Based on decades of experience with customers from a wide variety of industries as well as from research and development, we know how a grinding tool has to be designed for a wide variety of grinding tasks.
The beginnings of our company date back to 1920, when a one-man business was founded, trading in rough diamonds. In 1949, these activities became Haefeli & Co., which began manufacturing precision diamond tools. In 1985, the stock corporation was established which is still being managed by the third generation of the family, the brothers Peter and Rainer Haefeli. The fourth generation with Taro Haefeli is also active in the company.
