08. November 2023
A "shocking" date that will be remembered for a long time.
A fire was caused by a short circuit in the printer in the office. The office burned down, causing major damage.
The electrics and lamps in the workshop came loose from the ceiling and some of the windows shattered.
However, the fire brigade was able to prevent the fire from spreading to the workshop, so that the machines remained largely undamaged.
Production had to be shut down for 5 weeks.
During this time, cleanup work was carried out and reconstruction gradually began.
We would also like to thank our loyal customers and production partners for their help and patience.
In the course of this, a new sawing machine was purchased and the IT system was renewed.
The entire hall lighting was converted to LED.
July 2024
Congratulations to Luca Schneeberger for completing his 4-year vocational training as a polymechanic, which he passed with flying colors.
He will be employed by our company on a permanent basis as a skilled worker.

Marisa DeMartin is retiring.
At our annual summer party, we said goodbye to a long-time employee.
We regret this very much.
We would like to thank you once again for your great performance and the work you have done together and wish you a relaxing retirement.
