High production density

We manufacture our lifts ourselves in Lachen SZ. Our own control system and the car lifts are manufactured in Wangen SZ.

History

2017 – Release of the DI06 control unit

In order to achieve greater production depth, we launched the DI06 with our first own circuit boards. This has greater stability and configurability in order to keep the lift running optimally.

2013 - Move to Lachen SZ

In 2013, we relocated our headquarters to Lachen SZ and moved into a state-of-the-art production facility in order to increase our quality and efficiency and modernise our working methods.

2012 - Own control units

In May 2012, we took over the Swiss Lift plant (control construction) in Kleinandelfingen ZH, which produces for Diethelm lifts as well as for export.

This enabled us to start producing our own control systems and develop them further.

2009 – Laser

In 2009, the first laser system was installed by Trumpf with the aim of replacing the plasma system so that the parts could be cut to a high quality.

2006 - First patent

The first patent was applied for in 2006. This gave us the opportunity to make the shaft narrower, which was also designed without a machine room. Another effect of this was to reduce the noise of the lift to a minimum.

1999 - Own production facility

In 1999, the opportunity arose to buy a factory in Vorderthal/SZ, which offered us the chance to start producing lifts. This was gradually optimised and expanded.

The old website, which was in operation until 2008, is attached here as a picture.

1994 - First service contracts

As a second pillar, various service contracts for existing lifts were added to our business model in 1994, which had previously been limited to installation.

1990 - Foundation

In 1990, Hansruedi Diethelm founded the lift company Diethelm Aufzüge AG in Vorderthal, which has been purposefully active in lift construction from the very beginning. In the early years, we installed lifts from various manufacturers.
