Company anniversary: August Manser AG celebrates its 50th anniversary
From a small one-man operation to a modern high-tech company with around 100 employees - the development of August Manser AG over the past 50 years is remarkable. And yet the family business has always remained true to its values.
On June 1, 1972, August Manser lays the foundation stone for today's August Manser AG in Altstätten, Canton St.Gallen, when he establishes a sole proprietorship under his own name. Two years later, the first precision mechanic takes up his work and the company develops over time into a stable, innovative family business.
Innovative family business in 2nd generation
Today, August Manser AG describes itself as a leading service company for mechanical and mechatronic systems and services. The company's wide-ranging clientele finds a competent, creative and long-term partner in the modern high-tech operation: from innovation and product development through industrialization and precision manufacturing to the assembly of subassemblies and systems. Since 2019, Michael Manser has been managing the family business in the second generation. "We are an innovative family business. Our most important success factor is our employees," says Michael Manser, "In a future-oriented working environment with training and development opportunities, we work together, with enthusiasm, on our customers' products. Through the networking of innovative ideas, knowledge and new technologies, sophisticated solutions are generated every day. Together with our employees, we continue to develop as a company, because you can only build sustainable success on a strong foundation."
The recipes for success of August Manser AG
Thanks to qualified employees and a future-oriented infrastructure, it is possible to meet increasing customer requirements and the highest quality standards, the company writes. August Manser AG is therefore constantly modernizing its machinery, relying on new technologies and innovative ideas. Today, the company employs about 100 people at two locations in Altstätten; since 1980, it has also been training polymechanics. Manser has thus become an important economic pillar of the region, with an impact far beyond the St.Gallen Rhine Valley. It is also striking that the company employs many long-serving employees, which speaks for the continuing attractiveness of the jobs. In February 2022, Michael Manser was able to congratulate six employees on a total of 140 years with the company.
The Manser Group includes the companies Sedax AG, InLack AG and admantec AG with a total of 50 employees.
