Busch China celebrates 20th anniversary
( Maulburg, )
The history of Busch Vacuum Solutions in China can be traced back to 1981. A first contact at the Hanover Fair paved the way for Busch Vacuum Solutions to China. At that time, China was still in transition and the industry of vacuum was just being established. As one of the first Western companies, Dr. Karl Busch and his wife Ayhan set off for the distant country with a vacuum pump in their luggage and at the invitation of Chinese economic officials. After several days of negotiations, a joint venture was founded in 1981. This was only the third joint venture between a Western company and China. The starting signal was given and after many years as a partnership, the independent and wholly owned subsidiary of Busch in China was officially founded in Shanghai in 2001.
Shanghai was then and still is today one of the largest industrial centers in China. The international airport and the port of Shanghai are important trading hubs for Busch. The steady growth and ever-increasing popularity of the vacuum pump manufacturer were the main reasons for moving into Busch’s new headquarters in China in 2017. The Zizhu National High-tech Industrial Development Zone has been home to the Chinese headquarters ever since. In addition to office space, Busch Shanghai has a large and well-equipped workshop for the inspection, maintenance and testing of vacuum pumps, compressors, and blowers of all types. All after-sales services can be carried out quickly and reliably on site. A dedicated System Building Department not only takes care of the construction and design of vacuum systems, but also the installation and commissioning at the customer’s site. This ensures that individual customer requirements are adapted to the strict Busch standards.
During the sudden outbreak of COVID-19 in January last year, Busch Shanghai rushed twelve MINK claw vacuum pumps to the hastily constructed hospital -Wuhan Huoshenshan Hospital. These pumps were used to supply medical vacuum for Corona patients.
In addition to the medical sector, products from Busch Vacuum Solutions are used in almost all industrial sectors, such as chemicals, semiconductors, medical technology, plastics and the food industry. The Busch Group is a family-owned company whose management remains entirely in the hands of the Busch family to this day. More than 3,500 employees work for Busch Vacuum Solutions in over 60 companies and more than 40 countries worldwide.
Busch is proud to be able to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Sales Company in China with an internal event for the employees. It is very important for Busch to be present in the Chinese market with its own products with the best possible quality. Being close to the local customers is just one of the many success factors for Busch in China.

Merck & Co leads global R&D race for use of immune checkpoint inhibitors after surgery, says GlobalData
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have transformed the treatment of many late-stage cancers. This success has caused pharma companies to invest heavily into investigating their use in an earlier setting after a tumor has been removed by surgery (adjuvant), says GlobalData. The leading data and analytics company notes that, among these companies, Merck & Co has taken the most proactive steps for its mega blockbuster drug, Keytruda, to ensure dominance in the adjuvant setting.
Sakis Paliouras, PhD, Senior Oncology Analyst at GlobalData, comments: “So far, in most patients who receive any adjuvant treatment after surgery, that is going to be chemotherapy, radiation, or a combination of both. ICIs are widely anticipated to receive marketing authorizations in numerous adjuvant settings, and in many cancers, a first-mover advantage could bring billions in extra revenue.”
Currently, the highest-grossing ICI, Merck & Co’s Keytruda, which brought in $14.4bn in global revenue for 2020, has gained an FDA label in three adjuvant settings: melanoma, bladder cancer, and triple-negative breast cancer. Bristol Myers-Squibb’s (BMS) Opdivo also has three FDA labels in the adjuvant setting, while the nearest competitor, Roche’s Tecentriq, has gained only one label so far, in adjuvant treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), based on results from the IMpower010 trial.
Paliouras continues: “An analysis of late-stage clinical trials in the adjuvant setting shows that Keytruda has the upper hand, with 16 ongoing clinical trials in various cancers, followed by Tecentriq with ten trials and Imfinzi/Opdivo with nine. However, AstraZeneca has taken a more proactive approach by sponsoring more trials than Roche, which has relied more on academic collaboration.
“Adjuvant treatment can be very lucrative and if any of these trials prove an extension in overall survival of patients, high physician adoption is to be expected. The area with the most adjuvant trials is cancers of the gastrointestinal tract, which is where the next big battle of ICIs is expected to be fought. Including liver, gastrointestinal, and colorectal cancer among others, this segment will include hundreds of thousands of patients worldwide eligible to be treated with ICIs.”
