Beutler Nova

What Beutler Nova does

ANDRITZ Beutler AG (formerly Beutler Nova AG) is a Swiss mechanical-engineering company founded in August 1992 in Gettnau, Canton Lucerne, after the bankruptcy of the predecessor Maschinenfabrik E. Beutler AG. The company designs, manufactures, and services heavy-duty C-frame presses (C-Gestell-Pressen) and automatic stamping machines (Stanzautomaten), configured to customer specifications through a proprietary modular building-block system (Baukastensystem). Each press can be assembled from standardized modules to meet individual production requirements, with in-house-developed control systems governing the stamping machines.

The company operates a project-based, direct enterprise sales motion, selling customized press and stamping systems primarily to large automotive OEMs and tier suppliers, as well as to specialty industrial manufacturers such as Hohner (musical instruments). The largest single order in company history — 14 forming presses, each weighing over 80 tonnes, for an automotive customer in Germany — was signed in autumn 2020 and delivered by early 2022. Bundled lifecycle services — consulting, planning, commissioning, operator training, preventive maintenance, and turnkey plant delivery — generate recurring revenue from the installed base.

Since 2013 the company has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of ANDRITZ Schuler Pressen GmbH (Göppingen, Germany), part of the Austrian ANDRITZ Group operating in 40 countries with over 5,000 employees. It rebranded from Beutler Nova AG to ANDRITZ Beutler AG on July 1, 2025 to formalize this corporate identity. The Swiss entity employs approximately 60 people at its sole manufacturing facility in Gettnau, inaugurated in expanded form in May 2022. Pricing is custom-quoted per machine; no public pricing or disclosed revenue figures are available.
