“Introducing: Starrag Group”

Starrag Group – Creative diversity made to order

The Swiss-based Starrag Group cannot be described with a few brief advertising slogans: The Group is a large family of ten completely different brands, each with their own very special features.

However, the ten brands all have some- thing in common: The bulk of our precision machine tools come into being based on specific modules, developed to meet individual requirements through discus- sions with our customers.

“The key message is: precision and efficiency in a nutshell”, explains Prof. Dr. Frank Brinken, Member of the Starrag Group Holding AG Board of Directors, in Rorschacherberg.

For over 150 years of tradition: Precision and efficiency in a nutshell

“Achieving long-term precision and high levels of productivity are key properties for all our machines.” The ten brands that make up the Group hail from all over the world, including Switzerland, Germany, France, Great Britain and India, and all implement this core message in a variety of different ways for companies for a range of sectors. However, while cus- tomers may differ, they all share one thing in common: They all use precision machine tools from the Starrag Group to manufacture components for extremely complex and durable products, not mass-produced goods – from sophisticated luxury watches, ship engines, power plant turbines, aircraft landing gears and steel segments for cable cars to giant propellers for one of the largest submarines in the world.

At the Starrag Group, the production technology required for such applications comes as a result of an extremely high level of vertical integration: All core components required to achieve precision and productivity, such as drives, tool heads and foundations, are developed and manufactured by the Group companies under their own steam.

In going about this process, there is sometimes demand for custom develop- ments – often at the request of the customer – that could not be offered on the market per se. A machine-integrated self-qualification system (SQS) is available as an add-on, for example, which in less than an hour automatically verifies the spatial accuracy of a Droop+Rein portal- type milling machine with fork-type milling head – the process for performing this task manually can take over eight hours. An innovative CO2 air-cooling system also increases productivity in the machining of high-strength materials by 70% and more. This added extra for Starrag machine tools came about as part of a productive collaboration with a renowned German tool manufacturer.

Special features such as these round off an extensive service offering that ranges from virtual machine tools that can provide assistance in generating a new machining solution to correct retrofitting of large machine tools.


Safety for the customer:

  • The Starrag Group develops and manufactures all core components that are important for precision and productivity under its own steam
  • Cooperative efforts with renowned suppliers ensures a sustainable increase in productivity
  • Reduction of downtimes as a result of a large service organisation with services from supplying spare parts to retrofitting
