| 1989 |
Thomas Cahak establishes Acryline AG with 4 employees in Höri and sets the first milestone in the company’s success story. From the very beginning a specialised CNC milling machine was used. |
| 1995 |
Thanks to the great success Acryline AG can expand its team to 15 employees and move to a new site with 1300sqm of production space. Parallely, the machining facilities grow and now include a MAKA 4-axis-CNC-center and a Raskin laser cutting machine. Strategically, Acryline AG extends its competences and focuses also on production of technical plastic components and hereby encloses a sound strategic business segment. |
| 2000 |
With the akquisition of a Mikron 5-axis CNC milling center and a Schaublin 7-axis CNC turning center with driven tools and a y-axis with a 65 mm bar capacity important investments for the following production years are made. |
| 2005 |
Acryline AG moves into today’s location with 3000sqm of production space in Oberglatt, close to Zurich. The machining facilities are continuously expanded to suit the latest developments in plastics technology. |
| 2006 |
That year Acryline invests into a modern SEI Laser cutting machine for computer-controlled cutting and engraving of plastic. |
| 2007 |
With the acquisition of a temper and curing oven which is unique for the swiss plastics industry Acryline can now heat plastic objects up to 3x2 meters in size. |
| 2008 |
Acryline buys one of the most modern computer-controlled cutting machines for the preparation of the plastic blanks. |
| 2011 |
The company expands its machining facilities for further specialisation in high-precision operations with a new Hedelius 5-axis milling center with an 800 roundtable and a flatbed table (1200x600 mm). |
| 2015 |
To secure the unique quality of our plastic products at the end of the production process the company invests in a new MicroVu multisensor measurement system for the optical measuring and quality control. |
| 2016 |
The company's quality and environmental management is successfully certified according to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. Furthermore, Acryline AG acquires the latest model of SEI-Laser Mercury 2030 in order to increase production capacity. Thanks to the most modern laser technology plastic sheets up to 3 to 2 meters can be processed. The most modern software allows for higly precise cutting and engraving. At the end of the year 2016 Acryline AG invests into the future with a new Hedelius 5-axis CNC milling center. The new type Tiltenta 7 allows a wider range of manufacturing dimensions as well as more complexe processes thanks to the integrated tilting head. |
| 2017 |
With the new 5-axis milling center Hedelius RS505 Magnum, Acryline AG presents another novelty in its modern machine park. This milling center has a fixed machine table with a rotating and tilting unit in the workspace, and has a highly dynamic performance, and exceptional precision. With this machine components with a high complexity can be manufactured efficiently in small as well as in large quantities. Furthermore, Acryline invests in a new storage solution with a Paternoster. This allows the storage of technical plastic sheets with dimensions of up to 2 x 1 meters in 85 storage bins. |
