Schweiter Technologies is a traditional Swiss group focused on the machinery business and the recently acquired business unit focused on composites. The group currently consists of the three divisions „SSM Textile Machinery“, „Ismeca Semiconductor“ and „3A Composites".

In the division Textile Machinery, SSM is the leader in yarn processing and precision winding, offering advanced winding systems for a wide application. With the acquisitions of Stähle-Eltex (Air Texturing) and Hacoba Spultechnik (sewing thread) in 1999 our efforts for a continuous development of new fields of business fitted into this strategy. All companies have a clear dominance in the market niches they cover.

The acquisition of  Ismeca in 2000 built up the new division Ismeca Semiconductor. Ismeca Semiconductor has a worldwide leading position and concentrates on machines which are used for backend-processes such as assembly, testing, inspecting and packaging of devices in semiconductor manufacturing.

3A Composites is the global market leader in core materials for sandwich constructions, particularly for use in wind farms. The company is also a leading player in other segments, such as composite panels for high-quality facades and display applications. Its best-known brands are Airex, Alucobond Baltek, Dibond, Forex, Gator, Kapa and Sintra.
