Components made by Suhner optimise industrial products and production processes precisely and reliably since 1914.

This year, Suhner can look back on one hundred years of history. Since its very beginnings, the company has been powered by innovation and quality. Founded towards the end of 1914 in Brugg in the Swiss canton of Aargau, the company has been focusing on custom solutions, quality, and precision ever since. With his idea of setting up a factory for flexible shafts, Gottlieb Suhner had already set a century ago his company's course into a future of success. His vision then has today given rise to successful activities on innovative high tech markets. As an internationally acclaimed specialist and provider of cost effective and efficient solutions for surface treatment, automation, and engineering components, Suhner is setting quality standards all over the world.

Today in the third generation, the present Managing Director and CEO/President of the Suhner Group Otto H Suhner is proud above all of the performance and experience represented by his employees, numbering about 760 worldwide and forever committed to the cause of custom solutions. Otto H Suhner is convinced: "The company is large enough to show its strength, yet not so large that it sacrifices its flexibility and human qualities."1) The company therefore masters the balancing act between international price pressures and innovative market leadership, every day, every time, and true to its motto: "Do it!"

Today, the automotive, aerospace, machine building, and many other sectors are benefiting greatly from the company's business lines: power tools and abrasives; drive elements for automotive, aviation, and production/automation; punching and bending technologies; and machining units.

Specialist in efficiency & ergonomic grinding solutions

At Suhner, quality is not a matter of course, but the outcome of many years of experience and a continuous improvement process. This also applies to the highly motivated employees. As specialists in their respective fields, they know that satisfied customers are not the result of high gloss brochures, but of resourceful onsite solutions in conjunction with inventiveness and practical engineering experience.

The branch managers at the twelve Suhner locations all over the world know the local markets and mindsets. Innovation, specialisation, and custom diversification take the form of a constant stream of ergonomic, powerful, and robust power/pneumatic tools and flexible shaft machines designed specifically for aluminium, stainless steel, mould making, aircraft maintenance, and stoneworking. This high tech portfolio is rounded off by a range of high efficiency abrasives and a programme of practical training courses and seminars. Yet cost effectiveness and efficiency never lose their prominent position. A new webshop for grinders and abrasives will soon be supplementing the wide range of services provided by this family powerhouse of ideas.
