History
TBMA (Technical Bureau for Mechanization and Automation) was founded in 1967 under the leadership of the father of Bart Houben, managing director until the end of 2023. Father Houben started the company by importing the English Westinghouse Derion rotary valves and supplying pneumatic transport systems. In 1992, after the death of their father, the brothers Bart and Frits Houben took over the management of the company.
Under their care, TBMA has continued to grow into today’s international player in the field of mechanisation and automation of industrial processes.
