Sebastian Barth played a key role in the early days of chip production and founded Buero Barth in 1985 to represent and market American manufacturers of production systems in the semiconductor industry. This led to close business relationships that still exist today.

In 1993, Sonja Fechner joins Buero Barth and becomes the founder’s “right-hand woman”.

In the 1990s, the market gained massive momentum and numerous manufacturers of wafers and semiconductors were successfully equipped with the systems of Buero Barth’s American partners. Buero Barth is thus already involved with the introduction of the first Megasonic systems for the production of initially 150mm wafers to 200mm wafers and finally to 300mm wafers. Furnishing large market leaders with process tanks and HMDS Vacuum Ovens, wafer aligners and barcode readers is also becoming a target market. High-pressure lamps for lithography and other components round off the portfolio.

In 2009, Sonja Fechner takes over the management of Buero Barth. Sebastian Barth retires from active day-to-day business, but continues to be available as a consultant and the company continues to be run in the proven manner.

In order to continue to meet the current market conditions and the associated developments and requirements, FeBaTec UG was founded on February 1, 2025. The many years of experience and expertise of Buero Barth will flow into the new company and FeBaTec will continue with the same great commitment and “heart & soul”.
