About us

ARCOZ AG has been an owner-managed Swiss company since 1984 and was formed in 2010 from the merger of two partner companies, namely

  • ABS Sondermaschinenbau AG (founded in 1989)
  • and
  • Ruefer Maschinenbau AG (founded 1984)

In 2013, Marco Cozza took over the company as part of the succession plan, having already worked for the company in various roles since 2008.

With the constant expansion of the product range for progressive automation and the increasing international presence, we took the step in 2023 to change our name from ABS-Ruefer AG to ARCOZ AG in order to reflect the development of recent years in the company name.

Today, ARCOZ AG concentrates on the development of an innovative product range, on offering carefully selected products from technologically leading partner companies and on customized services for automation in mechanical engineering.

We maintain partnerships and agencies in other European countries for the sale and servicing of our products. In Switzerland, we also offer complete solutions in special machine construction.

At our headquarters in Bettlach in the canton of Solothurn, we employ qualified and committed staff in the following areas

  • Research & Development
  • Assembly 
  • Software
  • Production & Logistics
  • Marketing & Sales
  • Administration

Get in touch with us. We will be happy to answer your questions and advise you. At our head office in Bettlach, we would also like to invite you to get to know our products and services in our newly designed showroom.

Our philosophy

As a traditionally owner-managed company with roots in the regional watch industry and microtechnology, we value trust and partnership. We attach great importance to this in our dealings with our customers, business partners and our employees.
 
As a living organization, we need consistency and stability just as much as progress and dynamism. We rely on solid experience, are vigilant, invest in further training, diversify with a sense of proportion and grow continuously in line with our capabilities and our environment. Our thoughts and actions are geared towards the long term and sustainability.
 
Automation is our task in which the people involved are at the center of our attention.
 
"We are proud to be a trusted brand."

Our values

Our corporate culture is based on clear principles:

 

Focus on people: We treat all people with appreciation, openness and respect. We think and act as individuals in a team and form a community that pursues a common goal. The joy of our work unites us and inspires us. Our dealings with employees, partners and customers are always characterized by respect and appreciation.

 

Cooperation: Fairness, appreciation and respect characterize our dealings with each other. The well-being of all employees is important to us. We strive together for personal development and value constructive criticism and feedback. Trusting and fair cooperation with our business partners is a matter of course for us.

 

Quality: Quality awareness is anchored in our DNA. We leave nothing to chance in our work. Our customers' satisfaction is our top priority. We deliver excellent work results and continuously develop together with our employees.

 

Profitability: A sustainably positive economic result enables us to achieve our corporate goals in the long term. We take responsibility for our company's success every day and are also committed to sustainable management out of a sense of responsibility towards our environment.
