What Strapex does

Strapex is a privately held Swiss industrial equipment provider headquartered in Dietikon, Switzerland, specializing in strapping solutions for product securement during transportation. Its portfolio spans three product categories: strapping machines (automated and semi-automated equipment for high-volume lines), strapping hand tools (manual and automatic, including the STB Series), and consumables (strapping materials and accessories). The company's horizontal go-to-market serves production, trade, and logistics buyers, addressing use cases such as cargo bundling, in-transit damage prevention, and pilferage protection.

The flagship STB Series, the most recent product launch, combines a proprietary EasyTrigger Technology with BOSCH's AMPShare battery generation, fine-adjustable controls for tension force, tension speed, and welding, and an optical strap-insertion indicator. The line carries DEKRA third-party testing and certification and is positioned as Swiss-made, targeting quality-conscious industrial buyers. Earlier product generations cover the rest of the portfolio, with the consumables stream functioning as an aftermarket annuity tied to the installed base of machines and hand tools.

Strapex operates a B2B direct-sales model with a corporate website that includes a product catalog, a Download Centre for brochures and datasheets, and contact-based quoting rather than published pricing. There are no disclosed employees, funding rounds, customer logos, or revenue figures in the source material, and the company shows no public listing, subsidiaries, or M&A activity. The brand is trademarked and there is no evidence of a software, SaaS, or AI component to the offering.
