10 years of Suisse TP: Outstanding materials expertise in the canton of Schaffhausen

Jul 01, 2021

In 2011, Suisse Technology Partners AG was founded as a result of a management buy-out in the canton of Schaffhausen. Initially, the company focused mainly on materials analyses and component testing. Today, the business is a comprehensive technology service provider for materials issues as well as research and analytics in the pharmaceutical and chemical sectors - and an important location factor for Schaffhausen.

On 1 July 2011, Suisse Technology Partners AG (Suisse TP) began operations on the RhyTech site in Neuhausen am Rheinfall. The company was the result of a management buy-out from the then company 3A Technology and Management (3ATM, formerly Alusuisse and Alcan). The then management team of Robert Sala, Benedikt Moser and Günter Bergmann, with 36 employees and six trainees, took over a large part of the expertise and the associated laboratory equipment of the former 3ATM. This meant that expertise and jobs were retained in the region. Initially, Suisse TP concentrated mainly on material analyses and component testing for the former 3ATM customers.

In the past 10 years, however, Suisse TP has consistently developed from being predominantly a laboratory service provider to an internationally established technology service provider for demanding material issues as well as for contract research and analysis for the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. More than 1,200 customers and business partners have drawn on Suisse TP's expertise since 2011, actively helping to write the company's success story.

"We are pleased that we have been able to accompany Suisse TP on its way to becoming a major centre of excellence for materials technology and pharmaceutical research and development in recent years," says Christoph Schärrer, Official Chief Representative Economic Promotion Canton of Schaffhausen. Thanks to its outstanding research and development competencies, Suisse TP is an important interlocutor in settlement discussions with technology projects. With its services and local commitment, Suisse TP not only strengthens the location, but also enables the continuation of Schaffhausen's materials expertise as an innovator.
