What Striebig does
Striebig AG is a Swiss manufacturer of vertical panel saws and complementary cutting optimization software, founded conceptually in 1958 by master carpenter Ludwig Striebig and incorporated as a stock corporation in 1977. The company is headquartered in Littau-Luzern, Switzerland, employs 51–100 people, and has produced approximately 50,000 cumulative saw units since serial production began in 1961, exporting to roughly 60 countries through an authorized distributor network. Its core technology is the vertical panel saw architecture (frame, support wall, and mobile sawing unit) with proprietary electronic positioning systems (EPS.x, ASP) and integrated cutting optimization software (ExpertCut, BaseCut, OptiDivide) that interfaces with standard ERP and CAD systems via a 12-inch touchscreen interface.
The product portfolio spans eight hardware models — from the entry-level COMPACT through STANDARD, STANDARD S, EVOLUTION, EDITION 60, and CONTROL to the high-end STRIEBIG 4D — priced and configured for workshops ranging from family joineries to industrial furniture manufacturers and timber construction firms. Striebig monetizes primarily through hardware sales (capital equipment), software licensing (ExpertCut, BaseCut, OptiDivide with add-on modules such as OptiStock, bar optimization, block parts, filling parts, and edge calculation), and recurring spare parts and service revenue. Distribution is exclusively through a global channel of authorized sales and service partners; direct sales are limited to consultation inquiries.
The customer base is fragmented across furniture manufacturing, kitchen ateliers, carpentry/interior fit-out, window/door production, timber construction, and specialized composite material processors (including aluminum profiles). Certifications include ISO 9001 (since 1999), ISO 14001, ISO 45001 (valid 2025–2028), ISPM 15, and REACH/RoHS compliance. The company is privately held with no disclosed external investment and is currently led by Robert Haas (CSO & CFO), Stefan Moor (COO & CTO), and Daniel Bucher (Managing Director).
