for us: respectful dealings with one another, high levels of personal responsibility for each individual, flat hierarchies and the striving for long-term commitment to the Company.
