Waldner AG Schweiz

What Waldner AG Schweiz does

Waldner AG Schweiz is the Swiss sales, engineering, and service subsidiary of the German Waldner Group, a privately held, family-owned industrial company founded in 1908 in Wangen im Allgäu, with the Swiss entity established in 1971 and headquartered in Neuhaus SG (with a second Swiss office in Corseaux VD). The group employs approximately 1,700 people worldwide, including 115 apprentices across 15 technical professions, and reports annual sales of more than €350 million from 65,000 m² of production space at its main Wangen site. Waldner designs, manufactures, and services custom-engineered laboratory, process, filling, and educational equipment under brands including Secuflow (energy-optimized fume hoods saving up to 33% energy), DOSOMAT (filling and dosing systems for dairy, beverages, pharma, cosmetics, and pet food), GreenBasics (modular laboratory sustainability consulting), and medienBuddy (mobile media supply units for schools). It holds 256 patents and operates with ISO 9001, ISO 50001, and PEFC certifications at its primary production site.

The company sells to enterprise customers across pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, chemicals, food and beverage processing, research, education, medicine, analytics, automotive, and petrochemical/industrial markets, with reference projects including the NOI Techpark Bolzano (over 40 laboratories, 1,500 m², equipped with Secuflow fume hoods) and the Akylman Presidential School education program. Its go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales executed through 13 wholly owned subsidiaries and branches worldwide and a network of more than 100 international partners and dealers, with pricing handled through individual quotation rather than public list prices. Revenue mechanics are anchored in project-based hardware sales of custom-engineered systems, supplemented by technical service, maintenance, spare parts, and staff training that sustain long-term customer relationships, and by recurring consulting revenue from the GreenBasics sustainability program. Distribution, brand, and service infrastructure — built over more than a century — together form the core of the business model.
