Sales of the SCHURTER Group grew by 11.4 % to CHF 289 million in 2018. The Lucerne family-owned company, which today comprises 22 subsidiaries, achieved a cash flow of 10 % and a profit after tax of 6.1 % of sales.

The SCHURTER Group's constant commitment to investing in state-of-the-art production facilities is of decisive importance for its success. An impressive example of this is the fully automated fuse production at the headquarters in Lucerne, which was further expanded in 2018.

SCHURTER introduces its new RTS. The RTS is a particularly compact overtemperature protection device using advanced SMD technology. It is suited for the highest demands of protection in power semiconductors.

SCHURTER has maintained a development collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA) for many years. Two fuses have already been qualified by the ESA for use in space.
