Stäubli International AG is an international Swiss technology group. The main activities are divided into the three areas of textile machines, quick coupling systems and industrial robots.
The company employs 5500 people worldwide.

history
Stäubli was founded in 1892 by Hermann Stäubli (1867–1940) and Rudolf Schelling under the name Schelling & Stäubli as a repair shop for textile machines in Horgen on Lake Zurich. In 1893, the first was Dobby (Rattieren) delivered as self-construction.
In 1896 32 employees moved into their own company building at today's location (Stäubli Areal West) in Horgen, which was expanded in 1899 and 1937. In the same year, the first dobby that worked correctly to the shot was produced with a wooden card control. The first dobby with paper card reading followed in 1900. After Rudolf Schelling's death in 1906, his brother Robert Stäubli joined the renamed Gebrüder Stäubli company as a partner. The first counter-pull machine for sample cards made of wood is created. The first two-cylinder paper card dobby and the first name weaving machine were made in 1937. In 1955, the first counter-pull machine followed, with no functional play.
In 1943 the four textile machine factories Grob , Schweiter , Stäubli and Vollenweider merged to form the sales and advertising association “Die 4 von Horgen” in order to master the difficulties caused by the war and to be able to maintain their independence.
From the 1950s the company expanded: in 1966 the quick-release coupling (pressure bolt principle) was launched to manufacture hydraulic and pneumatic applications. In 1971 the first backlash-free rotary dobby machine in a monoblock housing with an oil bath was created.
In 1982 there was a collaboration with the US robot manufacturer Unimation and the automatic and robotics department was founded .
In 1983 the jacquard machine production was taken over by the Verdol company founded in Lyon in 1883. The first electronically controlled rotary dobby with programming system comes onto the market and in 1987 the first electronic jacquard machine, which replaced the punch card system.
After various acquisitions (1993 Tec-Sem AG, 1994 weaving preparation systems from Zellweger Uster AG), the Swiss connector manufacturer Multi-Contact joined the group in 2002 and the electronics company DEIMO in 2007. The headquarters of Stäubli International and Stäubli Holding AG are in Pfäffikon SZ and sales and customer service for quick-release couplings and robotics are in Horgen.
On the former factory site of Stäubli AG in Horgen, the Allreal company built a total of five residential and commercial buildings with a total of 131 apartments by 2014.
