Staubli is celebrating 125 years in production, maintaining
its quality and innovation. It has developed into a leading industrial partner
for high-quality mechatronic solutions and technologies since its inception.
Its textile activities have grown in line with its corporate
targets, and Staubli has become a leading supplier to the global weaving
industry.
The spirit of innovation has defined our company from the beginning –
it’s rooted deeply in the nature of Staubli," said Rolf Strebel, Staubli
CEO. "It is the reason we constantly develop new solutions which add value
for our customers. Other decisive factors for our long-term success are the
spirit of cohesion amongst our staff around the globe, our inquisitiveness, and
our philosophy of continuous improvement. Our aspiration is to constantly
improve – on a human, professional, and technical level – and to remain just as
successful during the next 125 years."
With three dedicated activities – Connectors, Robotics and Textile – Staubli is
valued by industrial customers for its high-quality products and technologies.
Staubli has grown exuberantly since 1892, in both technical and geographic
terms. In 1969, Staubli acquired the German company Trumpelt, which specialised
in heavy dobbies. As a shedding solution specialist in frame weaving, the
company then decided to expand its range to include Jacquard weaving.
This led to the acquisition of Verdol in Lyon, a manufacturer of mechanical
Jacquard machines. And to expand its product range to cover the complete
weaving process, the companies Zellweger (weaving preparation solutions) and
Schonherr (carpet weaving systems) were purchased in 1994 and 1998. Finally,
the DEIMO company was acquired, a long-time industry partner providing drive
and control systems for a wide range of applications.This expansion strategy
has been constantly augmented by intensive R&D activities, and the result
is seen in a comprehensive range of high-performance products integrating
state-of-the-art technologies.
