Company profile
Burkert Taiwan Ltd.'s Taiwan branch was established in the 83rd year of the Republic of China calendar, and the company states that its products comply with international certifications and the highest quality assurance. It shares professional knowledge and global success cases and continually develops product-application solutions and comprehensive services for customers. For customers seeking measurement, control, or both, it provides customized systems intended to meet individualized requirements through non-traditional approaches. Bürkert Fluid Control Systems describes itself as one of the world's leading manufacturers of systems for measuring, controlling, and regulating fluids and gases. Its headquarters was established in 1946 in Ingelfingen in southern Germany; it has a sales network in 36 countries and regions, more than 3,700 employees worldwide, five Systemhaus locations in Germany, China, and the United States, and four research and development centers. Its customized solution fields include flow, level, pressure, metering, analysis, filtration, temperature, mixing, and process automation. Burkert Taiwan Ltd. works to make fluidic processes reliable, simpler, smarter, and more resource-efficient by challenging assumptions and removing unnecessary complexity from components through complete systems and from concept through operation. The Bürkert Group's management team has individual areas of responsibility, while important decisions are made jointly so responsibility for company success and goals is shared. Its long-term expansion strategy follows a local-for-local approach, with investments extending from Germany to China, the United States, and India; producing where demand exists is intended to improve availability of standard products and customized solutions and support local customers efficiently. Customer and application examples include reliable standard components for emergency ventilation systems, compact water and air units for dental treatment units, and water-treatment, sterilisation, and pressure-supply components used in KaVo Dental GmbH dental treatment units. The company also presents automated fluidic components for brewery processes and state-of-the-art automation technology for the pilot brewery of Weihenstephan in cooperation with ATN GmbH. For 2025, Bürkert reports 3,700+ employees, product revenue of 679 Mio. €, an R&D share of 7.7%, operations in 30+ countries, 100% family ownership, and an investment share of 20.8%. Its solution sectors include Pharma & Biotech, Food & Beverage, Lab & Analytical, Hydrogen, and combinations of sectors, with components ranging from valves and sensors to control electronics available worldwide. When standard products are not sufficient, Burkert Taiwan Ltd. states that it works with customers to develop solutions tailored to their processes and supports them with comprehensive automation. The company traces its development to founder Christian Bürkert and describes a progression from a small business to a world-leading fluidics company while retaining a mission to make processes simpler. Capabilities represented across its group and partners include sophisticated plastic injection moulding, automation, installation and test systems, brass valve housings, fluid-control and process systems, microdosing and flow-sensor technology, miniature pumps for high-end applications, sustainable cell cultivation processes, and high-precision flow measurement.
Exhibits
Burkert Taiwan Ltd. offers proportional valves for precise fluid technology, using them to control pressure, flow rate, or temperature with a high degree of accuracy in applications ranging from medical ventilators to flame control in metal cutting. The portfolio includes electromagnetic and electromotive proportional valves, and the company describes these valve types as reliable. Proportional valves can control liquids and gases precisely and continuously, are also known as control valves or continuous valves, operate in closed control loops, and enable compact systems that require little space in fluid technology and pneumatics. Direct-acting variants actuate the valve opening directly with a solenoid actuator, react quickly, and are suitable for small volume flows, while servo-assisted variants use a small directly controlled pilot valve to control larger forces or currents in the main valve and are suitable for higher flow rates. Normally closed variants remain closed in the idle state and are preferred in safety-critical applications to prevent unwanted flow or overpressure during a power failure; normally open variants remain open and suit applications requiring constant flow even without a power supply. With flow below the valve seat, medium pressure assists opening, enabling a particularly high setting range and reducing sensitivity to higher output pressure; with flow above the seat, operating pressure assists safe closing, although the setting range is generally smaller. A proportional valve reacts quickly and precisely with high repeatability and, unlike a traditional shut-off valve that is only open or closed, continuously controls flow by changing the seat opening in proportion to the electrical control signal. For current-controlled operation, a higher current at the valve inlet leads to a greater volume flow at the outlet, making proportional valves suitable where mass or volume flows change in electronic devices, mechanical engineering, and plant engineering. The proportional-valve technology overview identifies electromagnetic, electromotive, piezoelectric, and pneumatic actuator types, while Bürkert provides electromagnetic and electromotive variants for compact closed-loop control and fluid-technology solutions. Electromagnetic proportional valves are generally direct-acting plunger valves in which spring force and magnetic force oppose each other; with power off, the spring holds the armature on the valve seat, and current through the coil generates magnetism that lifts the armature and opens the valve. Their design balances magnetic and spring force across adjustable current values, with the current range set through control electronics and influenced by pressure conditions; listed characteristics include a large setting range with a flat characteristic curve, high repeat accuracy, low sensitivity to high back pressures, and an integrated seat seal that also permits shut-off use. Electromotive proportional valves use integrated stepper motors that generate linear or rotary motion for a seat valve or disk valve, can remain in a defined position without consuming electricity, can also operate in open control loops, and use an integrated position sensor for precise position control. Listed features of the electromotive range include very fast actuating time, a position sensor for targeted positions, an integrated positioner, and optional availability with an integrated process controller to save space and interfaces. Control valves are described as maintaining a measured quantity such as volume flow at a set-point in a closed loop using sensor feedback and a controller, whereas proportional valves do not include an integrated controller as standard. Bürkert offers external process controllers that can connect directly to electromagnetic proportional valves, and its electromotive proportional valves can also be supplied with an optional integrated process controller.
