Welcome to BRUGG Lifting, where innovation and progress have defined our story for decades.
This story starts around 25 years ago, when the belt system 1 extrusion line was first launched. It marked a new era, as the facility was not only the first of its kind but also the foundation for everything that followed.
Next came the belt system 2 line, which changed hands from BRUGG Cables to BRUGG Lifting before eventually being sold to BRUGG Econnect, showing how we have adapted over time.
By then, it was time to take the belt system abroad. In 2015, the belt system 3 was established at our China location, a strategic decision to grow BRUGG Lifting’s presence in that market. This paved the way for the belt system 4 line, also deployed in China for belt production.
Back in Switzerland, BRUGG Lifting continued investing in new production capabilities with the belt system 5 extrusion line, installed in 2019 at the Birr facility. This demonstrated the company’s commitment to continuous modernization and innovation.
The upcoming belt system 6 represents the next stage of BRUGG Lifting’s evolution. Technology for the new extrusion line was delivered by a key partner in April 2024. This was followed by an intensive phase of installation and configuration, during which experts will work on setting up the facility and synchronizing the complex peripheral systems. This process spans weeks, accompanied by a series of tests and fine-tuning, both in hardware and software. All components will be rigorously tested to ensure they meet the requirements. The project will experience a brief interruption to make important adjustments to the transformers. Then, the belt system 6 will finally be operational, and mass production can begin.
But the story doesn’t end there. BRUGG Lifting also plans to advance the industrialization of the new facility, creating new jobs, optimizing work processes, and introducing continuous process improvements. It is an ongoing journey to adapt to changes and seize opportunities that add value for our customers.
