Schmetz, the needle company

Our path has been lined by top achievements since 1851

Much has changed since Ferd. Schmetz GmbH was established, but not our top priority - to offer every customer the best needle with the best service on the most economical terms.

Visionary ideas and numerous innovations, as well as close contact with the sewing industry and constant adjustment to dynamically changing markets, have made our family business the world's No. 1 needle manufacturer.

Innovative production technologies and up-to-the minute products alone are no guarantee for success. The real quality of a product is only decided by the service that goes with it.

As the world's No. 1, we can also offer something unique in this respect - service which never leaves you on your own:

We offer you support -
Our constantly updated product catalogue, available on CD-ROM, in the Internet (http://www.schmetz.com) or on paper, supports you at all times in answering fundamental questions about every aspect of sewing and helps you to find the right needle for your individual purposes from among the host of products.

We offer you proximity -
Schmetz is represented by Schmetz branch offices and dealers at all important processing sites around the world and offers you a production-oriented delivery service, as well as "first-aid" for topical problems.

We offer you advice -
As ever, our Schmetz Centre for Application Technology is at hand to assist sewing businesses from all corners of the earth with its advice. If new technologies and materials place new demands on sewing, we are there to help you.

Schmetz has set itself the aim of exceeding the high expectations of our customers day after day.

This what I, my family and the whole Schmetz team stand for.
