Merger of André Gueissaz SA and Ruetschi Technology

A brief history

André Gueissaz SA was founded in 1848 starting out in the manufacture of mechanical music boxes. As history evolved, so did the company and in the late sixties, the company was specialized in injection molding and micro-injection molding of thermoplastics.

After more than a century of history, the company continues to develop its skills and know-how in the work of technical materials offering the highest performance. It offers a global service for plastic components, from design, toolmaking, industrialization to production and sterile packaging of the finished product.

In 2006 the company joined forces with Ruetschi Technology, a company founded in 1960. Ruetschi Technology started out as a watch dial manufacturer and diversified into CNC-machining in the 70’s. Today, the company designs and produces instruments and implants, with a special focus on procedure kits for spinal surgery, dental implantology and orthopedics.

“This is a natural step that will accelerate our common strategy. In this way we can improve our organization, gain efficiency and get access to new growth opportunities and create an even greater value to our customers and partners”, says Christoph Ruetschi, Co-CEO for the company. “Together we will shape the medical device industry for years to come and successfully pursue our mission: “Improving patient safety”.”
