Swiss Made
Published: | Grinding News
The theme of the recent STUDER Motion Meeting was “Swiss Made”. The leading grinding technology manufacturer is naturally proud of its tradition of quality, and this is reflected in the range of cutting-edge grinding machines currently available, especially the S23 universal cylindrical grinding machine launched last September at EMO in Hannover. In just a few months, the new model has attracted huge interest across the globe, and this is reflected in Studer’s strong position in the market.
Speaking to the 80+ press representatives gathered at the meeting from all over the world, Fritz Studer AG CEO Sandro Bottazo gave an update of the company’s strong performance in 2025, especially in the Asian and North American markets. The market leader in cylindrical grinding machines continues to benefit a broad range of customers in the aerospace, precision engineering, automotive and its suppliers, medical, tooling, and energy sectors. In 2025, the company added 44 percent new customers, a high market share and orders from 32 countries.
Sales in the North American market are at a record high for 10 years, while there has also been strong growth in Asia, especially in China and India, as well as specific markets in Europe. Studer’s updated portfolio comprises entry-level to high end grinding solutions, while there has been a record growth in service and maintenance.
At the event, the gathered press were treated to a comprehensive presentation on the Studer’s apprenticeship scheme, with an impressive proportion of past students now in key jobs in the company.
The second focus was on the recently launched S23 universal cylindrical grinding machine, with its outstanding features, such as high precision, flexibility and small footprint. Sandro Bottazzo was naturally very positive about the new machine and its capabilities: “Thanks to its high-quality features, precision and flexibility, the S23 complements our portfolio in the entry-level and premium segments,” he explained.
The advantages of the S23 demonstrated at the Motion Meeting included: compact design; distance between centres of 650 mm/1000 mm, 29.6”/39.4” and centre height 175 mm, 6.9”; automatically swiveling wheelhead, B-axis for two external grinding wheels and one internal grinding wheel or a production wheelhead; intuitive operation with C.O.R.E. and StuderWIN; Standardised automation with STUDER easylLoad and insert|Load, as well as customised solutions.
