120 Years of Steinemann Group

A Legacy Built on Innovation and Trust

This month, the Steinemann Group celebrated a remarkable milestone - 120 years since Georg Steinemann founded the company in 1906 in Flawil, Switzerland. What began as a humble horseshoe and wagon forge has grown into a dynamic, internationally active holding group with trading and production companies across multiple industries.
On June 5th, 2026, employees, partners, and friends gathered to mark this special occasion. Hansjörg Steinemann, third-generation owner, set the tone with words that opened and closed his speech - a phrase that captures the spirit of the Group perfectly:
«Was bleiben soll, muss sich ändern. Und wir nehmen Herausforderungen an.» ("What is meant to last must change. And we embrace challenges.")
Over twelve decades, the Steinemann Group has consistently evolved - embracing new technologies, expanding into new markets, and building lasting partnerships rooted in reliability and quality. Today, the group stands as proof that a strong foundation and a forward-looking mindset can carry a company through generations of change.
Among the Group's family of companies, Steinemann Disinfection carries this legacy into the world of hygiene and infection prevention. As part of the CleanService Group AG, Steinemann Disinfection develops and distributes automated disinfection systems designed for demanding professional environments - from healthcare facilities to high-hygiene industrial settings. The same values that have defined the Steinemann Group for 120 years - precision, dependability, and innovation - are at the heart of every solution we bring to our customers.
As we look back with pride on this milestone, we also look forward with enthusiasm. The anniversary is not just a celebration of the past - it is a commitment to the next chapter.
