About us
Our core competence lies in the development and construction of customer-specific special solutions in block design. Based on a customer inquiry, an individual solution is developed and manufactured in-house by B&B Hydraulik-Technik. Specific advice and support for the customer, from the functional description and hydraulic system development to the finished product, plays a central role.
We are an official sales partner of Sun Hydraulik. The product range includes an extensive range of high-quality screw-in valves in 5 sizes, as well as associated pipeline housings, intermediate plates and finished valve combinations. In addition, our customers benefit from our technical advice on the individual products in specific applications.

Our Philosophy
As a founder-managed company, we focus on fair, cooperative and long-term cooperation with our customers. Many customers from the early days are still supplied by us today. This goal can only be achieved through care, quality and continuity, without losing sight of new developments. What applies to our customers also applies to our suppliers. Here, too, we cultivate a fair, cooperative and long-term partnership.
We want to maintain our familiar character and our good working atmosphere. The long service of our employees is an indication that it has also been lived in the past. The training of young people is also very important to us. That is why we provide training and continuously offer internships for pupils and students. We have been committed to the Hattingen location since its foundation in 1992 and want to continue to invest here in the future.
B&B Company History
Innovation and know-how for over 30 years
2021
In order to create additional capacities, a new 4-axis machining center was put into operation. For the necessary space, an old, hardly needed, QuickTurn lathe was retired. Overall, the machine park now comprises seven CNC machining centers and one automatic lathe.
2020
At the turn of the year 2019 to 2020, Helmut Brocke left B&B Fluidsysteme and B&B Hydraulik-Technik. Helmuth Fack had already left B&B Fluidsysteme in 2002. The shares are now owned by the Bähr family, with the aim of continuing the companies in the family in the long term.
2014
In order to manufacture complicated turned parts, a turning center was purchased which, with driven tools, can also perform milling and drilling operations at any angle. The rear machining can also be carried out automatically by means of a transfer spindle. From the bar loader to the workpiece removal, the throughput is fully automatic. Also in this year, a paternoster warehouse was erected in portrait format. This significantly increased the storage area with a small footprint.
2011
After a long period of preparation, the ABAS ERP system was able to replace the outdated, old software. Here, in addition to the ERP system, all production processes were also integrated. A lot of information, in all processes, is now available and can be accessed.
2009
In order to take into account the ever-increasing number of control blocks, the sixth CNC machining center was set up. This time, a machine with four axes was selected, which makes it possible to manufacture more complex parts with the highest precision in one operation.
2006
The 2D-CAD system was replaced by the 3D-CAD system “Solid Works”. Now, penetrations could be displayed, which considerably simplified the construction of the control blocks.
This system has a simulation software with which housings can be examined. It shows exceedances of the permissible tensile stresses when pressure builds up in the material.
2000
The office space was also expanded. In addition, social rooms were created for the growing number of employees.
1994
Purchase of the first CNC machining center at the parent company B&B Hydraulik-Technik, which from now on took over the production of control blocks. The ever-increasing number of control blocks and the desire for more flexibility and shorter delivery times made this step necessary.
In the following years, some special valves were also developed that were not available on the market in this form or quality.
1992
B&B Fluidsysteme GmbH was founded in February 1992. In addition to the shareholders of B&B Hydraulik-Technik Helmut Brocke and Henning Bähr, Mr. Helmuth Fack joined the newly founded company and took over the sales of products from Sun Hydraulik-USA, whose focus is on the valve production of screw-in valves. In addition to the sale of these products, the first customer-specific control blocks were developed, the production of which initially did not take place in-house.
