This is us: EXPERT FOR INDUSTRIAL RADIATION TREATMENT

Since its foundation in 1981, BGS has been one of the pioneers in the use of accelerated electrons (beta rays) and gamma rays. Like no other in Europe, we have mastered the demanding processes used in the refinement of plastics and the sterilization of medical devices, for example. BGS has been instrumental in shaping and co-developing pioneering processes that are now considered the technological standard. Our medium-sized company is still privately owned and has developed into Germany’s largest provider of irradiation services through continuous growth. For our customers, this means flexibility in order organization, reliability in processing and a comprehensive full-service offering.

The precise application of electron or gamma radiation creates customized solutions for a wide range of industrial sectors. Through this refinement step, we generate new areas of application, create potential savings in product manufacturing and thus become a crucial part of our customers’ value chain.

HISTORY

OUR PRINCIPLES: FLEXIBILITY AND SYSTEM REDUNDANCY

Thanks to state-of-the-art process technology and IT systems, we offer the highest quality standards – without losing flexibility for individual solutions. The systems at our three sites in Wiehl, Bruchsal and Saal are state of the art and are configured differently in order to serve a wide range of products and meet customer requirements. Nevertheless, the “principle of redundancy” applies: at least one location is always able to take over products from other locations. In this way, BGS contributes significantly to reliability in production. Regional diversification also ensures that we are close to our customers. This not only offers advantages for logistics. BGS is “close” to your products and needs!
