What Amsler & Frey does
Amsler & Frey AG is a privately held Swiss precision plastics manufacturer founded in 1968 and headquartered in Schinznach-Dorf, Canton of Aargau. The company specializes in high-precision CNC machining of technical plastic parts, supported by an extensive inventory of semi-finished plastic products (rods, plates, hollow bars) in thermoplastics, thermosets, fluoroplastics, high-performance plastics, medical-grade polymers, and food-grade materials. It complements its machining core with 3D printing services spanning more than 10 additive technologies and 50+ materials, 3D scanning and reverse engineering, module assembly, and technical consulting. The firm holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016 certifications, enabling supply into regulated medical technology applications with full traceability, and its food-industry products comply with EU Regulation 10/2011.
The company operates a multi-channel go-to-market model: a corporate website (amsler-frey.ch) and an e-commerce webshop (shop.amsler-frey.ch) with a cutting configurator and 5% online discount for semi-finished products; direct phone/email sales for custom machined parts and assemblies; a 3D printing configurator via jellypipe.com; and presence on LinkedIn, Facebook, and XING. Geographic focus is the DACH region (Switzerland, Germany, Austria), with 24-hour delivery guaranteed for semi-finished products anywhere in Switzerland. Customer segments are diversified across medical technology, food processing, and broader industrial manufacturing, with no disclosed anchor accounts, and revenue mix spans enterprise contracts, transactional webshop volume, and bespoke engineering services.
Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and no funding rounds, venture, or private equity involvement have been identified, suggesting a bootstrapped or family-owned Swiss AG. Recent 2024 strategic actions include launching stock-ground PEEK rods to H9 tolerance, introducing a sustainable/recycled product line, participating in MedtechLIVE 2024 in Stuttgart, opening an online webshop, and completing an externally reviewed Scope 1/2/3 carbon footprint. Operational signals, including apprenticeship completions and active hiring, indicate modest but ongoing scaling of the business within its established DACH niche.
