History

With the development of VS57, Paul Heinrich Koller and Hans Heinrich Waibel laid the foundations for our current company 57 years ago. After taking over their father's business and 20 years of experience in the industry, Hanspeter Waibel and Franco Gandini founded today's company HAMOTEC AG on 11 February 2003.
Hamotec AG started out in 2003 in a 66 square metre garage on Sägestrasse in Dielsdorf. The company and its more than twenty employees now occupy an area almost twenty times larger on Ruchwiesenstrasse in Dielsdorf, where HAMOTEC has been based since 2006.

 

Solid, sustainable growth:

It came about because the two-member management team of Hanspeter Waibel and Franco Gandini saw themselves as the "go-to guys", especially in the founding years. They therefore know every facet of the curtain profile business and have a pronounced down-to-earth attitude that has accompanied all growth steps. Our vision sets our direction and our goal. It confirms our claim to be among the market leaders in everything we do. It is the foundation for a company with shared values. Our vision and values guide us in all the decisions we make in our day-to-day work. They stand for themselves and they suit HAMOTEC because they define our corporate culture.
