Essemtec Celebrates 20th Anniversary
2011 will be a milestone anniversary for Essemtec as the Swiss company becomes 20 years old. Essemtec has grown from a small business to an international provider of production systems.
For Martin Ziehbrunner, CEO, an anniversary is similar to an award, of which Essemtec has won several throughout the past 20 years: An acknowledgement of good performance and an incentive for the future, but not a reason to relax.
ThisTwenty years ago, Essemtec mainly distributed small devices for electronics assembly. Today, in addition to electronics, the company offers production systems across numerous other industries, including LED manufacturing, solar, medical technology and aerospace. Additionally, there are many customers from other industries for which Essemtec develops and builds customer-specific systems.
For the company’s 20-year anniversary, Essemtec plans a mid-year celebration at its headquarters in Aesch, Lucerne, Switzerland. The company plans to continue to invest in the development in the future so that 20 years may turn into 25+ years and more.
