About Colin Swiss
COLIN SWISS AG, based in Burgdorf, Switzerland, develops and manufactures heat exchangers, valves, apparatus and vessels as well as turnkey system solutions for steam and process heat systems. The product portfolio includes shell-and-tube heat exchangers in vertical and horizontal design (U-tube, spiral tube, straight tube, helical-wound tube), modular heat exchangers with spiral-finned tube, brazed, welded and gasketed plate heat exchangers as well as clean steam generators, condensate collection systems and pre-assembled steam delivery stations. Manufacturing takes place in the company's own workshop for apparatus and vessel construction with welding and shell-and-tube fabrication; materials include carbon steel, St35.8I, copper and stainless steels such as 1.4571, 1.4401 and 1.4435. Manufacture and testing are carried out in accordance with the Pressure Equipment Directive PED 2014/68/EU and the AD 2000 code of practice. Customers include the food industry, large commercial laundries, airport fuelling facilities as well as heating and process heat systems. In addition, the company offers valve overhauls, steam trap measurements, training, consulting and on-site commissioning. Since May 2022, Colin Swiss AG has been part of the globally active ARI Group.
