About Werkhalle Schmid AG
Werkhalle Schmid AG is a family-owned business from Schwellbrunn in the Swiss canton of Appenzell Ausserrhoden, specializing in heavy part machining (drilling and milling) and the production of complex welded structures. The service portfolio includes CNC milling and drilling of large components, small part machining with CNC turning including automatic bar loader, manual welding (MIG, MAG, WIG), and robotic welding with up to 2 x 7 t piece weight and 17 m travel distance. Processed materials are steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. The company offers complete manufacturing from a single source—from design-related consulting and planning to surface finishing (polishing, trowaling, phosphating) and Just-in-Time logistics. Customers primarily come from the mechanical engineering industry. Quality assurance is carried out with modern metrology such as laser trackers, measuring arms, and 3D scanners.
