About us
The history of our company goes back to 1889, the year in which Georg König, pharmacist by appointment to the court in Bückeburg, developed and began producing self-adhesive plasters. The company is named after Hans Neschen, the father of the first self-adhesive protective films for books, which became known world-wide as the “Bückeburg book-skin“. Since then the product range has been continually extended, new markets have been opened and the distribution network has been expanded. Today, Neschen AG, with a turnover of more than EUR 140 million and a workforce of 750, is among the leading specialists in the field of modern self-adhesive technology.
The disintegration of industrially produced paper in the last 150 years is a well-known problem throughout the world.
Today we know that endogenous acidifying processes caused by modern methods of paper manufacture are destroying paper at an alarming rate.
The Bückeburg Conservation Procedure today offers unparalleled results with regard to pH-value and alkaline reserve as well as a built-in resizing process.
Our meticulous attention to detail and the options we offer for document numbering, tracking and additional conservation treatments give our customers the full range of services required by modern archives.
The way documents move through the archive centre:
The initial inspection is most often carried out in the archives but can be done in special cases upon receipt of the documents at our facility. The necessary treatment, especially for restoration/preservation work that is outside the scope of mechanical conservation, the so-called bypass, as well as further documentation, signatures, packing requests etc., are all determined according to a prepared questionnaire. Document numbering is implemented with a newly developed marking system, which applies the serial numbers by means of an inkjet printer without making direct contact with the document. In addition, a file number and/or sequential numbering of all the documents can be applied upon request. The applied colour is document proved.
Documents not suitable for mechanical processing can be treated manually using the same solution, where appropriate, as used in the Bückeburg Conservation Procedure. This is especially the case with badly damaged sheets, over-large sizes (more than the machine width) and sealed items. Material not suitable for water treatment can be conserved with other methods.
A process protocol accompanies each archival unit. In the final step the now treated documents are put back into their original received order and can be packed into containers supplied by the customer or into new archival storage containers. These containers can be labelled according to the individual customers requirements and/or with labels supplied by the customer.
