Bischoff & Munneke GmbH – About us

As a member of the BMA Group, the company Bischoff & Munneke GmbH can draw upon more than 37 years of second-generation experience in the worldwide trade of pre-owned machines for the pharmaceutical industry. In addition to pre-owned pharmaceutical machines, we also offer used machines and equipment from the fields of chemistry, cosmetics, foodstuffs, paints and varnishes.

Co-operation partners

Bischoff & Munneke GmbH, Germany and Kirschenhofer AG, Switzerland are joined in partnership since 2005. In order to emphasize our cooperation we have integrated Kirschenhofer AG into the BMA Group. BMA Group is one of the leading suppliers of pre-owned pharmaceutical machinery in Europe.

Used machinery

In accordance with the high standards of maintenance in German industry, our pre-owned machines are generally in good to excellent condition. If regularly serviced, checked and validated, second-hand machinery and equipment, particularly from the pharmaceutical sector, may be utilized effectively for many years. Many firms make use of our services to market their used machinery and equipment exclusively on a commission basis via our worldwide network.

Competence

Wherever possible, we have all our used machinery and equipment checked over by our experts in our own, modern workshop in the 2009 new built company building. Any repairs, conversions or overhauls are carried out either by ourselves, an external service provider or by the respective manufacturer. We are recommended by numerous manufacturers, because they know that we represent their name to a very high standard even in the second-hand market.
