Oskar Rüegg AG

What Oskar Rüegg AG does

Oskar Rüegg AG is a Swiss B2B manufacturer of highly complex metal stamped parts and assemblies, headquartered in Jona (St. Gallen canton) and founded in 1891. The company specializes in process-secure manufacturing of complex stamped and stamped-bent parts (Stanz- und Stanzbiegeteile) built from strip material, leveraging above-average internal tool construction know-how. Its product portfolio is organized around four offerings: stamped parts (Stanzteile), assemblies (Baugruppen), components including metal overmolding (Komponenten), and engineering services for project startup phases (Dienstleistungen).

The company serves enterprise customers primarily in automotive (connectors and shieldings, interior solutions, infotainment, motor management, lighting), electronics (connectors), building technology (lighting), and general industrial sectors. Named customers include Continental, ABB, Automotive Lighting Reutlingen GmbH, and Regloplas AG. Manufacturing is performed across three wholly-owned production facilities — Jona (Switzerland), Stara Zagora (Bulgaria), and Querétaro (Mexico) — with IATF 16949 automotive quality certification held at all three sites alongside ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. Distribution is direct B2B to OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

The legal entity responsible for the website is Woregg AG, a Swiss holding entity that consolidates Oskar Rüegg AG, Woregg EOOD (Bulgaria), and Woregg S. de R.L. de C.V. (Mexico). In December 2023, Oskar Rüegg AG merged with Wöhrle GmbH & Co. KG to form a combined global specialist for demanding stamped parts and assemblies. The company is private with 251–500 employees and generates revenue predominantly through hardware sales of metal components and assemblies, complemented by project-phase engineering services.
