Bircher America Inc., based in Elk Grove Village, IL, was established in 1995 as the U.S. subsidiary of Bircher AG, Beringen, Switzerland. Founded as a Sales and Technical Support Organization, Bircher America has since grown into a Manufacturing Organization. Together with its network of distributors, Bircher America provides sales and application support throughout North America.

The merger of Bircher AG and Reglomat AG, another Swiss company, into Bircher - Reglomat AG, has considerably expanded the product offering available from Bircher America Inc.

With its subsidiaries in Germany, Malaysia and the United States, Bircher - Reglomat AG continues to be a global leader in these fields.
