About

We are a family-owned business with a rich history of innovation, founded in Horgen, Switzerland, back in 1942 by the inventor of the world's first ear clamp, Hans Oetiker. For over 80 years, we have been dedicated to providing peace of mind to our customers by ensuring their mission-critical components are reliably connected. Our expertise lies in developing and producing high-end connecting and assembly solutions, and each year, over two billion of our clamps, straps, rings, and quick connectors are trusted by leading OEMs in the automotive, industrial, medical, and home appliance sectors. You can find our reliable connections in everything from vehicles and medical devices to home appliances and irrigation systems, a testament to our commitment to quality and performance. Our global presence spans across more than 30 countries, with a dedicated team of over 2,000 employees and 13 manufacturing facilities. This extensive network allows us to work closely with our partners, offering comprehensive engineering, prototyping, and testing support to solve any clamping and connecting challenge. At the heart of our global operation is the 'OneOetiker' culture, which is built on a foundation of open, respectful collaboration and strong relationships among our team members. We believe in trusting our employees, giving them the freedom and responsibility to innovate, take on new challenges, and grow their skills. As a privately-held company, we are not driven by short-term gains but by a long-term vision that ensures the sustainable success of our company and the continued satisfaction of our customers worldwide. We are passionate about developing new, sustainable solutions that meet the ever-evolving needs of the industries we serve.
