At home in Switzerland

Our company has been based in a bilingual (German and French) part of western Switzerland since it was established.

The locality is home to such world famous companies as Swatch and Logitech, together with leading schools and universities in the technical field.

 

Like Switzerland itself, our company and our technology have been built on grassroots democracy. Both operate according to the “bottom up” principle. The needs of the grassroots are taken seriously and integrated into the development and manufacturing process. The quality management system, certified according to ISO 9001, can be viewed on internet by anyone and demonstrates with openness and transparency the rules by which we operate and the objectives we work towards.
