A project starts with a personal consultation and analysis of the requirements. This is followed by development, design, toolmaking, prototyping and series production. Throughout the entire process, customers benefit from transparent workflows and a clear project status.

Sustainability is a central component of the corporate strategy. Grütter works on recycling solutions, CO₂-reduced materials and resource-saving processes. The aim is to manufacture durable products with the smallest possible ecological footprint.

Grütter offers various modern processes for processing thermoplastics. These include thermoforming in sheet and roll thermoforming, rotational molding and additive manufacturing (3D printing). This means that the most technically and economically suitable process can be selected for each project.

Thermoforming is particularly suitable for dimensionally stable components, housings, covers or cladding. Plate or roll thermoforming is used depending on the quantity and component size. The process impresses with its good surface quality, high reproducibility and economical series production.

Rotational molding is ideal for large or complex hollow parts with a uniform wall thickness. The process enables seamless, stress-free components and is suitable for both small and medium-sized series. Multi-layer and insulating components can also be produced.

Grütter processes a wide range of thermoplastics. In addition, new materials are constantly being tested, including CO₂-reduced and recycled plastics. The choice of material is always tailored to the function, design and area of application.

Existing CAD data can be easily transferred and further processed. Data is exchanged securely via standard interfaces or online transfer. This allows existing concepts to be efficiently integrated into production.

Yes, Grütter supports projects from the initial idea through design and prototyping to series production. Our designers, developers and production specialists work closely together to realize technically and economically optimal solutions.

The cost-effectiveness depends on the process:
Thermoforming and rotational molding are particularly efficient for medium to large quantities, while additive manufacturing can be used effectively from quantities as low as 1. Grütter provides individual advice on which process is best suited.

Additive manufacturing is particularly useful for prototypes, individual items, small batches or components with very complex geometries. As no tools are required, changes can be implemented quickly and development times can be significantly reduced.
