Company Performance Metrics
Since 1883, Stamfag AG has been successfully producing puncture-piercing knives for the production of wet-strength paper, plastic and aluminum labels, playing cards and credit cards as well as many other materials. It has become a world leader in these areas.
About 20 years ago, Stamfag AG launched a revolutionary punching knife. The newly
developed punching knife brought the customer a multiple of punching performance with the highest accuracy and optimum service friendliness. The experts recognize this punching knife as "the original" consisting of a knife body and a cutting crown.
In order to guarantee the continued existence of the company with this great know-how, Stamfag AG was sold in January 2011 to the company Leuthold Mechanik AG (HLM). This resulted in a change of domicile from Küsnacht to Einsiedeln. The development and production of the punching knives thus remains 100% in Switzerland.
Leuthold Mechanik AG, founded by the majority shareholder, Heinz Leuthold, in 1978, is the global market leader in the construction of tools and equipment for the aluminum packaging industry. With its state-of-the-art machinery, HLM manufactures the most demanding customer solutions in the areas of machine, apparatus and toolmaking.
For HLM Stamfag is a meaningful and logical extension of a prospering market segment. Thanks to the consistent use of existing synergies, the medium and long-term goals of the two companies can be achieved even better.
