There are around 3000 contract manufacturers in Switzerland, who often produce parts for larger industrial companies under high price pressure. The Covid 19 crisis has further worsened their difficult situation. At the same time, Swiss Factory is a new provider. He relies heavily on robotization.
“The Swiss contract manufacturer SwissFactory.Group has introduced new structures and, in particular, greatly modernized the sheet metal processing division of its subsidiary Stoppani Metal Systems.

This digital factory is to produce fully automatically and autonomously — in order to guarantee Stoppani international competitiveness. Bystronic was the only supplier able to meet the requirements.”
