History<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

SMT Swiss Mains was founded in January 2000 as a limited company with the aim of solving challenging problems in various technical fields. Our core areas are measurement and control technology, high-frequency electronics, optical communication, software development and high-voltage technology. We also see ourselves as interdisciplinary developers with an open technical horizon. Complex problems are our passion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We put the latest findings from science and technology into practice. Unsolvable problems are the raw material of our success: we find solutions where others capitulate. From consulting, planning and development to the production of customised devices and systems, we cover the entire product cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set the highest standards! We measure ourselves against internationally recognised top standards in order to meet and even exceed our customers’ expectations at all levels. SMT Swiss Mains has been certified to the ISO 9001 quality management standard since October 2006.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our offices are located in W\u00fcrenlos on the outskirts of Zurich, Switzerland’s economic and scientific metropolis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
