About Züst Engineering AG
Züst Engineering AG is an independent consulting firm specialising in complex planning and engineering tasks, headquartered in Seegräben in the Canton of Zurich. It was founded in 2010 with the aim of increasingly handling projects in the field of sustainability. The corporation under Art. 620 ff. of the Swiss Code of Obligations provides business consulting services for industry, industry-related sectors and public administration, as well as for NGOs and public institutions. Core competencies include ecodesign as the systematic optimisation of products and services across all life-cycle phases, Lean Six Sigma for improving processes and product quality, modelling and simulation, and systems engineering, a problem-solving methodology developed at ETH Zurich for interdisciplinary teams. A key focus is on energy-efficient production machines, among other things with the company's own tool EEst (Energy Estimation Tool). The company is led by Rainer Züst, former Professor of Industrial Management at ETH Zurich, and works within a network of experts and universities such as ETH Zurich, EPFL Lausanne and Swissmem.
