20 years TBM Automation AG Widnau


TBM Automation AG, established in 1991, looks back on its 20th anniversary having achieved a successful documented business history. Our company has since grown over the years from a classical small control engineering enterprise with six employees into a well-known partner for the industrial automation industry with 20 employees. Since the very beginning TBM management has always focused on steady growth and consistently targeted high quality service and customer satisfaction in its mission statement.

"Competence creates confidence" is the mission statement of the Swiss control engineering company TBM Automation. Focusing on the ceramic- and aerospace- industries has been successful from the very beginning of TMB Automation’s foundation.

As part of our history, back in 1992 one of the first process control systems in aircraft turbine production had already been successfully realized after only one year after establishing TBM. As early as 1995, the building up of expertise in motion control had already begun: Namely the control of complex movement sequences required by industrial companies demanding speedy technological development. In the meantime, the motion control area has grown to be one of the core competencies of TBM Automation. Since 2004, the company has been the official distributor for Kollmorgen servo drives and from 2007 the solution partner of the Beckhoff Company.

Today, our company looks back on more than 500 successful projects for customers worldwide. Our customer base covers machinery and plant manufacturers from various industries throughout the world, which we are proud to have served competently and successfully. Therefore, we are assured that our customer base will continue to expand due to our success background in the automation industry.
