It was as long ago as 1917 that the pioneer Arnold Bucher began manufacturing the leather and floor cleaning agent REX in Bützberg near Langenthal. With the increasing development of motor vehicles there was a shift in business operations and in 1947, REX became MOTOREX. The MOTOREX-BUCHER GROUP AG continues to operate as an independent family business – something in which we take great pride. Our employees feel respected and appreciated and this is an attitude they themselves embrace in practice.
The group of companies consists of the following:
MOTOREX has provided its customers with the very highest-quality products and services for more than 100 years. This top quality and experience make MOTOREX a reliable partner to SMEs and industry, as well as to cyclists and motorcyclists – both professional and amateur.
Whether engineers, chemists, technicians, sales experts, service specialists or marketing professionals: all our experts are focused on our customers and their needs. Anyone buying from MOTOREX will be sure to find the perfect product to meet all lubrication requirements from among a wide range of options.
By implementing consistent quality assurance at every level of the company, MOTOREX is able to provide impressive products and services of outstanding quality. The modern MOTOREX laboratory controls the quality of the raw materials used as well as ensuring leading-edge expertise based on dedicated research and development.
In 1993, all operations in the areas of development, research, production, sales, customer service, final inspection, marketing and communication were awarded the internationally recognised ISO 9001 certificate. ISO certification 14001 was acquired at the end of 2003!
MOTOREX is growing both in Switzerland and internationally: today, more than half of its lubricant output are sold outside Switzerland. This is possible due to our 190 sales partners, who contribute their product and industry expertise in 94 countries, as well as our own sales organisations in Switzerland, France, Germany, Austria and Sweden.
For many years, MOTOREX has collaborated closely with manufacturers and racing teams in order to provide professional and amateur athletes in cycling and motorcycling with the best products and up-to-date expertise. Riders and teams using MOTOREX lubricants have won more than 100 world championships organised by the international motorcycling federation FIM!
