Bucher Municipal, a division of Bucher Industries, is acquiring the leading local manufacturer of sewer cleaning equipment and accessories in Australia. With this acquisition, Bucher Municipal complements its product range for the Oceanian market.
With over 30 years in the industry, Spoutvac is the largest purpose-built manufacturer of industrial sewer and drain cleaning trucks and hydro excavation units as well as distributor of equipment and accessories in Australia. Spoutvac has maintained a solid growth path in the development and manufacture of their products giving them world-wide recognition.
Spoutvac is also known for some of their great existing commercial partners such as Kroll, RSP, PTC and Minicam, and Bucher Municipal is proud to announce that those existing partnerships will continue into the future.
Bucher Municipal has committed to purchasing the existing Spoutvac land and grow the manufacturing facilities in Bendigo East, building upon their philosophy of investing into Australian manufacturing.
Bucher Municipal is market leader for sweepers, refuse collection vehicles and static compaction equipment in Oceania. With the acquisition of Spoutvac, the division expects to grow the business in this region by complementing its existing product range. It will thus be able to better serve customers by offering them the full product portfolio through one of its 6 national Customer Service Centres.
The division will integrate the entire operational business of Spoutvac into its organisation in Australia and offer employment to all the existing 35 employees. With the current management team remaining in place and the business location staying in Bendigo, continuity is ensured for customers, suppliers and employees.
Bucher Municipal is a leading supplier of vehicles and equipment for cleaning and clearing operations on public and private roads and other traffic areas. Its machinery range encompasses sweepers and sewer cleaning, winter maintenance and refuse collection vehicles and equipment. The product portfolio is supplemented by digital services. The division has production facilities in Switzerland, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Denmark, Latvia, Russia, Australia, China and South Korea.
