Successful start to the year – best quarter in company history

The Bossard Group achieved broad-based sales and profit growth well above average and concluded the first quarter of 2018 with its best performance ever. Bossard decided on this early publication after market uncertainty began to spread in connection with a major Bossard customer in the US electric vehicle sector. In particular, we would like to clarify that the bolts in the power steering component affected by a recall were not supplied by Bossard. As reported by the media, the manufacturer of the affected component has accepted responsibility.

Marked sales and profit growth – record profitability

The Bossard Group is entering with three partners the emerging market of 3D printing. Together with its subsidiary KVT-Fastening, Bossard will present three different technologies at the Additive Manufacturing Expo in Lucerne from March 6 to 7, 2018. Cooperation partners for the Swiss market include TRUMPF (laser metal fusion), German RepRap (fused filament fabrication) and Henkel (stereolithography). These partnerships will allow Bossard to sell 3D industrial printers and related consumables (metal powder, filaments, etc.). Bossard will also act as a partner in consulting customers up to designing complex parts for 3D printing.
