About Artol Fuchs SA
Artol Fuchs SA is a Swiss family-owned company in industrial contract manufacturing (tôlerie industrielle) headquartered in Granges-Paccot in the canton of Fribourg. The company manufactures custom sheet metal parts and sheet metal assemblies – from prototype to series production – and offers a complete value chain at one site: laser cutting, laser punching, punching, bending, welding, stud welding, surface treatment, powder coating (thermolaquage) and assembly of sub-assemblies including purchased parts. In addition, Artol Fuchs SA supports customers in product development and provides 3D design including sheet-metal-specific details. Production is based on a modern machine fleet with four directly coupled machines and a fully automated central storage system with 385 cassettes for high productivity, repeatability and lot sizes from small to large. The company serves industries such as mechanical engineering, apparatus engineering, the food and packaging industries, environmental and building technology, electronics, microtechnology as well as laboratory and medical technology, and operates bilingually in French and German.
