A new start: the incubator 📝 Because of the high demand for poultry from the US occupying troops, Christian Bürkert’s mother asked her son to repair an incubator on the farm. With technical skill and the courage to create something new out of difficult circumstances, he produced a sensitive bi-metal temperature controller from the wreckage of a crashed aeroplane, capable of keeping a constant temperature up to 1/10 °C. Building on this success and spurred on by the high demand, Christian Bürkert then started to produce incubation devices and hotplates in the basement of his parents’ home – an early step on his journey as an entrepreneurial pioneer.
