Founded over 100 years ago and headquartered in Schlieren, Switzerland, Schlatter Industries recently completed the full acquisition of Schlatter Italy, making it a wholly owned subsidiary, thereby strengthening its position in wire production and processing systems. The company focuses on comprehensive cold rolling, multi-drawing, stretching, and rewinding processes for high-strength steel wire products used in concrete reinforcement. In the 2024 financial year, Schlatter experienced a decline in net sales and operating earnings, impacted by steel industry crises, subdued construction in Europe, geopolitical turmoil, import duties in the US, a strong Swiss franc, and a cyber-attack causing delays and costs in commissioning. Despite these challenges, the company maintains a substantial order backlog heading into 2025 and targets profitability for the full year. Schlatter Industries consistently invests in research and development to enhance its resistance welding technology and weaving machinery offerings.
The company operates through two main segments: Welding and Weaving. Its recent strategic moves include reinforcing its market presence through subsidiary integration and maintaining high quality and management standards certified by audits. Geographically, Schlatter Industries serves global markets with a particular focus on Europe and the USA. The company is listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange under the ticker STRN.SW. Its commitment to innovation and comprehensive product solutions along the value chain positions it as a leader in machinery for wire processing and technical fabric weaving.
These latest developments and product offerings affirm Schlatter Industries AG's role as a significant player in machinery manufacturing for technical textiles and welded mesh products, addressing evolving customer needs across industrial applications worldwide.
