Schöttli AG

What Schöttli AG does

Schöttli AG is a Swiss precision-engineering firm, founded in 1952 and headquartered in Diessenhofen, Switzerland, that designs and manufactures high-performance injection molds for plastic medical components. Its product portfolio centers on rotationally symmetric medical parts — syringes, needle holders, cuvettes, dialysis components, infusion and transfusion parts, pipette tips, blood test tubes, petri dishes, and pen/autoinjector components — built on proprietary hot runner technology with side gating and a proprietary cluster design that includes a newly developed 8-cavity star nozzle. The firm's process is anchored in extensive validation: molds are only shipped after sample specimens meet specified output and quality requirements, and the company uses rheological, thermal, and mechanical simulation to optimize precision, service life, and efficiency.

The company operates as a sub-brand within Husky Technologies (which itself became part of GPGI, Inc. following CompoSecure's business combination with Husky), under the positioning "Powered by SCHÖTTLI." Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales, with custom quote-based pricing, direct engagement with medical device manufacturers, and worldwide distribution through Husky's global sales and engineering network, including 24-hour global service support. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of custom medical molds, with a stated target buyer of enterprise medical device manufacturers navigating strict regulatory and validation protocols. The standalone entity is small (1-10 employees), with customer relationships, marketing channels (CHINAPLAS, Husky's multi-language digital presence), and field service delivery effectively consolidated into the Husky parent platform.
