Founded in Malans, Switzerland in 2003, Profatec AG has been providing specialist, moulded plastics solutions to industries ranging from automotive to pharmaceuticals for well over a decade.
When the time came to expand the size and capabilities of the business, the company was faced with a difficult decision. In 2007, it would incorporate injection molding into its offering, boosting its ambitions and profitability.
Typically, the need for more space and staff for manufacturing would see companies like Profatec turn to the Asian market for a low-cost solution, but instead this classical Swiss company turned to Universal Robots for an automated answer that would allow it to keep its home grown business flourishing in its own country.
