KLINGER Switzerland

What KLINGER Switzerland does

KLINGER Switzerland (legal entity: Klinger AG Egliswil) is a Swiss industrial materials manufacturer founded in 1980 and headquartered in Egliswil, Aargau. It operates as the designated competence center of the KLINGER Group, focused on high-temperature gasket and sealing materials. The company is privately held and has reported headcount of 7 employees.

The product portfolio is organized into three core technology lines: (1) flexible graphite laminates (e.g., KLINGER flexible graphite H/HL, MLX, PDM, PIM, PSL, PSM, SLA, SLI, SLN, SLS, TSM, XSM) for high-temperature sealing; (2) mica laminates (milam H, milam PSS) for fire-barrier and high-temperature insulation; and (3) the POLYSTRAT family of rubber-coated-steel materials, split into gasket materials and shim materials for industrial and automotive applications. Supporting capabilities include in-house product development, material testing, quality management, and production, plus digital tools (Material Finder, Klinger Expert) used by engineering customers for material selection and gasket calculation.

KLINGER Switzerland does not sell directly to end customers at scale; instead it operates a channel-partner GTM model, distributing products globally through the KLINGER Group's network of service and distribution partners in more than 60 countries and supplementing it with a direct sales and technical-support function for product approvals and consultancy. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time sales of industrial sealing materials (and supporting consultancy, lab-testing, and product-approval services), with B2B contact-based pricing rather than public list prices. Customer segments are vertical-oriented, with industrial manufacturing as the primary segment and automotive sealing as a secondary segment.
