What Simatec does

Simatec AG is a privately held, family-owned Swiss industrial machinery manufacturer founded in 1983 and headquartered in Wangen an der Aare, Switzerland. The company develops, produces, and globally distributes products for the mounting, dismounting, and maintenance of rolling bearings. Its portfolio is organized into four core product families: simalube automatic lubricators (available in five sizes from 15 ml to 250 ml, powered by hydrogen gas-producing dry cells and ATEX/IECEx-certified for explosive environments), simatherm induction heating devices for thermal bearing mounting, simatool mechanical tool sets for bearing installation and removal, and the simatec World of Maintenance digital platform including a Bluetooth-enabled IMPULSE connect pressure booster and a smartphone app for remote device configuration and monitoring. Supporting offerings encompass 26 SKUs of factory-filled specialty lubricants (food-grade NSF H1, biodegradable, high-temperature variants), a comprehensive accessory range (hoses, brushes, connections, adapters), an LMS-based education platform, and CAD/STEP data downloads.

Simatec employs approximately 60 people across its headquarters and wholly-owned subsidiaries simatec Inc. (Charlotte, NC, USA), simatec gmbh (Germany), and simatec China Co., Ltd. (上海森玛泰克设备机械有限公司, Shanghai). It serves industrial manufacturing, transportation infrastructure (cable cars, elevators), food and beverage, and renewable energy verticals via direct regional sales, a global distributor network spanning more than 30 countries, and trade show participation (EXPOSIBRAM, Micronora, Maintenance München). Revenue is generated primarily through one-time hardware sales of lubricators and tools, supplemented by recurring consumables (lubricant cartridges, replacement gas generators, accessories), with emerging digital services revenue from the World of Maintenance app ecosystem. Pricing is quote-based for industrial B2B customers via inquiry forms and distributor channels; no public pricing is disclosed.
