Scarce. In English. "Sulzer Brothers Limited, known as Sulzer AG, is a Swiss industrial engineering and manufacturing company with a rich history dating back to the 19th century. Founded in 1834 by Salomon Sulzer-Bernet in Winterthur, Switzerland, the company initially started as a small foundry and machine shop. Over the years, Sulzer expanded its operations, becoming a significant player in various industrial sectors, particularly in machinery, engines, and equipment. By the late 19th century, Sulzer had grown into a major manufacturer of steam engines and pumps, serving industries such as textile manufacturing and power generation. The company's success during this period was driven by innovation and the ability to adapt to the changing needs of industrialization. Sulzer was also a pioneer in the development of diesel engines, contributing to advancements in both maritime and land-based transportation. In the 20th century, Sulzer continued to diversify its product offerings, moving into areas such as medical technology, refrigeration, and turbomachinery. The company played a key role in the development of gas turbines, which became a cornerstone of its business in the post-war era. Sulzer's engineering excellence and commitment to research and development allowed it to maintain a strong position in the global market. The latter half of the 20th century saw Sulzer undergoing significant restructuring and expansion. In the 1990s, the company divested several non-core businesses and focused on its core competencies in industrial machinery and equipment. This period also marked the company's transition into new markets, including pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, where Sulzer established a presence through strategic acquisitions and innovations. / Mechanics, Engines, Diesel Engineering and motor design and service.
