1. Straumann Holding AG: 1.4 billion CHF turnover

In 1954, engineer Reinhard Straumann founded a research institute of the same name in Waldenburg (BL), which was initially concerned with metallurgical-physical investigations for watchmaking and watch testing equipment. Later, Straumann also experimented with materials in the field of orthopedics and implantology. Straumann AG, founded in 1990, then focused exclusively on dental technology. This evolved into today’s Straumann Group with Straumann Holding as the corporate umbrella. Straumann is a global leader in dental implantology, tooth preservation and regenerative dentistry.

Medartis was founded in 1997 by Thomas Straumann, a grandson of the founder of the Straumann Group. Its purpose was and still is the continuation of the osteosynthesis activities, which were discontinued by the Straumann Group at that time because it wanted to focus only on dental technology.

They enable internal fracture fixation and bone union at fracture sites. Medartis employs around 650 people.
