All about Plattner - where do we come from, what keeps us going?
Founded in 1994 by Josef Plattner and his wife Ruth, the focus of our company has been on wire sawing. Josef, a technical engineer with a big heart and a clever mind, invented a way of separating machine and wire guiding unit, which set new standards in wire sawing techniques. In 1998, a partnership with Hilti was established, which is still going strong today.
From the beginning, Josef involved his children in the business and today four of this sons and daughters are leading the company.
Since Josef's death in 2012, his sons David and Florian took over the business, together with loyal and highly competent employees and the continuous cooperation with Hilti, business goes on successfully.

our logo
Sometimes we are asked about the meaning of our logo, as it resembles to the famous Chinese Yin and Yang symbol. Our founder Josef was a harmony-loving person which might have influenced him in the choice of his logo.
In fact, the true meaning of the logo are two intertwined "P"s that stand for "Plattner" and the schematic illustration of a pulley stand, which was one of Josef's main inventions. Its no longer necessary to mount a wire saw to the cutting point. Last but not least, there is the most important tool for the use of our machines, the diamond wire!
The whole of this brought together in harmony is our logo which we have used since 1996!
