Bomatec propels business forward with technology-driven solutions

With over two decades of experience in Asia, Bomatec successfully blends Swiss innovation and engineering with Asia's competitive production. Beginning as a trading company set up by brothers Markus and Christoph Bolliger in 1993, Bomatec emerged as one of Europe's leading suppliers of permanent magnets, sensor and drive technologies, with strong networks across the region.

"We work hand-in-hand with our Asian suppliers in producing high-quality products that adhere to Swiss conformity standards at internationally competitive prices," says Markus Bolliger, Bomatec's CEO for the sensors business. 

The company designs and manufactures magnet assembly devices for various segments, such as electrical and electronics, medical and automotive industries, factory automation and wind energy generation. For its sensor technology, Bomatec uses cutting-edge products manufactured by Japanese company Tamagawa Seiki. 

Bomatec is a trusted partner of leading automotive component manufacturers in Europe, with several activities in Switzerland, Canada, Malaysia and China. Operating two in-house test laboratories, its facility in Hori, Switzerland is ISO/TS 16949-certified, and its China subsidiary, Ningbo Kaidong Trading, is certified according to the ISO 9001 quality management system. Having its own laboratories allows the company to work closely with clients from the first sketch to serial manufacturing, and provide support to manufacturers with its comprehensive range of measuring equipment.

Bomatec's China subsidiary also serves as its sales arm in Asia and performs quality assurance for magnets produced locally, which undergo another round of in-depth testing upon shipment to Switzerland. 

In December last year, Bomatec acquired Tokyo Ferrite (Malaysia) - renamed as Bomatec (Malaysia) - its long-standing supply partner for the manufacture of plastic injection moulded magnets in Malaysia.
