Ronald A. Bussink[1] has been a leading designer of giant Ferris wheels and similar structures for over 25 years.[2] Bussink entered the amusement industry market in 1985[3] and designed, manufactured, and delivered more than 60 giant observation wheels between 1990 and 2005.[4]

The Bussink company was previously known as Nauta Bussink prior to moving its offices from the Netherlands to Appenzell Innerrhoden, Switzerland.[5][6] It was then known as Ronald Bussink Professional Rides, a registered trademark of Ronald Bussink Aktiengesellschaft,[4] which was subsequently renamed Professional Rides Aktiengesellschaft, RoBu Privat Equity AG and then RoBu AG.[7]

In 2008, following the sale of Bussink's Wheels of Excellence range to Vekoma, Bussink created a new company, Bussink Landmarks, to concentrate on the supply of observation wheels of 100 metres (328 ft) and greater in height.[8]
