Collaboration with research partners, academic institutions and students

Family Business and Collaboration

At BAUMANN, we believe that the key to sustainable success and innovation lies in robust collaboration with leading academic institutions, research partners, and ambitious students. As a fifth-generation family business specializing in the production of springs, stampings, and bendings for the automotive, industrial, and medical sectors, we are deeply committed to pushing the boundaries of our industry through cutting-edge research and development.

Family Business and Innovation

To make sure that we stay at the forefront of technological progress and that we continuously improve our products and processes, we actively engage with universities and research organizations. Together we explore advancements in various fields such as material science, production methodologies, digitalization, business models, and sustainability. Furthermore, we also recognize the importance of nurturing the next generation of engineers, scientists, and business leaders. By collaborating with students on research projects and thesis work, we provide them with valuable real-world experience while benefiting from their fresh perspectives and innovative ideas.

Partnering with BAUMANN means more than just collaboration

Rooted in Switzerland, our core values reflect Swiss quality and pride. However, we have grown into a global company with 9 locations across three continents, supported by a diverse and multicultural workforce. This international presence ensures that BAUMANN employees are quality-focused, motivated, and open-minded, thriving in a competitive global market. We also believe in the power of teamwork, celebrating our successes together, consistently and for the long-term benefit of our customers.

Collaborating with academic institutions and students is vital for our innovation and growth. Their fresh perspectives and research-driven contribution help us push the boundaries of what's possible in spring, stamping, and bending technologies.
