Company history

BOWAS AG was originally founded in 1975 as the international marketing instrument for the Bohlen Industrie/WASAG Chemie activities. This is also how the name BOWAS came about.

 

Bohlen Industrie has been active in the field of propellants and explosives as well as related products for more than 100 years.

 

Although successful in this role, BOWAS AG very quickly moved into more challenging and independent areas of operation.

The combination of a profound knowledge of international markets and the wide range of technology at its disposal, stemming initially from the companies within the group, but later being enhanced through cooperation with a number of reputable partners, has made it possible for BOWAS AG to establish itself as a competent partner for products, technologies, machines and equipment as well as engineering services for the explosives related industries.

The BOWAS team’s extensive knowledge of international market requirements together with the wide range of technology at its disposal, has gained BOWAS worldwide recognition as an experienced and reliable partner for manufacturing plants,machinery and equipment as well as engineering services for all explosives related industries. Bowas AG, together with our respected associates Bowas InduplanChemie and Dott.Mariono Pravisani (Italy) is the obvious choice for high quality design, development and provision of all explosive industry related requirements.

BOWAS AG is situated in Zug, Switzerland with branches in Germany (Munich) and Austria (Salzburg).
