Séchy Schweisstechnik

What Séchy Schweisstechnik does

Séchy Schweisstechnik AG is a Swiss welding technology distributor and service provider headquartered in Nänikon, Switzerland, operating as a privately held Aktiengesellschaft since 1992. The company supplies professional welding systems, plasma cutting, laser, resistance, and stud welding equipment to professional welders, fabrication shops, and metalworking companies across Switzerland, alongside an SVS-recognised training centre delivering EN 1090-certified courses.

The portfolio spans over 1,000 products across 14 categories, including 85 welding systems, 23 plasma cutters, 90 torches, 310 wear and spare parts, 193 filler metals, 123 PPE items, plus Demmeler 3D welding tables and extraction systems. Séchy distributes OEM brands led by GYS (PROTIG, KRYPTON, TITANIUM, TIGER, Galaxy, Neopulse, Kronos, Multiweld, Neocut, Easycut, Barracuda product families), Rehm (INVERTIG i series TIG welders), and Demmeler, and complements these with proprietary own-brand products such as the Séchy Cut 42 plasma cutter and Séchy MIG/MAG 180 EASY welding system. The catalogue is organised by welding process (MIG/MAG subdivided into pulsed and non-pulsed variants; TIG subdivided into DC and AC/DC) and spans portable 12 kg units to 300 kg industrial systems.

Revenue is generated through three streams: (1) hardware sales of welding equipment via a field sales force of three regional consultants covering defined Swiss territories (Andreas Bauer, Heinz Schlauri, Bernd Gmeiner), supplemented by the schweissershop.ch e-commerce portal and walk-in/telephone sales at the Nänikon headquarters; (2) recurring consumables, spare parts, and accessories supporting the installed base; and (3) professional services from SVS-certified welding training and certification. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; the commercial model relies on consultation-based selling. Nicola Stadelmann serves as Geschäftsführer (Managing Director), and the company operates from a single facility that includes an in-house workshop and training centre.
