A. Krattiger AG

What A. Krattiger AG does

A. Krattiger AG is a privately held Swiss precision-manufacturing company founded in 1946 and headquartered in Oensingen, Switzerland. It specializes in high-precision bar turning (décolletage) for components up to 16mm diameter, complemented by gear cutting, rolling, assembly, and surface-treatment operations. The company serves three primary verticals: connectics (connection technology), watchmaking, and medical — the last enabled by ISO 13485 quality management certification achieved in 2016, which mandates 100% product traceability. In-house capabilities span CNC automatic lathes, Strausak rolling machines, gear measurement, burring, polishing, washing, tempering, nickel-plating, and packaging, all managed through an SAP-integrated production system with SPC monitoring.

The company manufactures parts from steel, stainless steel, titanium, brass, copper, plastic, and precious metals, offering end-to-end support from product-development consultation through final delivery. It operates a single production site in Oensingen with a climate-controlled measurement room and modern CNC equipment. No revenue, headcount, or ownership data is publicly disclosed; the firm appears to operate independently without a parent entity or institutional investment.

Its go-to-market is consultative and direct: customers engage through the company website contact form or phone, and the firm provides quotations on a custom-parts basis rather than publishing price lists. There are no identified resellers, distributors, or digital marketing channels. Markets served include Switzerland and select international (European) customers, supported by a trilingual French/German/English website.

Direct peers

• Mikron Group: Swiss precision-machining group producing high-volume turned and milled components for similar demanding end-markets including medical devices and industrial connectors. Comparable in scale and Swiss precision-manufacturing heritage.
• Rollomatic SA: Swiss precision tooling and grinding-equipment manufacturer serving cutting-tool and precision-component customers. Comparable in Swiss precision-machining DNA and customer-quality orientation, though more capital-equipment weighted.
• Feintool International Holding AG: Swiss precision metal-parts manufacturer specializing in fineblanking and high-precision components for automotive, industrial, and medical customers. Overlaps with Krattiger on medical and industrial precision-parts demand.
• Fraisa SA: Swiss precision cutting-tool manufacturer producing milling cutters, drills, and taps used in the same precision-turning workshops that Krattiger serves. Comparable Swiss mid-market precision supplier profile.
• Agathon AG: Swiss manufacturer of precision machine tools and small precision components based in the same Jura/Solothurn precision cluster. Comparable Swiss precision-turning and tooling heritage with similar customer overlap.
• Baumer Group: Swiss precision components and sensor manufacturer with similar Swiss SME heritage, serving medical, industrial, and connectics end-markets — overlapping strongly with Krattiger's customer verticals.
• Manufacture Modules Technologies (MMT): Swiss watchmaking mechanical-movements manufacturer created by Audemars Piguet, Girard-Perregaux and others; a direct downstream buyer of Swiss precision components similar to those Krattiger produces.
• Tornos SA: Swiss-headquartered manufacturer of precision turning machines and turned parts serving the same watchmaking, medical, and connectics end-markets as Krattiger. Closest direct peer in geography, capabilities, and customer base.
• Manufacture Horlogère Valfleurie: Swiss watchmaking components manufacturer focused on precision horological parts. Direct overlap with Krattiger's watchmaking rolling and gear-cutting vertical, with similar Swiss SME scale.

Broad incumbents

• ETA SA Manufacture Horlogère Suisse: Subsidiary of Swatch Group and the dominant Swiss industrial supplier of watch movements and components. Competes with Krattiger's horology offerings but at vastly larger scale and as part of a vertically integrated luxury conglomerate.
