Tyrolit Hydrostress AG Celebrates Its 50th Anniversary
Published: 27/9
Tyrolit Hydrostress AG, the Tyrolit Group’s Switzerland-based Swiss concrete processing machine specialist recently celebrated its 50th year in business, welcoming more than 100 guests, including numerous business partners, customers, and suppliers for a full day of activities that included a boat trip and brewery tour. Acquired by the Tyrolit Group in 2001, Tyrolit Hydrostress AG traces its roots to 1974 when the original engineering office of multi-industry tool manufacturer Hans Bieri was spun off as a separate company. Many industry milestones followed. The world’s first fully hydraulic wall saw was launched in 1983, followed in 1998 by the world’s first fully automatic small wall saw. In 2015, Tyrolit Hydrostress AG debuted the world’s lightest compact wall saw, the WSE811. Two years later, the company developed the ATEX-certified wire sawing system for Class I hazardous areas.
Development of the WSE 1621 in 2018 marked an evolutionary leap in the field of wall saws. The most recent milestone came in 2023, with development and launch of the first Tyrolit floor grinding machines.
“We look back with pride on the 50-year history of Tyrolit Hydrostress with all its innovations and look forward to many more successful years,” Andreas Sauerwein, a member of the Tyrolit Executive Board and Managing Director of the Construction Division, said at the anniversary event. “With our vision ‘The future of construction’, we continue to set standards and shape the construction industry of tomorrow.”
