Karl Buck
The origins of Buck Group date back to Karl Buck, who founded Buck-Chemie.
the creation of Buck-Chemie GbmH
Karl Buck was a chemical engineer who in his spare time developed various products for his wife, Anna Buck, who ran a pharmacy. During the 1950s, when the standard toilet-cleaning product was concentrated hydrochloric acid, he began researching a safer method of cleaning. The result: the predecessor of today’s WC cleaning block – a product to be hung in the toilet, distributing cleansing power with each flush. It was registered with the German patent and trade mark office in 1965 as “WC-66”. This laid the foundation for Buck-Chemie GmbH, which Karl Buck founded in 1966. He worked at the company for the rest of his life.
about Karl Buck
Karl Buck was born on July 24th, 1912 in Stuttgart-Feuerbach. His life was shaped mainly by his experiences in the period after WWI, as well as his time as a soldier and as a prisoner of war during the second world war. Buck was a trained lab technician and chemical engineer.
Karl Buck was actively involved in shaping the company’s fortunes right up until his death on October 16th, 2010 at the age of 98.

WC Rim Blocks With Gel Center
The Rim Block With Gel Center is an attractive scented rim block with a modern design, which is attached to the rim of the toilet bowl. The round form consists of a cleaning agent and scented gel that is stamped onto the product. The scented gel also ensures that the air stays consistently fresh. The gel is available in different patterns e.g. a flower or brand emblems. The protective foil around the rim block is water soluble and dissolves fully. The protective foil ensures that the deodorizing property of the scented rim block only starts to work after the first flush. The high scent concentration contained in the gel ensures that the fresh air scent lasts up to 4 weeks. Since the rim block completely dissolves during this period, replacing it is quick and easy. This is particularly easy due to the innovative rim block basket, making replacing the Combiblock 2in1 easy - especially due to the fact that the basket does not have to be removed.
Options
The customer can choose from a variety of colors and forms with harmonizing, modern fragrances. The gel is available in a variety of geometric forms, such as brand emblems. The front design of the highly transparent basket is available according to customer specifications. Individual Combiblock 2in1s are available in 40 - 50 g units.

Cleaning Tablet for Sanitary Use
Tablets for the cleaning of hard surfaces are produced on the basis of inorganic and organic acids, as well as tensides and oxygen-based bleaching agents. The tablets dissolve in the toilet drain and work automatically, even in areas toilet brushes do not reach. They remove lime scale quickly and powerfully. The active oxygen formula ensures that dirt and unhygienic film and grime are properly removed. It is an effervescent tablet that is packaged in individual foils. This foil packaging provides optimal protection against environmental impact, such as humidity.

The cleaning tablets have a pleasant citrus scent. Other customer-specific scent options are also available.

These gel stripes ensure that the air stay consistently fresh – even without flushing. The protective foil on the scented rim blocks is water soluble and dissolves fully. The protective foil ensures that the deodorizing property of the scented rim block only starts to work after the first flush. The high scent concentration contained in the gel ensures that the fresh air scent lasts up to 280 flushes.

Blueing / Greening Rim Blocks
Blueing / Greening rim blocks are attached to the rim of the toilet bowl in a basket. In addition to the rim block's deodorizing properties, the rinse water is dyed in a fresh blue or green color. The product has excellent cleaning properties, which are emphasized through the dyed rinse water. The deposit of lime and urine scale is prevented in a sustained manner. The active ingredients are put into the water in staggered intervals through a special dosing system located on the underside of the basket. This ensures that the cleaning agent is placed into the rinse water at the optimal time, ensuring that the cleaning agent has the maximum cleaning effect on the toilet bowl. The protective foil around the rim block is water soluble and dissolves fully. It ensures that the deodorizing property of the scented rim block only starts to work after the first flush. It also ensures that the product can be refilled without leaving any residue on one's hands - making this a pleasant experience. The product lasts up to 4 weeks, depending on the rinse water system and flushing frequency.

Rim Blocks
Rim Blocks are attached under the rim of the toilet bowl in a basket. With each flush the rinse water releases a specific amount of the cleaning agent and perfume. The tenside in the scented Rim Block develops scented foam that cleans the toilet bowl surface. This process prevents sediments from attaching to the toilet bowl surface and releases a fresh scent. The protective foil on the Rim Block is water soluble and dissolves fully. The protective foil ensures that the deodorizing property of the scented Rim Block only starts to work after the first flush. Refilling the recyclable baskets is easy and hygienic through our optimized click catch and the foil-packaged refill Rim Blocks.

When water is heated in household appliances lime scale affixes to the sides of the appliance; the Lime Scale Removing Tablet removes the lime scale. The Lime Scale Removing Tablet can be used with all common household appliances, ranging from pots, electric kettles, irons, coffee machines to washing machines and dish washers. With routine use, the useful life of electric household appliances is extended. The effervescent tablets are produced on the basis of inorganic and organic acids.

The tablets contain active-oxygen, which also has a bleaching effect - leaving the coffee machine hygienically clean.

our brands
WC Kukka
Our WC-Kukka brand was born of the idea to create a floral scent for toilets in Finland. It launched in the 1970s and quickly became established as one of the most well-known brands for WC-freshener blocks.
The brand name WC Kukka is, in fact, not just an invented name: Kukka is Finnish for flower. When we developed our flower-shaped two-phase WC-freshener block, it was the perfect fit for the established brand and further emphasised the brand name.
Today, WC Kukka is a well-established brand and one of the leading names for scented WC-blocks in Finland. Scented WC-blocks in various shapes, colours and scents, as well as liquid WC-cleaners, are marketed under this brand name.
WC Fleur
Along the same lines as WC Kukka, our products are marketed in the other Scandinavian countries under the brand name WC Fleur. The name WC Fleur is also derived from the word flower, but from the French.
Private label brands
In addition to our own brands, our products are also sold by trading organisations and branded manufacturers as private label products. Our main strength and what sets us apart in this area is our adaptability and flexibility, which allow us to fulfil a very wide range of customer needs.
As an internationally active company, we supply to almost all European countries, as well as to South America and Asia. In addition, we are always keen to develop new markets. Our export share is more than 30 %. Licenses have been granted for several countries in Europe, as well as for South Africa and elsewhere overseas.
Quality and Sustainability
Quality
The quality of a product is a key competitive factor, if not the most important one. In order to meet our own quality standards, as well as those of our customers and consumers, a reliable management system is crucial. We have implemented a reliable quality management system, which is constantly updated and optimised. Since 1996, we have also been certified pursuant to DIN EN ISO 9001 and DIN EN ISO 14001. Furthermore, we comply with our corporate principles at all times.
Testing options
Our international sales market brings with it various technical requirements and a wide range of different climates. We use special climate cabinets to test and stress products under various climactic conditions to reflect those experienced by our customers. For products in the sanitary division, we have a testing laboratory with WC-bowls from all over the world, which can differ greatly in terms of flushing action. In this laboratory, flushing that reflects consumer behaviour can be timed for around-the-clock, allowing us to test and review our products under real conditions.
we care about the environment
Our use of cutting-edge air-cleaning technology takes environmental needs into account. Economical use of selected raw materials is a key aspect for the environmentally-friendly and ecological manufacturer of our products; our methods mean that no production waste is generated. Moreover, we were one of the first companies in the chemical processing sector in Germany to be granted environmental certification pursuant to DIN EN ISO 9001 and DIN EN ISO 14001 in 1996.
