Case Study: Formbar AG achieves major efficiency gains with Tebis Consulting

How Formbar AG got permanently out of the red and firmly established itself on the market with the support of Tebis Consulting

Formbar AG, a Swiss manufacturer of casting models and components for industries like motor sports and aerospace, faced a severe crisis with a 75% drop in turnover as customers outsourced work to low-wage countries. To turn the company around, managing director Kaspar Hürlimann turned to Tebis for help, leveraging their CAD/CAM software and, crucially, their manufacturing consulting service, Tebis Consulting.

Tebis Consulting conducted a thorough analysis and implemented a new market strategy, process optimizations, and greater NC automation with the Tebis software. This included configuring the software to seamlessly import complex files and creating libraries of expert knowledge to streamline programming. As a result, Formbar doubled its machine run times and sales within a year without increasing its workforce, firmly re-establishing itself in the market with greater efficiency and flexibility thanks to Tebis.
