A COMPLETE OFFER IS CREATED

LEITNER AG MILESTONES

1975

Friedrich Leitner, an Austrian citizen, founds a company in Biel for the production of mechanical precision parts. Leitner AG is located on the outskirts of the city, directly by the lake. It employs two people.

1987

Daniel Müller takes over 100% ownership of the company. Together with his wife Andrea, who handles the administration side, Müller leads the company to sustainable growth with great vision.

1989

Acquisition of the first CNC machining center. In order to work in a field resilient to economic cycles, Müller further develops his initial contacts with the medical technology industry. The number of employees grows to seven.

1997

Leitner AG buys an industrial building and moves across the lake to Ipsach. The number of employees grows to over twenty, and two extensions are necessary.

2005

Leitner AG focuses increasingly and ultimately exclusively on medical technology. Daniel Müller completes a postgraduate course in medical technology in order to serve customers as an equal. The company name is now Leitner AG, Medizintechnik. Thanks to excellent quality and outstanding employees, the company succeeds in laying the foundations for long-term relationships with its most renowned customers: Synthes, Stryker, Smith & Nephew, and Zimmer, to name but a few.

2011

Move to Busswil into a new building with 2400 m2 of production and office space. Increase in the number of employees to over 30, where the building capacity was designed for a maximum of 45 employees. The company develops into one of the most important suppliers of surgical instruments in Switzerland. The reasons for this success are a consistent reinvestment of profits, the employment of highly qualified and motivated employees, and in particular the unique selling point of offering a complete range of services, from consulting and production to cleaning and packaging.

Leitner AG, 2011
2016

Daniel and Andrea Müller sell Leitner AG, Medizintechnik to Moser-Baer AG in Sumiswald to ensure an orderly transition for customers and employees. Leitner AG remains legally independent. Both companies maintain close cooperation and mutual support in their respective areas of expertise.

2018

A sensibly timed transition phase begins. Daniel Müller believes that a company can only be successfully managed if the handover is also successful. Thus, Ronnie Hirsbrunner takes over the management. Having worked at the company for 12 years, originally as quality manager, Ronnie Hirsbrunner has experienced the development of the medical technology industry at close quarters and has helped shape the company’s success.

Daniel Müller, however, remains with the company in both an advisory and operational capacity and also serves as a member of the Board of Directors.

2018_v2
2019

Relocation to a second 500 m2 site in neighboring Studen. Organic growth has become inevitable to serve the customer base. Fortunately, a quick solution is found, and the foundations are laid for a new expansion. Between 2018 and 2021, the company grows from 45 to 65 employees.

2023

The existing building in Busswil was extended to include an additional approx. 3000 m2 for production and administration to integrate the infrastructure of the second location in Studen, which was set up as a temporary facility.
