About Geiger CyTec
GEIGER Cytec Systems AG is a supplier and service provider specialising in plastics technology, based in Wangen an der Aare, Switzerland. The experts of the Geiger companies have been working since 1972 on optimising workflows and techniques in the field of plastics extrusion and injection moulding. The offering includes services and products relating to material conveying, material drying and dust removal, hot-runner temperature control, and automation for injection moulding machines including robotics and gripper construction. In addition, 3D printing services are offered for small series, prototypes, spare parts, gripper and model making. The products are manufactured to in-house designs, among others entirely from stainless steel 1.4301. A large warehouse and flexible, customer-friendly order processing make the company a business partner for demanding solutions from a single source, with personal consultation and delivery within Switzerland.
