What Stocklin does

Stöcklin Logistik AG is a Swiss, family-owned designer and manufacturer of turnkey intralogistics systems, founded in 1934 and headquartered in Laufen, Switzerland. The company sells end-to-end automated material handling solutions — including pallet stacker cranes, automated storage and retrieval systems (APL/AKL), PowerShuttle and FSP shuttle systems, channel storage, temperature-controlled and ATEX-certified explosion-protection solutions — together with the proprietary EAGLE-ANT automated guided vehicle (AGV) series and material handling equipment such as forklift trucks. Its proprietary software stack comprises the Suite logOS warehouse management and material flow platform and Stöcklin FleetControl for fleet and battery management, developed across three European software competence centers (Laufen, Jona, Trier).

The business serves enterprise customers in five primary verticals — Food & Beverage, Automotive, Pharmaceutical/Chemical, Retail, and Third-Party Logistics — with secondary exposure to Wholesale B2B and Consumer Goods. Named customers include Rittal, Ausnutria, La Provençale, Bell Switzerland, Hausammann, Arvato Bertelsmann, Pfitscher, Wander, Hermes Fulfilment, Ricola, Accelleron, Breyden, and ELSA-Group. Revenue is generated through large, multi-year capital project sales (turnkey systems), recurring Long-Life service and maintenance contracts, hardware sales of forklifts and AGVs, software subscriptions/updates, and certified training and consulting.

Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales through 10 owned offices in 7 countries (Switzerland, Germany, France, Netherlands, Czech Republic, Slovenia, USA, Mexico) with a network of 45+ qualified sales and service partners in 11 additional countries, supported by flagship trade show presence at LogiMAT and Logistica Next. The firm is privately held and family-controlled: founder-owner Urs Grütter serves as Chairman following the January 1, 2024 transition of operational leadership to Group CEO Jürg Frefel. No external funding rounds are disclosed. Recent strategic activity includes the multi-year Rittal modernization (running to 2028), Ricola Laufen retrofit, four-unit EAGLE-ANT 2 delivery to Wander, and continued North American buildout.
