SCHMIZO AG – founded in 1949 and owner-managed ever since. This history is a commitment to consistency and reliability. At the same time, we also see this as an obligation for the future.
Our strength lies in an above-average quality standard in the development and manufacture of customized glass equipment and apparatus. Direct contact with our customers in research, pharmaceuticals and industry is extremely important to us.
Our basis consists of a professionally broadly supported team of employees. We train our own apprentices, but can also rely on specialists with over 30 years of professional experience.
As a flexible partner, in addition to our expertise in the craft of technical glassblowing, we have an extensive range of machinery for the mechanical precision processing of borosilicate glass.
Our team
In our workshop, it’s not just the glass that glows – the employees are also on fire for the business. We maintain a family-like relationship among ourselves, which can also be seen in the craftsmanship. In addition to large machines, there is just as much room in the room for teamwork as there is for high concentration during precise manual work on the glass. Our wide-ranging team thrives on many years of experience and young talent.
