Glutz and Halter cooperate
Solothurn-based Glutz AG, a full-service provider of access systems, and Halter AG in Frutigen will be working together in the future. Glutz is expanding its product portfolio with mechanical locking systems from Halter and now offers integrated mechanical and electronic access solutions, according to the company.
The two traditional Swiss companies Glutz and Holder are pooling their expertise: Halter will manufacture two mechanical products for Glutz. The two new systems, "Glutz mAccess Basic" and "Glutz mAccess Pro", expand the supplier's product portfolio - especially for end-to-end access solutions, the company emphasizes. Halter manufactures these systems specifically for Glutz.
Joint growth strategy
Through the cooperation, the two companies are striving for a joint growth strategy. Hanspeter Halter, CEO of Halter, explains: "The common pursuit of quality and growth as well as a strong drive for innovation unites our companies and forms a good basis for cooperation." Glutz CEO Peter Riedweg and Bruno Räz, Head of Business Development Access Systems, also emphasize the great benefits of the cooperation: "Thanks to the cooperation, we will be able to supply new projects even more comprehensively from a single source in the future and, on the other hand, retrofit current Halter customers with electronic access systems.
The new mechanical products will be launched via Glutz sales channels from August 2015, according to the statement. Halter AG will continue to distribute its mechanical locking systems "First Alpha" and "Norma" independently, it concludes.
