Grütter Kunststoff + Formen AG
Grütter Kunststoff + Formen AG is a Swiss plastics processor based in Hombrechtikon in the canton of Zurich. The company offers complete project management from a single source: consulting and project planning, preliminary studies and prototypes, design and mould-making as well as production from single pieces to series production, complemented by logistics and its own research into new plastic applications. The manufacturing processes include rotational moulding, thermoforming by plate vacuum forming and roll vacuum forming, as well as additive manufacturing; cutting dies are also manufactured. In terms of materials, thermoplastic plastics, ESD plastics for trays and packaging as well as bio-based powders for rotational moulding are processed. For customer-specific tools such as thermoforming and rotational moulds, cutting dies and gauges, the AG offers tool storage and management in a Basic and a Premium model. Customers come from various business fields, including Frei AquaService, Carbagas, Trutmann, Lily's, ANYbotics and Sensirion.
