Today
Today the company is in the hands of the 3rd family generation; and the current owners, Christian and Nicolas Beck, have worked closely with their father, Michel Beck (Beck Senior) to develop the company in the past 20 years.
Relocation to Dällikon
In 2024, we celebrated our 90th company anniversary and the relocation to our new site in Dällikon. The new site was specially designed for automation in medical technology in order to meet the increasing demands of this industry. The site in Dällikon offers expanded capacities and state-of-the-art facilities that enable us to further optimize our production and service processes.
Start Medical Automation
Based on our in-depth automation expertise and our many years of experience in the development and production of customer-specific solutions, we decided to enter the medical market. The focus here is on producers of medical consumables that are manufactured using injection molding.
New manufacturing location
On June 29th, we laid the foundation stone for our new plant in Portugal. On 3000 m2 we are building an industrial hall with 1800 m2 of usable space for over 60 employees.
