Stöckli Metal

What Stöckli Metal does

Stöckli Metall AG is a privately held Swiss sheet metal processing company founded in 1874 and headquartered in a Minergie-standard CO2-neutral production facility in Netstal, Canton Glarus. Operating under the trade name STM, the company employs approximately 60 people and provides a full-service "A-Z" sheet metal processing portfolio — deep drawing (hydraulic presses 40–315 t and an 8-station transfer press), stamping and bending (up to 200 t automatons), laser cutting (5,000 × 1,550 mm work area, steel up to 16 mm), CNC bending (up to 80 t), TIG/MIG/spot/CNC-bolt welding plus a 2025-vintage 1500W hand-held laser welder, powder coating, chromate-free cleaning and passivation, grinding/polishing/deburring, pad printing, and assembly. In-house tool construction with DMG MORI turning and milling centers supports the entire chain, alongside engineering/3D-CAD services and logistics models (JIT, DAL, KANBAN, VMI).

The company's commercial model is direct B2B sales of project-priced contract manufacturing to industrial OEMs in mechanical engineering, apparatus, aviation, automotive, household goods, medical technology, and garden/landscape sectors, primarily in Switzerland and Germany. Disclosed enterprise customers include Juice Technology AG (e-mobility), Bürkert Werke GmbH & Co. KG (fluid control), and Technische Federn GmbH, each publicly rating STM as an A-tier supplier. The company also acts as system supplier for aluminum and zinc die-cast components, coordinating coating, tooling, and part delivery. Two complementary proprietary products generate ancillary revenue: the PET- und Dosen-Presse, a manually operated stainless steel recycling press, and the PALACE copper cookware line. Pricing on the B2B side is quote-based EXW net; consumer products are sold direct via email/phone with prepayment.

Ownership rests with two private individuals — Armando Beccaletto-Rüegg (CEO, sales/administration) and Peter Beglinger-Wyss (COO, production/logistics/engineering) — who acquired the company in 2004. The 1996 spin-off from A. & J. Stöckli AG established the current legal entity. Sustainability and compliance credentials are a core commercial lever: CKW-free and RoHS-compliant since November 2005, CO2-neutral production since the 2010 facility move, 6,000 tonnes cumulative CO2 savings, ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 re-certified in 2024, and a 740-panel PV system commissioned May 2023. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the company has no subsidiaries, no external funding rounds, and no parent company.

Core offering

Stöckli Metall AG operates a full-service sheet metal processing centre (Blechbearbeitungs-Zentrum) in Netstal, Switzerland, offering end-to-end manufacturing services from engineering and tool construction through deep drawing, stamping, laser cutting, bending, welding, powder coating, assembly, and logistics. The company manufactures precision custom and serial sheet metal parts for industrial B2B customers in mechanical engineering, automotive, aviation, medical technology, and household appliances, and also produces two proprietary end-products: the PET and Can Press (a manually operated stainless steel recycling baler) and the Palace copper cookware line.

Product overview

Stöckli Metall AG operates as a full-service sheet metal processing centre (Blechbearbeitungs-Zentrum) offering an end-to-end portfolio of manufacturing services and proprietary products. Core manufacturing services include deep drawing (up to 315 t hydraulic presses and 8-station step press), stamping and bending (up to 200 t automatons), laser cutting (up to 16 mm steel), CNC bending and folding, welding (TIG/MIG, spot, CNC bolt, and 1500W laser welding), die casting as a system supplier, powder coating (standard, high-gloss, and Chrom-Look finishes), grinding, polishing and deburring, chromium-free cleaning and passivation, and pad printing. The company also provides in-house engineering and 3D CAD construction, tool construction (EDM, milling, turning), assembly of modules and complete products, and logistics (just-in-time, KANBAN, VMI, DAL). Beyond toll processing, proprietary products include the PET- und Dosen-Presse — a manually operated stainless steel PET/can crusher that reduces storage volume by 70% — and the Palace series copper cookware collection.

Comparable as the leading supplier of large-tonnage presses (the category of STM's 315t hydraulic presses) and as a broad incumbent serving similar industrial OEMs.
• Bystronic AG: Swiss-headquartered global leader in sheet metal processing machinery and automation for laser cutting, bending, and tube processing. Comparable because Bystronic supplies the equipment STM operates and competes for the same Swiss/European customers' in-house-versus-outsource sourcing decisions.
• AMADA CO., LTD. Japanese global manufacturer of sheet metal machinery (laser cutting, stamping, bending) with worldwide service network. Comparable as a global broad incumbent in sheet metal processing whose equipment competes for the same end-customers' tooling and capacity budgets.
• Salvagnini Italia S.p.A. Italian maker of flexible sheet metal fabrication systems (panel benders, punch-laser combos, FMS lines). Comparable as a European broad incumbent in integrated sheet metal automation whose systems compete for the same end-customer capex decisions.

Others

• Georg Fischer AG: Swiss-listed industrial company producing metal components for industrial, automotive, and water systems. Comparable as a Swiss precision metal manufacturer with an overlapping DACH customer base, though its focus on cast and piped components differs from STM's sheet metal fabrication services.
