history
The company was founded in Zug in 1887 as a metal goods factory. The Zug galvanizing plant was founded in 1913.
In 1950 the company launched its first automatic washing machine , which was followed by the launch of its first tumble dryer in 1959 . In 1962, the company launched its first dishwasher .
In 1976 the metal goods factory and the Zug galvanizing plant were merged to form V-Zug AG. Production was gradually moved from the Metalli area to the galvanizing plant.
In 1983, MZ-Immobilien AG started designing the 40,000 square meter area of the metal goods factory in Zug as the client . Construction took place in four stages between 1987 and 1994.
In the 1990s, the corporate group took over various companies abroad and in Switzerland via V-Zug AG, which were later merged to form the Belimed Group, such as Kleindienst-Belimed in Augsburg (Germany) in 1995, and Avenatech, Inc. in Miami (USA ) in 1996 ), 1997 the Netzsch Belimed in Waldkraiburg (Germany) and the Belimed in Grosuplje (Slovenia) and 1999 the Swiss Sauter Group in Sulgen.
