Heinz Siegfried AG

January 1
Foundation of the company, Heinz Siegfried Elektrotechnik in Murten, Switzerland.

The first tool-monitoring device, the "Siegfried Monitor, SM3C", is launched.

The product range is complemented by the first tools for strip lubrication.

Inauguration of the new company building in Aarberg.

The "Siegfried Press Processor, SPP 500" is the first device on the market, which significantly reduces conversion costs by means of automatic programming of control inputs. The so-called "auto-set technology" remains unrivalled for decades and is still considered the benchmark in the industry.

Construction of a new company building. Extension of the floor space to 3,100m2.

First talks and beginning of the sustained partnership with the company, Vester Elektronik, in Straubenhardt, Germany.

By means of the newly developed "SMS 100" system, a variety of functions related to the stamping process is realised as a modular system. Similar to the hardware, the software can now also be perfectly tailored according to varied customer requirements.

The success story of the compact, low-cost, minimum-quantity lubrication system, the "Striplube", commences. The device was sold thousandfold and its latest version is still in high demand.

Our tried and tested modular system, marketed as the "Siegfried Advanced System, SAS", is made compatible with Windows computer programmes.
The SAS is the first computer system in the industry, and therefore attracts much attention at its presentation at the EuroBLECH.
The SAS is a huge success from the outset and – due to consistent development over the years – it is presently the central and most important carrier of our product range.

The company founder Heinz Siegfried sells the company to long-time employees Adrian Probst and Klaus Schmid as part of a succession plan.

The "Siegfried Press Processor, SPP 700" is the first device which is based on industrial computer hardware, which Siegfried itself developed and manufactured.
Ever since, own industrial computers are exclusively utilised for our devices, so as to ensure long-term maintenance and spare parts supply.

The SAS is enhanced by a "Press Control" module. It is now possible to realise all press functions and peripherals by means of a single control system.
The system is used for comprehensive solutions in new presses, as well as for the renovation of used machines.

Roland Jost takes Klaus Schmid's seat on the Executive Board upon the latter's retirement.

For the first time, by means of the patented "Lube Cube", we present a completely newly developed SAL lubrication system.
Our extensive experience with modular and computer-based solutions is thus also applied to lubrication systems.

Porting our "Siegfried Advanced Software, SAS" on 64-bit architecture and Windows 10; thereby providing the system with a highly effective long-term basis.

Siegfried AG has been supplying peripheral systems for the stamping industry since 1972. Based on this many years of experience, the SwissPress is the first complete and turnkey servo punching press to be realized.

The continuous development of our products is being pressed ahead without compromise: the LubeCube is fundamentally improved based on the experience of more than 10 years of practical use in the industry. Version 2.0 is launched to the market in summer 2024.

As part of the long-term and sustainable orientation of Heinz Siegfried Ltd., a company succession plan was closed in August 2024. Heinz Siegried Ltd. remains privately owned and independet with Felix Hofer as the new managing director and majority shareholder.
