About EKOFLEX
EKOFLEX is a Swiss specialist company for industrial frame construction and metal structures based in Gossau SG in Eastern Switzerland. The company develops and manufactures high heat-resistant furnace charge carriers, charging racks and annealing racks for thermal processes and hardening furnaces, taking into account material-specific factors such as distortion and thermal stress in accordance with the technical standards of Swissmem. The value chain includes CAD-supported design in 2D and 3D with collision checking and material flow analysis as well as certified welding work (TIG/MIG) in stainless steel V2A/V4A and special alloys. In addition, EKOFLEX manufactures machine frames, production equipment, transport trolleys and prototypes as custom designs. Customers come from heat treatment, medical technology, the pharmaceutical and food industries and mechanical engineering in Switzerland, Germany and Austria. As an active Swissmem member, the company manufactures according to international ISO quality standards, particularly relevant for the food and pharmaceutical industries.
