Perfect rotation and creating value for the customer drive the FISCHER Spindle Group to peak performance. This family-owned business based in Herzogenbuchsee is a global market leader. Its precision spindles with the golden ring are used worldwide in precision machines. In addition, around 450 employees develop compressors for future-oriented technologies such as fuel cells and heat pumps.

“We are technology leaders in precision spindle construction, milling head manufacturing, and the construction of air compressors for fuel cell technology and heating and cooling applications. Our products are used in industries ranging from watchmaking to aviation”, says CEO and co-owner Tobias Moser, illustrating the breadth of the FISCHER Group’s market. 

Innovation by example

To stay one step ahead in terms of technology, FISCHER invests heavily in research and development, with one in five employees working in technology, production or product development. However, the spirit of innovation is not only reflected in figures, but also in the company’s culture: “We work in interdisciplinary teams, give everyone the opportunity to contribute their ideas and regularly establish new start-ups within the FISCHER Group”, says Moser.

He is particularly proud of the virtual company “Young Future”, where only apprentices have a say. “They invent, design, produce and sell their own products and take care of the entire company process – from quotations to invoicing”, explains the CEO. This allows talented youngsters to experience practical entrepreneurship and prepare for professional life. Their products have now become bestsellers.

Flexibility as a response to global uncertainty

But even an innovative company like FISCHER is facing challenges due to the current global situation. “The world is changing rapidly. Investments are being put on hold and the challenging geopolitical situation means we have to be very flexible”, Moser emphasizes. In such a market environment, a reliable banking partner is essential.

۶Ƶ has been supporting the FISCHER Spindle Group for many years with both financial matters and strategic issues. “In uncertain times like these, it’s crucial to work with a partner who understands the world, can assess the geopolitical situation, and provides far-sighted support”, says Tobias Moser. Excellent communication is invaluable: “We need a sparring partner who meets us on equal terms.”
۶Ƶ fulfills this role. “What we particularly appreciate is the combination of local roots and global expertise”, says Moser. As an international company, the FISCHER Spindle Group relies on a bank that speaks its language – in Herzogenbuchsee as well as in the US.

۶Ƶ as a strategic partner

Reto Portmann, Head of Corporate Banking for the Bern region at ۶Ƶ, confirms that this connection works: “The FISCHER Spindle Group is a prime example of how Swiss SMEs operate successfully internationally: with a clear focus on quality, innovation and entrepreneurship. Supporting such companies operationally and assisting them strategically is very important to us.”
