What Telsonic does

Telsonic AG is a Swiss industrial ultrasonic technology company founded in 1966 and headquartered in Bronschhofen, Switzerland. The company designs and manufactures ultrasonic systems for plastic welding, metal welding, cutting, sieving, and cleaning applications, serving manufacturers across automotive, battery, medical, packaging, food, electronics, consumer goods, 3D printing, textile, and engineering industries. It operates as an owner-managed private company with over 300 staff and 11 wholly-owned subsidiaries across Europe, North America, and Asia, selling in more than 50 countries.

The product portfolio spans five application areas: plastic welding (TSP and USP press series, HandyStar Energy handheld welder, vibration welding systems), metal welding (TelsoTerminal TT6/TT7, MPX PowerWheel systems, TelsoSplice wire splicers), cutting and cut'n'seal, sieving (SG47 and SG4L generators, SONOSCREEN systems), and cleaning (DCG generators, tube resonators). Differentiated intellectual property includes the patented SONIQTWIST torsional welding technology (granted 2007), PowerWheel metal welding for battery and e-mobility applications, and SONOSCREEN sieving technology (granted 1994). Systems are managed through TelsoFlex control software and the MAG Weld Control quality-assurance module. The company holds ISO 9001 (since 2003) and ISO 14001 (since 2020) certifications.

Telsonic generates revenue primarily through hardware sales of complete welding systems and modular ultrasonic components (generators, converters, sonotrodes, actuators, presses, sieving and cleaning equipment), supplemented by professional services including system engineering, parameterization, and welding-laboratory optimization. Pricing is B2B quotation-based and the go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales through the global subsidiary network. Strategic relationships include a 2013 global cooperation with Schleuniger Group for cable-processing solutions and a technology partnership with Baumer Group for sensors and encoders used in automated systems integration.
