Stäubli was founded in Horgen, Switzerland in 1892 as "Schelling & Stäubli" by Rudolph Schelling and Hermann Stäubli as a workshop specialized in producing dobbies.[3][4] In 1909, the company opened a new manufacturing site in Faverges, Haute-Savoie, France. After the death of Rudolph Schelling in the same year, the company was renamed to "Gebrüder Stäubli" ("Stäubli Bros.")
In 1956, the company diversified its line of products into the field of hydraulics and pneumatics and commenced the production of rapid action couplings. The Connectors' division was born. In 1969, they acquired the German dobby producer Erich Trumpelt (founded 1954 in Bayreuth) and changed the company name to "Stäubli & Trumpelt". In 1982 the company diversified again, this time into automation and robotics. In 1983, they acquired French competitor Verdol SA and established "Stäubli - Verdol SARL" in Lyon-Chassieu, France.[5]
In 1989, Stäubli took over American competitor Unimation from Westinghouse, including their British division located in Telford, UK.[1] In 1994, they took over Zellweger Weaving Systems in Sargans, Switzerland. In 2002 Stäubli acquired a majority stake in Multi-Contact, a leading provider of electrical connectors, which became "Stäubli Electrical Connectors" in 2017. In 2004, they acquired German competitor Bosch Rexroth's robotics division and incorporated their products into their own product line.[6][7] In 2007 the Stäubli Group acquired a stake in the Italian electronic engineering company DEIMO.
Since its foundation in 1892, Stäubli has expanded into four different lines of products and services
With a workforce of 6,000, the Stäubli Group generates a yearly turnover of 1.6 billion Swiss francs (CHF). The company has 15 industrial production sites as well as presence through business units and agents in 50 countries. Production sites include the following: Allschwil; Bayreuth; Carate Brianza; Chemnitz; Duncan, South Carolina; Essen; Faverges; Hangzhou; Hésingue; Lyon; Sargans; and Weil am Rhein.
