Alfred H. Schütte, domiciled in Cologne, is a leading, globally operating manufacturer of machine tools. The company builds multi-spindle automatics and 5-axis CNC grinding machines and is represented on all continents by subsidiaries, marketing companies and trading partners. The sales arm of Schütte also offers the German market an extensive range of trading products from foreign machine tool manufacturers.
The company is characterised by a long tradition and strong innovations. Founded in 1880 as a trading firm, Schütte celebrated its 125th anniversary in 2005. The family business is managed by the fourth generation of its founder. Its present managing partner is Carl Martin Welcker, the founder’s great-grandson.
Schütte considers it their duty to ensure that every customer reaps maximum benefits from their machine tool. The requisite foundations for this are laid with a customer-orientated corporate strategy that translates into a multitude of particular, selective measures.
This covers everything from individual product development in close cooperation with the customer, to the provision of an extensive spare parts stock that presently comprises in excess of 400’000 items and extends to machines Schütte built decades ago. Products and manufacturing processes employ cutting-edge production methods and technologies.
The corporate philosophy includes the policies of adapting to market demands and of maintaining viable, strategic alliances with customers and suppliers. Production and services are supported by a pronounced commitment to quality at all levels. The certification of the company according to DIN/ISO 9001:2000 plays an important part in this.
Schütte’s success is based – to a large extent – on the total engagement and extensive know-how of its workforce. This is why Schütte attach such great value to a first-rate education. For years, trainees have made up over 11% of the total number of staff.
The company’s vision is mirrored in the wide range of tailor-made, innovative products and services it provides.
