Our company was founded in Basel in 1941 by Christoph Burckhardt and originally manufactured combs for the textile and textile machinery industries.

Over the years, the assortment of pinned accessories has been continuously increased and supplemented with drilled parts. In 1983 we joined with American partners and founded BURCKHARDT AMERICA Inc. in Greensboro (USA), which is today an independent company. Within the last few years we have added the production of other mechanical precision parts, especially for OE spinning and high performance perforation to the manufacture of our pin carriers and drilled accessories.

Our production site in Basel is equipped with the most advanced machines and CNC robots - among them many special machines developed by ourselves. With the support of our highly qualified personnel, we produce a very wide ranging program of accessories. In addition, we are focusing on customers needs, developing new and special designs of machines and precision parts with pins, holes or other execution. Besides, there is cooperation with other firms for special products complementing our program. Our parts are delivered to producers of machinery, textiles, plastics and various others on every continent, not least thanks to the efforts of our numerous agents. Our latest addition to the product range are high performance perforating units as well as fibrillating modules.

Our long tradition of quality workmanship, precision, innovation and dependability enables us to step into the future with inventiveness, dynamism and energy. The name Burckhardt in the third generation guarantees our stability.
