Fischer Reinach AG & Co. KG

What Fischer Reinach AG & Co. KG does

Fischer Reinach AG is a Swiss precision metalworking manufacturer headquartered in Reinach, Aargau, with operating production sites in Switzerland, Germany (Füssen, Bavaria via the 91%-owned subsidiary ZETKA Stanz- und Biegetechnik GmbH & Co. KG) and historically Austria. Founded in 1842 as a wire and metal goods factory, the company has been owned and operated by the Fischer family for six generations, currently under President of the Board Peter Fischer since 2010. It produces millions of precision metal components daily for enterprise customers in the automotive, electrical/electronics, and construction/fittings industries, with secondary exposure to sports, leisure and aviation applications.

The group's core technology rests on three precision forming platforms — high-performance Bruderer automatic stamping (press force 25-160 tonnes, strip widths up to 250mm, material thicknesses 0.1-3.5mm), Bihler stamping and bending automation (wire diameters 0.5-7mm, strip widths up to 100mm), and National/Hilgeland cold/warm forming (wire diameters 2-12mm, 2-7 forming stages) — supported by an in-house air-conditioned tool-making facility with 5-axis machining and robot-assisted erosion. Proprietary products include the patented FIRIPA connection basket for prefabricated reinforcements, the BIZON® press-fit zone for near-production prototypes, and the Wizon product brand. The full service chain runs from development and prototyping through stamping, bending, forming, module assembly, finishing (electroplating, heat treatment, barrel finishing, parts cleaning) and logistics.

The business model is a direct enterprise B2B sales motion (no retail or distributor channels) selling custom and standard precision components on a project-based pricing basis under non-disclosed terms, with sales led by a dedicated "Leitung Verkauf" team and direct engineering support. Quality is certified to IATF 16949 (automotive with PPAP), ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, EcoVadis, REACH and the Swiss EnAW energy efficiency program. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the group employs approximately 350-400 people across Switzerland and Germany and continues to operate under family ownership with no external investors.

Core offering

Fischer Reinach manufactures precision metal components from steel, light metals, and non-ferrous metals using stamping, stamping-and-bending, and cold/warm forming technologies. The company offers a one-stop-shop from development and prototyping through tool making, production, finishing, and module assembly, supplying safety-critical parts to automotive, electrical/electronics, and construction/fittings industries. Production ranges from the smallest contact components to larger assembled module systems, produced millions of pieces daily.

Product overview

Fischer Reinach AG is a precision metalworking company offering a comprehensive portfolio of manufacturing services and products. The core offering includes three main manufacturing technologies: stamping (Stanzteile), stamping and bending (Stanzbiegeteile), and cold/warm forming. These are complemented by supporting services including tool making, prototype development, module assembly, and surface finishing (electroplating, heat treatment, barrel finishing, parts cleaning). Key branded products include BIZON® (press-fit zone technology), Wizon, Busbars, and electrical contacts. The company serves four main industry verticals: fittings/construction supply, electrical industry, automotive, and other industries (sports, leisure, aviation). Products range from small contact components to larger assembled module systems, all manufactured with tolerances at the upper end of the precision scale.

Direct peers

• Feintool International Holding AG: Swiss-headquartered precision metal stamping and fineblanking specialist serving the automotive, electrical, and industrial markets. Closest like-for-like peer to Fischer Reinach given shared Swiss-DACH precision-stamping heritage, similar automotive/electrical end-market mix, and IATF-certified production.
• GEDIA Automotive Group: German automotive Tier 1 supplier of stamped, formed, and assembled metal structures (chassis, body, e-mobility components). Comparable because of automotive concentration, stamping/forming technology, and cross-border German production footprint serving European OEMs.
• Walter Söll GmbH & Co. KG: German mid-market stamping and forming company specializing in precision metal components for automotive, electrical, and industrial applications. Comparable in scale, technology mix (cold forming, stamping), and end-market exposure.
• Hirschvogel Holding GmbH: German family-owned forging and stamping group producing precision components for automotive, mechanical engineering, and hydraulics. Comparable mid-market private industrial profile with similar vertical integration (forging, machining, assemblies) and DACH customer base.
• Multi-Contact (Stäubli Electrical Connectors): Swiss-headquartered manufacturer of precision electrical contacts, connectors, and contact systems for industrial, solar, and e-mobility applications.
