WHO WE ARE

With its headquarters in Pfäffikon, Switzerland, the BalTec Group sees its core competence in the manufacturing of joining technology machinery, with a special focus on radial riveting technology, but also orbital riveting, roller forming and pressing. As early as 1968, BalTec (then still known as Bräcker that coined the term "brackering") had already made radial riveting technology a familiar process in a variety of different industries. Today we are the global leader in joining technology, encompassing seven companies with over 60 direct employees and 40 sales and service partners on every continent.

Over fourtyfive thousand machines have been sold worldwide since 1968, and most of them are still in operation today. We manufacture all machines entirely in Switzerland, which ensures excellent quality and reliability. This is just a significant figure. Above all, we are very proud of our long-time relations with customers and partners.

We support plant manufacturers and customers in both testing and service centers all around the world when it comes to determining the best joining technology or during integration of machines. This close personal support is provided by BalTec employees or our trained representatives.

Refining and advancing existing technologies, as well as developing new possibilities, is paramount for BalTec to be able to provide you with the best possible solution.
