About André Industrial AG
André Industrial AG, headquartered in Stans (Canton of Nidwalden, Switzerland), develops and produces chemical coating systems, sealants and adhesives for demanding industrial applications. A key focus is the defense industry: ammunition seals and coatings for small, medium and large calibers according to German TL and US-MIL standards. Further markets include automotive, aerospace, construction, windows and doors as well as UV-curing systems. Technologies include KTL/e-coat, UV/LED curing, high-solids and water-dilutable systems, phosphating as pretreatment, and antifriction coatings, complemented by application technologies such as sealing machines and Tip-ID. The company also offers contract manufacturing to customer specification, private-label filling and packaging, as well as worldwide raw materials trading. With production sites in Germany and Slovakia and a Germany warehouse in operation since August 2024, the company supplies customers worldwide; headcount is between 51 and 200.
