Gloor Ag

What Gloor Ag does

Gloor AG is a privately held, family-owned Swiss industrial manufacturer headquartered in Burgdorf, Switzerland, specializing in pressure regulation technology and oxyacetylene (autogenous) gas equipment. The company develops, manufactures, and assembles all products domestically in Switzerland using state-of-the-art machinery, organized around three core product lines: pressure regulators for industrial, medical, and ultra-pure gases; central gas supply systems that distribute gas via pipelines from central cylinder banks to multiple workstations; and complete oxyacetylene welding and cutting equipment including torches, regulators, nozzles, hoses, flame arrestors, and propane systems. Complementary lines include welding fume extraction units (Dusty EVO, SmartMaster, ProfiMaster, MaxiFil), protective walls for welding enclosures, school training systems for vocational education, and the Hobbyflam range targeting hobbyist users. A separate sub-brand, Gloor Medical, addresses hospital-grade central gas supply and medical pressure regulators.

The company sells through a hybrid model: direct-to-consumer and direct-to-business e-commerce via shop.gloor.ch (with business account registration and downloadable PDF catalogs), combined with a wholly-owned Brussels-based distribution subsidiary, Gloor EU Srl, which handles sales for Belgium, France, and Germany. Product pricing is published individually in Swiss Francs, ranging from roughly CHF 1 for consumables to over CHF 5,000 for extraction units, with no public volume or tier pricing. Gloor serves a horizontally diversified customer base across industrial manufacturers, hospitals and medical facilities, laboratories and research institutions, professional tradespeople, vocational schools, and hobbyists. The company has not disclosed revenue, headcount, or external funding and operates as a going concern under continuous family ownership.
