What Renggli does

Renggli AG is a privately held Swiss laboratory systems provider headquartered in Rotkreuz (Canton of Zug), with additional offices in Puidoux (Switzerland) and a partner subsidiary, Renggli-Salvis Laboratory Systems (Yangzhou) Co. Ltd., in China. The company plans, produces, and installs complete laboratory systems, including a proprietary modular laboratory furniture line (RL1, RL2, RL3, RL7, RL Individual, RL School), the LabAirTec and LabAirTec Green fume hood families (ducted and recirculating variants), media supply systems, and a broad apparatus portfolio covering washing and cleaning, water purification, refrigeration and ultra-low temperature freezing, autoclaving and sterilization, thermostatization, safety cabinets and laminar flows, vacuum technology, drying and incubation, and shaking/centrifuges. It also delivers custom apparatus and plant engineering (custom autoclaves and washers, clean room technology, environmental chambers, and pure/ultra-pure water systems) under the SalvisLab sub-brand for glassware washers and cleaning consumables.

All laboratory systems are produced in Renggli's own Swiss workshops, pre-assembled by product line, and installed on site by the company's own assembly teams. Service offerings include expert consultation, installation and commissioning, training, calibration, IQ/OQ qualification, maintenance of laboratory apparatus and facilities, dedicated cooling and freezing service, and laboratory relocation. Revenue is generated through one-time hardware sales, custom engineering projects, and recurring service and maintenance contracts.

The customer base spans pharmaceutical and biotech (Novartis, Lonza, Roche, Bachem, Philip Morris International), research and academia (ETH Zürich, Universität Zürich, Universität Bern, Fachhochschule Nordwestschweiz), healthcare providers (Kantonsspital Aarau, CSL Biologics Research Center, Institut für Pathologie St. Gallen), industrial clients (Metrohm, Schärer + Schläpfer), government (Amt für Verbraucherschutz Zug), and educational institutions. Go-to-market is enterprise direct sales with field-based expert consultation, contact-driven inquiries, and a multilingual website (German, French, English). The company is described as the Swiss market leader for laboratory system planning and installation.
