40 Years of Schneeberger Customized Positioning Systems
Customized advanced motion solutions designed for unique high-tech industry needs.
"Founded in 1923, Schneeberger has long been a leader in precision motion technology, setting the benchmark for customized systems."
Since its founding in 1923, Schneeberger has been a leader in precision motion technology. Following the establishment of the Systems business unit in 1984 — starting from Roggwil, Switzerland — the company expanded to Bedford → Woburn in the USA and, in 2021, to Shenzhen, China. All three plants are dedicated to the development and serial production of customized systems.

A Legacy of Customization
Since the Systems business unit was founded in 1984, the principle has been no standard products, no standard catalog. Every system is designed and manufactured from scratch according to the customer's unique technical specifications — from complete motion platforms (with controllers, AVI systems, vacuum chambers) to individual stages.
Focus on Serial Production
Schneeberger is not an engineering company in the traditional sense — it specializes in serial production of customized solutions. From initial consultation to full production, combining technological leadership with operational excellence to ensure systems perform at the highest level while remaining cost-effective.
