This is us

Schweitzer Industries is our answer to today’s challenges in the retail industry. From process design to series production to worldwide delivery, Schweitzer Industries has been implementing tailor-made project and product rollouts for international retail customers since 2011. We’re setting new standards in speed, flexibility, and worldwide availability.

Bernhard Schweitzer

CEO, SCHWEITZER
«It was important to us to establish Schweitzer Industries as an independent division. A rollout-oriented organization requires completely different processes and structures than our project organization, with which we have been very successful since 1927. We understand the needs of international retail chains across all industries. Our worldwide success shows that we were right in our decision in 2011 to set up this additional division. With our branches in North America, Europe and Asia, we are now able to provide additional services for our customers within a very short time. In particular, our own wood and metal production facilities as well as the production of refrigerated cabinets are the backbone of Schweitzer Industries.

And this is just the beginning of another success story.»
