Holistic approach optimizes processes and tool life
Swiss tool and instrument manufacturer, PB Swiss Tools, and Blaser Swisslube agreed on a collaboration with ambitious goals in early 2019.
By taking a holistic approach under the “Liquid Tool” banner and promoting a change of coolant, the aim was to optimize processes, increase tool life and reduce production costs. A test phase proved very successful, achieving the ambitious goals that had been set. Since then, the collaboration has been expanded to include further production processes.
What started with the production of nose rings for taming oxen in the village blacksmith’s shop in Wasen in Switzerland’s Emmental region, evolved over the years into a global and innovative company synonymous with tools and medical instruments that are unrivalled for their precision and durability: PB Swiss Tools. The tool manufacturer’s history can be traced all the way back to 1878. It has been manufacturing tools since 1940, and medical products since 2013. Today, specialists in more than 80 countries choose PB Swiss Tools when their work needs to meet the highest quality standards. 180 employees in Wasen and Sumiswald manufacture 12 million tools and instruments each year. More than two thirds of these are exported all over the world.
