Company

Open to the world and truly Swiss
 
MATHIS AG, based in the Swiss town of Oberhasli, and the machines and systems which the company produces have been a byword in dyeing laboratories since 1968. We also manufacture production systems for dyeing textile ribbons. In our second production division we develop and manufacture machines and systems for coating a wide range of materials.

50 years of Mathis AG – retrospect and outlook
By Beat Mathis, CEO
 
MATHIS AG  - the past
Werner Mathis AG was founded in 1968 by my father Werner Mathis.

In his former position as the chief design engineer of a company producing textile machines, he soon realized that there was a great market potential for textile machines and laboratory equipment for dyeing and finishing applications.

He thought that the machines available at the time were much too large to be able to make the necessary settings for laboratory work.

Werner Mathis therefore launched his own business and started to develop and build the first laboratory machines in the basement of his house.

Soon the demand for MATHIS equipment was so great that he was able to erect a new building in Oberhasli to accommodate the growing company, which it moved into in 1975.

The footprint and height of the building was extended in 1986.

In 1995 the company acquired another production building in the same industrial complex which has accommodated our metal workshop and the entire sheet metal processing facilities ever since.

In 2002 we extended the main building, creating a 40 by 20 meter assembly shop to enable us to assemble large systems.

A workforce of 60 is currently employed at the company's headquarters in Oberhasli:

Our philosophy: Providing an individual solution for all our customers' needs

We advocate the highest quality as this is what we believe in. We demonstrate to our customers that reproducible results which can be used for large-scale production can only be obtained with precision laboratory equipment. For us "Made in Switzerland" means the highest quality, a long service life and low maintenance requirements.
Another reason for our success is our close, collaborative interaction with our customers. Due to our own very high degree of vertical integration we are able to react quickly and selectively to special customer requirements and implement our solutions accordingly. As a result the machines and equipment undergo constant further development with the input of our customers.
Many of our machines and systems are of customized design. Our philosophy is that nothing is impossible, and we work together with our customers to find the ideal solution for all assignments.
 
Over the past 40 years we have built a total of around 13,500 machines and systems which have been sold around the world.

Most of these are still in operation today and we carry out any necessary repair work or supply customers with the necessary spare parts. After sales service is one of our main priorities.
 
We would like to thank all our customers for the confidence they have shown in us over the past 40 years and look forward to continuing our fruitful collaboration in the future.
