history Bowltech got his start with Pinsetting machines after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1991 when used machines became available from US Military bases that closed in Germany.   In 1993 Bowltech Capital Equipment (BCE) was founded in the Netherlands -- a company that remanufactures used machines to the highest standard to be found in the Industrie.   To achieve that goal Bowltech developed a program that introduced used machines into the marketplace that :     Look like new ... Perform like new Carries the same warranty as new Costs 30-percent less than new   In short, Bowltech virtually made the idea of purchasing new machines obsolete, and gave the company its own identity in the capital equipment marketplace.
