Tooling Maker to Expand Manufacturing Capacity in Switzerland

Dec. 28, 2010

Rego-Fix will double its operations area with expansion.

Tooling manufacturer Rego-Fix has broken ground on a new facility at its headquarters in Tenniken, Switzerland.

The new facility will double the companys operations space, according to Rego-Fix.

Despite the recent economic conditions, we have continued to experience increased demand for our precision toolholding products, says Andreas Weber, president of Rego-Fix. Over the past decade, we have completely filled the reserve space that was built into our current facility.

This new expansion reflects the strong growth Rego-Fix has experienced as manufacturers around the world have discovered and embraced our products.
