The innovative Swiss company, a technological trendsetter, is now the world’s market leader for riveting machines

BalTec, which is owned by Swiss group Feintool Gruppe, manufactures high-quality riveting machines, servo presses and press systems. Its most significant business area is radial riveting technology. Manufacturing takes place at company headquarters in Pfäffikon, Switzerland, where about 45 employees work. This is also where market cultivation across the globe is coordinated.

Worldwide customer proximity – one of the firm’s central concerns – is ensured by company branches in Germany, France, the United Kingdom and the United States, as well as through years-long, time-tested collaboration with partners in Europe, North and South America, Asia, Oceania and Africa. No matter where customers are located or where they outsource their production, BalTec is already there for them. Centers of excellence at the various locations work closely together with customers in developing their applications.

The company is making vigorous efforts to ensure that it will remain a technological leader in the future. Wherever high-quality riveting is required, today there is no comparable alternative to BalTec radial riveting technology. It is appropriate even in the case of joints where previously only non-rivet technologies were an option. Contributing heavily to this is a process control system that is unique in the market and that provides precise, materials-appropriate control of the riveting process, thus assuring faultless rivet joints.
