What SWISS - FORM a. s. does

SWISS - FORM a.s. is a Czech sheet-metal contract manufacturer founded in 1990 in Nejdek by Czech and Swiss shareholders, operating as a joint stock company (akciová společnost). The company specializes in precision processing of thin sheet metal (steel, stainless steel, aluminum) in thicknesses of 1-5 mm, producing parts and welded/mounted assemblies in small to medium series up to approximately 500x500x500 mm. Core manufacturing capabilities include laser cutting and punching (Bystronic ByStar), automated bending (three AMADA ASTRO CELL robotic cells), manual and robotic welding (ABB and Migatronic since 2015, CoWelder UR-10 collaborative robot since 2021), CNC machining (Hyundai F400 and Fehlmann), in-house powder coating (since 2020), screen printing with over 25 years of experience, and full/partial assembly. Two production sites are operated: the headquarters at Nerudova 369 in Nejdek and a 6,000 m2 manufacturing hall at Tovární 359 in Nová Role, opened in 2019.

The company serves five industrial verticals: medical technology (parts for respirators and dental instruments used worldwide), laboratory technology (analytical, testing, and precision weighing instruments), gastronomy (industrial coffee-machine components), telecommunications and IT (shielded and unshielded patch panels, switches, and server-rack components with electronics assembly), and electrotechnics (housings and enclosures for sensitive equipment). It is certified to ISO 9001:2015 (quality), ISO 14001:2015 (environment), and ISO 45001:2018 (occupational health and safety), and runs multilingual corporate communications in Czech, German, and English with stated worldwide delivery via local cargo and international freight forwarders.

SWISS-FORM operates a project-based B2B contract-manufacturing model. Customer engagement is initiated through RFQ or inquiry submissions routed via website contact forms and direct phone lines to sales, planning, design, quality, purchasing, and logistics departments. Pricing is fully custom per inquiry with no published price list; revenue is project-based from sheet-metal parts and assemblies rather than from licenses or subscriptions. GTM motion is enterprise field sales targeting industrial OEMs in the five named verticals, with services spanning from CAD-based design engineering and sampling through serial production to surface finishing, quality assurance, and logistics. In 2023, the company commissioned its own photovoltaic power plant at Nová Role with co-financing from the Czech Modernization Fund to reduce energy costs and improve sustainability positioning.
