About Hans Sturzenegger AG
Hans Sturzenegger AG is a family business founded in 1959, now in its third generation, headquartered in Wangen-Brüttisellen in the canton of Zurich. Originally started as a car spray painting shop in Dübendorf, the operation was converted to industrial painting at an early stage. Today the company offers powder coating for metal, plastic and glass as well as wet painting in 1-K and 2-K systems, including chemical- and abrasion-resistant and electrically conductive or insulating functional coatings. The range is complemented by chrome-free chemical pretreatment (Alodine 160/400) for aluminium, steel, castings and non-ferrous metals as well as sandblasting, grinding, millimetre-precise masking and partial pre-assembly. Its customers come from industry, architecture and design; reference customers include, among others, Amag, Siemens, Mettler-Toledo and RUAG. Quality assurance includes 100% visual inspection, coating thickness measurement, cross-cut, colour and adhesion testing with documentation.
