What Airtec does

AIRTEC AG is a Swiss, family-owned manufacturer of floor surface preparation and renovation equipment, founded in 1974 by René Wyser and headquartered in Zunzgen, Baselland. The company's commercial center of gravity is the AIRTEC VISTA-FLOOR-SYSTEM, an integrated offering that bundles matched machines — floor milling/scarifying machines, electric power tools, floor strippers, grinding and polishing equipment, industrial vacuums, and closed-circuit shot blasting systems — with proprietary diamond tooling, pneumatic tools, and original spare parts.

The business operates through four revenue streams: (1) equipment and accessory sales, including diamond tools and replacement parts, distributed via a multilingual (DE/EN/FR) e-commerce storefront; (2) a rental center at the Zunzgen headquarters offering temporary access to machines; (3) repair and maintenance services performed in the company's own workshops; and (4) expert consultation from delivery through specialized applications. Pricing is unit-based and published for selected items (e.g., CHF 120 for an AIRTEC tool box, CHF 950 for the RONDA 200-H industrial vacuum), with project-level service pricing on a contact basis.

AIRTEC serves two primary customer segments: flooring professionals and contractors performing surface preparation, coating removal, grinding, and polishing on concrete, natural stone, and marble; and industrial and commercial facilities requiring large-scale floor treatment. The company maintains SN EN ISO 9001:2015 certification continuously since 1995 and CE certification, and pursues international market reach through participation in European trade exhibitions such as EPF2026 and Flooring Summit 360°. The firm remains privately held by the Wyser family, with no external investors, funding events, or M&A activity disclosed.
