Expertise in Stencil Production
Grünig-SignTronic AG, headquartered in Schwarzenburg, Switzerland, develops and manufactures machines and systems for the complete production and processing of screen printing stencils. The portfolio includes stretching machines (G-STRETCH), coating machines (G-COAT), screen washing systems (G-WASH) as well as systems for frame cleaning, drying, inspection and process automation (G-PREP, G-PROOF, G-DRY, G-GATEWAY), complemented by CtS technology from the former SignTronic AG. The company is characterized by a high level of vertical integration: all mechanical parts and welded steel sheet constructions are manufactured in its own production hall (approx. 1600 m², expanded several times since 1978); as are control cabinet construction, software development and final assembly. Since 1967, more than 7000 machines have left the factory; over 95% of the products are exported to more than 50 countries. The target group is screen printing businesses in textile printing, graphic and industrial printing across more than 50 industries.
