History

The fascination with stainless steel has held us in its grip for generations. The success story of Suter Inox AG began in 1947 when Alfred Suter Sr. founded the company. Initially, he made stainless steel milk churns for farming operations. In 1952 the factory began to produce stainless steel sinks. With visionary concepts of water centres, later followed by custom-built stainless steel items, the young enterprise established its proficiency in kitchen products. It continues to add innovations and contributes to an increasingly comfortable and sophisticated kitchen culture.

In 1999 the next Suter generation stepped up to the helm. Eveline Stutz-Suter, Alfred Suter and Marco Suter are leading the family business with a passion for innovation and keeping up with the fast-paced changes in customer preferences. They are investing significantly in the manufacturing technology and the company’s ability to compete, as demonstrated by the wide range of successfully launched products and the construction of the new stainless steel manufacturing plant in Schinznach-Bad. Today, Suter Inox AG is a leading provider of stainless steel kitchen products and system solutions for private households.
