About AST Schweiz
AST Schweiz GmbH, based in Teufenthal (AG), is a partner and specialist for central lubrication systems, automatic fire suppression systems and fire extinguishing systems, hydraulics and piping technology, as well as workshop and garage equipment. The company handles planning, provision, installation, commissioning and service of lubrication and fire protection systems for machines and vehicles of all kinds. Together with partners, AST Schweiz can look back on more than 50 years of experience in lubrication and fire protection technology. The portfolio includes progressive, dual-line and volumetric lubrication systems, minimum quantity lubrication (MQL/MQCL), oil-air lubrication systems for high-frequency spindles as well as resistive lubrication systems. For fire protection, systems for construction machinery, CNC machining machines and wind turbines are offered in accordance with standards such as UNECE R107, SPCR 183, SPCR 197 and SPCR 199. Customers come from industries such as mechanical engineering, plant engineering, automation, vehicle manufacturing, conveying technology, the food industry, the pharmaceutical industry and public transport.
