A new Swiss industrial group, Horatec, has officially been launched. It brings together three highly specialised companies – Steiger Galvanotechnique (Châtel-Saint-Denis), Stila (La Chaux-de-Fonds) and Titanium Engineering (Yverdon) – around a joint project led by three experienced entrepreneurs: Olivier Piotrowski (CEO), Stephan Müller (CFO) and Ivo Cramez (CEO of Stila).
Horatec is not simply an industrial or financial operation. It is the culmination of a project based on trust between entrepreneurs united by a shared industrial vision. In contact for more than ten years, Olivier Piotrowski and Stephan Müller have been developing this project for a long time. Together with Ivo Cramez, they decided to join forces to create a structure that is solid, agile and resolutely human, while respecting each entity’s identity.
The Horatec group is based on an original model: preserving the autonomy and culture of each company while pooling key resources to increase efficiency and innovation capacity. Each of the three companies continues to operate independently, with its own teams, name and customer commitments unchanged.
With cumulative turnover of between CHF 22 and 25 million, Horatec aims to position itself as a key player in Swiss high precision, capable of working on complex, multi-technology projects that require a high level of responsiveness. Development prospects include new certifications, expansion into new target markets (medical, aerospace, luxury goods) and the gradual gradual short- or medium-term integration of other companies that share the same vision.
