About ARCOZ
ARCOZ AG, headquartered in Bettlach in the canton of Solothurn, is a Swiss family-owned company that has been active in the field of automation since 1984 – previously as ABS-Ruefer AG. The company develops and produces components and modules for mechanical engineering, including its own SYZAX linear axis system in the SMART, COMPACT and HEAVY series, patented spring detanglers, O-ring assembly equipment, jigs and fixtures, and micro-dosing systems. In addition, ARCOZ offers products from proven partner companies such as cobots from Han's Robot, micro-dosing systems from VERMES and miniature robots from CPC. For the Swiss market, the company realizes complete solutions, special-purpose machinery and automation projects from A to Z as a project partner or general contractor – from consulting and integration into existing systems to prototype and jig building. The products and systems are delivered to numerous countries across Europe and are used, among others, in the watch industry, electronics, medical technology, precision mechanics and the automotive sector.
