The BAUER Group is a leading provider of services, machinery, and products for soil and groundwater. Founded in 1790, the company generates approximately 1.6 billion euros in revenue worldwide with 10,800 employees. The company’s services are divided into the Construction, Machinery, and Resources divisions. In the Machinery division, the BAUER Group is the global market leader for the entire range of equipment for specialized civil engineering as well as for the exploration, development, and extraction of natural resources. Through corporate acquisitions, the BAUER Group aims to generate synergy effects among its individual subsidiaries. To leverage these effects in steel procurement, the company commissioned Volker Worringer of ERA Group to optimize steel procurement at four subsidiaries. Worringer brought in expert Dr. Harald Lampey from the ERA Raw Materials Team for the project.
