About Markus Held AG
Markus Held AG, based in Lotzwil in the canton of Bern, was founded in 1969 and specialises in industrial automation. The company plans, designs and manufactures special-purpose machines, assembly machines and automation elements, including linear motor units (e.g. GLMA 40), linear and gantry axes, grippers, pick-and-place systems as well as pneumatic and electrical elements for automation. The range of services covers project management throughout the entire machine life cycle, engineering, assembly, installation, testing, pre-acceptance at its own plant, commissioning and training of customer personnel. In special-purpose machine building, the company produces among other things servo automation devices such as filling, measuring and alignment devices, for example for cylindrical rollers. Customers come from industries such as automotive, industrial automation, mechanical engineering, plastics and rubber, and the watch industry; named partners include Güdel, Althaus, HSH and Reconda AG. Manufacturing takes place at the headquarters in Lotzwil; the company exports to Western Europe, North and South America.
