Bio-Circle Surface Technology is bio-chem – the brand that has been standing for the development, production and distribution of innovative chemical-technological products around surface technology for the better of 20 years. Founded by graduate engineers Ulrich and Manfred Berens, over the years Bio-Circle Surface Technology GmbH has developed into an in-ternationally operating enterprise with approx. 110 employees in Germany. Branch offices and production sites have been established in Europe and the world. The product segment encompasses Cleaning, Protecting, Lubricating, Welding, Ice-free and Cleaning Technology. We are working on future-oriented projects and tasks in the fields of “environmental protection”, “bio-technology” and “surface chemistry” with an in-house development depart-ment and in cooperation with several Universities. The point of departure for these scientific works and developments is the customers’ concerns and the issues of tomorrow’s market. So, over the past few years we have been focussing on the development of alternative cleaning agents, with VOC (volatile organic compounds = solvents) reduction being our medium- and long-term objective.
