What Maagtechnic does

Maagtechnic AG is a Switzerland-based, multi-product industrial service provider specializing in elastomer, sealing, plastics, fluid, drive, and lubrication technology, as well as personal protective equipment (PPE). The company supplies technical components and related services to Swiss industrial customers across manufacturing, food, and chemical verticals, operating four physical locations in Switzerland and a B2B webshop (shop.maagtechnic.ch) carrying over 100,000 in-stock items, with access to approximately 600,000 additional articles through its parent ERIKS Group.

The company generates revenue primarily through one-time product sales of industrial components (seals, elastomers, plastics, hydraulics, pneumatics, drive technology, lubrication, PPE) and, to a lesser extent, through professional services such as engineering (3D reconstruction, reverse engineering, finite element analysis, 3D-printed plastics), condition monitoring (LeakDetect Plus, Shell lubricant services), industrial hose assembly, and mobile safety-shoe fitting via the PSA Bus. Supply-chain services — Vendor Managed Inventory, vending machines, PunchOut integration, and the ERIKS App — function as managed-service revenue attached to procurement accounts.

Pricing is unit-based with pay-as-you-go billing, free delivery above CHF 300, and a CHF 17.50 fee below that threshold; volume discounts are available on certain lines (e.g., up to 24% on rubber sheets). Maagtechnic is a wholly-owned subsidiary of ERIKS (Netherlands), itself under SHV Holdings N.V., and distributes third-party brands including Festo (pneumatics, 1,678 SKUs), Shell (lubricants), and PB Swiss Tools. The business is currently completing an ERIKS-wide SAP migration (December 2025) and holds ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 certifications alongside an EcoVadis Silver 2024 rating.
