Steiner Blech + Metallbau

What Steiner Blech + Metallbau does

Steiner Blech & Metallbau AG is a third-generation, family-owned sheet metal processing and metal construction company headquartered in Bern-Bümpliz, Switzerland. Founded in 1933 by Willy and Ernst Steiner, the firm was converted from a sole proprietorship to a Swiss stock corporation (AG) in 2000 when Daniel Steiner took over management; the business completed its third-generation ownership transition in 2019 under Daniel and Désirée Steiner. It serves primarily regional B2B customers in the city and region of Bern, alongside a smaller B2C segment purchasing decorative products.

The company operates two core service lines. "Blech" covers sheet metal processing — shearing, laser cutting, bending, surface treatment, and deburring — supported by a modern machine park that includes a Boschert 3kW Fiber Laser (commissioned May 2021 with a 1500 x 4000 mm working area), two Safan E-Brake CNC press brakes (200t and 150t), a Safan M-Shear 430-10 TS200 hybrid-drive shear, and a Loewer Swing-Grinder. "Metallbau" covers metal construction and welding — including MAG, MIG/WIG, spot, and stud welding — for custom fabrication projects. An in-house material warehouse stocks standard aluminum, stainless steel, and steel sheets, supporting roughly three-day fulfillment for stocked items.

Revenue is generated primarily through quote-based, project-driven custom fabrication contracts for regional B2B customers, supplemented by unit-priced standardized decorative products (laser-cut animal figures, Bern cityscapes, stainless steel phone holders) sold via the Blech-Shop e-commerce storefront with shipping within Switzerland. Go-to-market is direct: personal consultation, email, phone, in-person visits, referrals, and word-of-mouth, with no formal digital marketing or social media presence. Named reference customers include Inselspital (Bern University Hospital), Brummatte, Golfclub Wallenried, der Florist, Roadbike Arts, and various private customers seeking balconies, railings, gates, stairs, and custom decorative pieces. The company operates a three-vehicle delivery fleet serving the Bern region.
