Eichenberger

What Eichenberger does

Eichenberger Grafische Maschinen is a privately held, family-owned Swiss specialist for finishing equipment (Ausrüstmaschinen) in the graphic industry, founded in 1959 by Willy Eichenberger in the garage of his parents' house and now led by his son Peter Eichenberger, who took over in 1988. The company operates from a single site at Lerzenstrasse 19 B in the industrial zone of Dietikon, where it has been located since 1965, and supplies customers throughout Switzerland. It positions itself on its homepage as the "Schweizer Vertretung führender Hersteller" — the Swiss representative of leading European manufacturers — alongside an in-house workshop for repairs, revisions, and custom fabrication.

The company's core offering is paper-processing and finishing equipment, distributed as the Swiss representative for five OEMs: Morgana (Milton Keynes, UK), Iram (Vetlanda, Sweden), Brehmer, Agrafix, and Hohner. The product range spans paper drilling machines, wire stitching machines, cutting machines, perforating machines, scoring and folding machines, numbering machines, and carton machines, including branded lines such as the AUTOCREASER Pro 33, Autocreaser MK2, AGRAFIX BX, and IRAM 16. Eichenberger also sells refurbished used machines (Occasionen) and operates an in-house workshop delivering repair and revision services, single and special custom fabrications, machine modifications, machine relocations, and a 24-hour grinding service for paper drill bits available on a subscription basis. Beyond the core graphic-industry vertical, the company extends its custom-fabrication and repair services into the food industry as a secondary customer segment.

The business operates a direct B2B sales model with five primary revenue streams: new machine sales (as Swiss distributor for OEM partners), refurbished used machine sales, professional repair and maintenance services, consumables and spare parts (paper drills, stapling wire, drill pads, drill chucks, V-belts), and grinding services. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Customer acquisition is driven by a minimal digital footprint — the company website, local business directory listings on local.ch and search.ch, and direct phone and email inquiries — with no evidence of paid digital marketing, e-commerce, or external investment. There are no documented funding rounds, headcount figures, subsidiaries, patents, trademarks, certifications, or revenue disclosures in the input data.
