Hauser - Kellenberger Switzerland AG

The name HAUSER has stood for precision engineering in coordinate grinding for more than 110 years. Founded in 1898 by Swiss engineer Henri Hauser, the HAUSER brand remains synonymous with the accuracy and quality standards that are indispensable across various industries.

Coordinate grinding machines are primarily used for the most demanding machining tasks in die and mold making, as well as for highly precise components in optical devices or specialized fine mechanical applications. They are essential wherever bores and shapes with the highest surface quality and tolerances in the low µm range are required. Coordinate grinding ensures extremely precise form and positional tolerances.

Additionally, the powerful WHITE Solution software is available on HAUSER coordinate grinding machines. This innovative software optimizes the grinding process, increases efficiency, and enables maximum precision in machining—perfectly tailored to the demands of the most challenging applications.

As part of the Kellenberger Technology Group, the HAUSER brand benefits from the group’s innovative strength, which also extends to the KELLENBERGER, VOUMARD, TSCHUDIN, USACH, and SUPER-PRECISION brands. This ensures continuous technological advancements that drive each brand forward in its core area and secure its market leadership.

HISTORY

The beginnings: HAUSER was founded in 1898 by Henri Hauser in Biel, Switzerland. Henri Hauser was an entrepreneur from Richterswil who specialized in the manufacture of precision machines.

Early innovations: In the early years, HAUSER focused on models for boring and template grinding. The company was also known for its specialized equipment and tools for the watchmaking and mechanical instrument industries.

Diversification: Around 1910, HAUSER expanded its product portfolio to include stone cutting machines, lever milling machines and finishing lathes. This diversification laid the foundation for a long tradition of innovation.

Upswing and international recognition: HAUSER introduced universal milling machines in 1939, followed later by coordinate drilling and boring machines. These developments enabled HAUSER to establish itself on the market for high-precision machines.

Mergers and expansion: In 1992, HAUSER merged with Tripet AG, which had launched the world’s first surface grinding machine in 1925. Two years later, Hauser-Tripet AG merged with Tschudin Technologies to form Hauser-Tripet-Tschudin (HTT).

Modern developments: Today, HAUSER is part of the Kellenberger Technology Group and benefits from the Group’s innovative strength and resources. The introduction of the powerful WHITE Solution software on the HAUSER jig grinding machines is an example of continuous technological development.
