SCHÖTTLI AG of Diessenhofen/Switzerland is looking back on 60 successful corporate years. At the beginning of November, the international specialist for the development and production of high-performance injection moulds for medical parts, caps, closures and thin-wall packaging celebrated its anniversary with a ceremony for the company’s 160 staff members.
In 1950, the company’s founder Theodor Schöttli (90) established a small mould making facility in the village of Paradies in the Swiss canton of Thurgau and in 1952, he founded SCHÖTTLI AG. Schöttli’s first customers quickly spread the word of the precision engineer’s special skills. It did not take long before he supplied plastics processors all over Germany and Europe. In 1973, SCHÖTTLI AG relocated to Diessenhofen and in 1986, the founder’s son Martin Schöttli (59) became managing director and consolidated the company’s position as a specialist supplier to the global market.
In October 2012, Thomas Anderegg took over as CEO from Martin Schöttli. In the spirit of Theodor Schöttli’s corporate philosophy and Martin Schöttli’s visionary thinking, he will continue to advance the corporate success and lead it into its seventh decade. Martin Schöttli will continue serving the company as a board member and for special tasks.
SCHÖTTLI AG aims at boosting its customers’ output rates. At present, SCHÖTTLI develops high-performance moulds for medical parts, caps, closures and thin-wall packaging. Since the company’s establishment, SCHÖTTLI moulds have been renowned for their high quality and precision, reliability, compact design and short cycle times. The international company’s core competence is engineering moulds that meet exacting requirements and offer a high number of cavities, such as stack moulds with 192+192 cavities. SCHÖTTLI uses its own hot runner systems. More than 90% of SCHÖTTLI’s products are exported. Thanks to an international network of subsidiaries and representations in all important markets, the mould specialist maintains a strong global presence.
SCHÖTTLI AG is a core member of Mould Technologies Group (MTG), founded in 2008, with headquarters in Diessenhofen/Switzerland. Other members of MTG include s-mouldtech of Suzhou/China and MAGOR of San Dimas CA/USA. Together, the three mould engineering specialists with a total of 300 employees offer an extensive portfolio of moulds from a single source.
