Experts in materials manufacturing and manipulation

Metalworking and plastics company GEORG FISCHER AG has a long history of developing innovative processes and products, having been formed in 1802. Initially, the firm specialized in copper smelting in Switzerland's Mühlental valley, but rapidly branched out into steel. During the nineteenth century, GEORG FISCHER GmbH was also established and opened factories in Austria and Germany, and pioneered services for employees at the company's facilities such as workers pensions, housing and canteens. During the twentieth century the firm expanded into other metal-related fields and into other countries, such as the UK, where it started GEORG FISCHER Ltd, and even ventured into high strength plastics such as PVC. By the 1990s, GEORG FISCHER had a number of core areas, which included plastic piping, manufacturing technology and plant engineering as it moved away from older operations like steel production, but especially famous for GF pipping systems. It also focused more closely on ensuring that its products were produced in a sustainable manner, winning industry prizes for the environmental qualities of its foundry buildings. It has also become a truly global company, with manufacturing and sales facilities on almost every continent, developing a particularly key role in the supply of automobile parts to firms such as Peugeot. GEORGE FISCHER has also become closely involved in global philanthropy programs such as the Clean Water Foundation, which seeks to ensure that people around the world have access to safe, sustainably sourced drinking water.
