RERO AG
- A long time ago ...
... in 1876, a gilder by the name of Voirol had established himself in Waldenburg, with whom Heinrich “Heiri” Tschopp was apprenticed. Heiri also followed him to western Switzerland – the heart of the watchmaking industry at the time.
Time and again, the then rapidly developing Thommen watch factory approached Heiri and urged him to come back to Waldenburg after all and set up a gilding workshop for the watch factory there. Eventually, Heiri and his family packed up their belongings to move back to Waldenburg.
This is how the foundation stone of today's RERO AG was laid in Waldenburg in 1882, and it was through watch gilding that precision and customer proximity became part of RERO's DNA.
Today, RERO employs almost 100 people from 16 different nations and has been managed by the fifth generation of the family since 2015.
Since then, many goals have been achieved: The machinery facilities were enlarged and modernised and the existing company building was generously extended. Water consumption has been reduced by 50%. A separate medical technology line has been created and certified. RERO has advanced digitalisation and Industry 4.0 in its operations with the introduction of a modern ERP system.
As a result, today RERO AG is more modern and successful than ever before and one step closer to its vision to be THE electroplating company in Switzerland – solidifying the company as the best partner for surface processing.
