What we do – our products
Communication in the car, paying particular attention to the aspects of safety and comfort, is our domain.
Hands-free car kits
The UNI System 8 universal hands-free car kits guarantee the greatest possible level of flexibility for mobile communications. The principle and the universality of the UNI System 8 is based on the combinable and exchangeable nature of the base units and connecting units. The UNI Take&Talk cradles, which are compatible with more than 250 models of mobile phone, guarantee a battery charging function. The other connecting units are conceptualised for a comfortable Bluetooth connection.
Our range of Bluetooth hands-free car kits also offers considerable choice: classic products like the CC 9040, voice controlled systems like VoiceTalk BT, and systems with colour displays and the latest A2DP technology which also allow MP3 playback – CC 9050. It goes without saying that useful accessories are also available:
to ensure your mobile phone battery is always fully charged,
these systems can be combined with the System 9 extension set.
Exceptional sound quality is a matter of course with all systems through the application of the very latest technologies, for example to filter out vehicle noise. Our hands-free car kits suit the requirements of our customers, not the other way around.
Navigation systems
Along with first rate hands-free car kits, we also develop high quality portable navigation systems which are sold under the brand name naviflash. Our professional route planners stand out with their simple mounting in the vehicle, comfortable operation and above all their precise route guidance. The latest model is called the naviflash 1120 and with its touchscreen, integrated rechargeable battery and modern, flat design, is a member of the forward-looking naviflash navigation systems product range.
OEM
Our innovation, flexibility with solving problems and ability to work in a way which is networked makes us a reliable OEM partner. A good example of our successful OEM co-operation at the highest level is our high-end navigation system for the Bugatti Veyron. Destination inputting and route calculation via PDA, Bluetooth data transfer to OLED display in the rear view mirror – an individual solution developed as unerringly as the navigation system itself – through exceptional levels of co-operation.
What is important to us – quality
Highest levels of product quality are achieved through the development and application of the latest and best technologies. More than 60 registered and/or awarded patents bear testimony to the product development and innovative spirit of our company.
The norms and certifications CE, e1, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 which BURY GmbH & Co. KG fulfils confirm the company’s superbly functioning quality control. At the beginning of the year 2003, BURY also fulfilled the demanding requirements of the ISO Norm 16949 (2002 version) as one of the first companies to do so.
Where we’re heading – the future
With clever product innovations and the use of the latest technologies we have created a name for ourselves as a reliable contact partner for professional communication in vehicles. We want to develop this position, to expand our OEM co-operations and to make new ones.
The list of accredited BURY professional partners; specialist retailers who have specialised on BURY products is also getting longer and longer. And our customer care is getting better all the time.
We want to achieve this through even more customer and service orientation. We want to focus even more flexibly and quickly on the demands of our customers and partners – and to fulfil them.
We don’t, however, want to deny end customers the latest trends in telecommunication and navigation. And we also want to set trends. Not only with the multifunctional nature of the products but also with sophisticated useful features which make life easier for the user, with voice control for example. And much more.
However modern communications technology develops, we will be there. And our customers will benefit from our experience and our know-how. Just as they have over the last 20 years.
