Schatti Ag, Metallwarenfabrik

What Schatti Ag, Metallwarenfabrik does

Schätti AG Metallwarenfabrik is a privately held Swiss family-owned metal manufacturer founded in 1934 and now in its fourth generation, headquartered in Schwanden, Switzerland, with approximately 100 highly qualified employees. The company operates a fully vertically integrated production stack spanning sheet metal forming (Trumatic 7000 laser-punching lines, automated sheet storage, robotic bending cell), CNC machining and turning, five certified MIG/MAG and TIG welding robots, automatic powder coating with silk-screen printing and laser marking, and final assembly. Batch sizes range from 10 to 100,000 pieces, and the firm meets its own heating and production-process energy needs with 100% naturemade-star-certified biogas since July 2021.

The company's commercial portfolio is split between B2B component and co-manufacturing work and a small set of owned sub-brands. As a co-manufacturer and white-label producer it supplies custom components and finished devices to European household appliance brands (range hoods and ventilation units), furniture and design houses (mechanical engineering and production for brands such as Limbic Life, DADADUM, Moving Walls, and Atelier Pfister), medical technology manufacturers, shop fitters, apparatus engineering customers, and white-goods and fire-safety specialists. Owned brands include the 2011-acquired Olympia Express (portafilter espresso machines and grinders sold through a worldwide specialty dealer network) and the 2012-launched Schätti Leuchten luminaire collection developed with designer Jörg Boner.

Revenue is generated primarily through quote-based custom B2B manufacturing contracts, supplemented by own-brand hardware sales through Olympia Express dealers and Schätti Leuchten channels. Distribution is regional across Switzerland, Germany, Austria, France, and Italy, with selected global reach via the Olympia Express dealer network and mass-production extension through Bulgarian partner Glatec EOOD (formerly Schätti Bulgaria EOOD, established 2005). The customer mix is horizontal across multiple industrial and design verticals, executed under ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 3834-2 certifications.
