SSM – Combined Power of Over 300 Years of Experience
In the combined over 300-year-old tradition of the Schärer, Schweiter and Mettler companies, which merged in 1989 to become SSM, the commitment to textile machinery and facilities for yarn processing has always been exceptional. In 1999, two other companies inspired by tradition joined the SSM Group. Stähle-Eltex GmbH and SSM merged to develop air texturing technology and to strengthen their leadership position in the marketplace. And, with HACOBA as partner, SSM is able to offer a complete range of sewing thread finishing machines. In 2012, SSM Schärer Schweiter Mettler AG, has taken over the activities of Giudici S.p.A., Galbiate (Italy). Giudici’s strong market position in the field of false-twist texturing of high quality fine count nylon yarn, will further expand SSM’s business in the chemical fiber processing industry.

On June 30, 2017, Rieter Group acquired the SSM Textile Machinery Division (SSM) from Schweiter Technologies AG, Horgen (Switzerland).
Although people, markets, technologies and fashion are subject to continuous change, at the center of SSM activities is the endeavor to deliver top products and best solutions for any new demand: that is why SSM customers can rely on a worldwide service network.
