StrangeTec GmbH was founded in 2020 by Roman Vogel (graduate in business information systems) and Marco Bolter (automation technician). Administration is in Haag SG, production in Buchs SG.

What drives us: technical solutions should fit the actual need exactly, not just roughly. We are three people and deliberately set up that way: efficient, highly automated and with short paths.

Anyone who stops improving has stopped being good.
