The SAUTER EDELSTAHL AG was established on 13 May 1977 and is a 100%-owned subsidiary of BIBUS HOLDING AG. The company is a leading service company for aluminum and stainless steels - plates, sheets, tubes, bars, fittings and valves foods - in Switzerland. In the office Fehraltorf (Zurcher Oberland) and the Logistics Center Birsfelden (near Basle) are a total of 55 employees.

As the first Swiss steel trading company SAUTER EDELSTAHL AG was certified according to ISO 9001:2000 in 1989. Our stock now includes an area of more than 13,000 square meters and over 4,000 tons of stainless steel and aluminum products. Different initial processing options are available. Our offer is product-oriented by trained specialists.

BIBUS METALS AG was founded in 1979 after becoming the exclusive distributor for Special Metals Corporation¹ in Switzerland and Austria. Headquartered in Fehraltorf near Zurich, we also maintain a large warehouse in Birsfelden / Basle. BIBUS METALS AG belongs to the BIBUS HOLDING AG.

Right from the start BIBUS METALS AG built and expanded the warehouse for large stocks of rods, bars, sheets, plates, tubes, pipes, wire, strip and welding material so that it rapidly became the foremost deliverer for heat and corrosion resistant materials. The integrated Service Centre offers customers reliable and rapid service. In order to enlarge its portfolio BIBUS METALS AG has added in the early nineties Titanium and Titanium Alloys to its already extensive range of products.

In 2000 BIBUS METALS AG became the exclusive Special Metals distributor for all Eastern European countries. Today BIBUS METALS has offices and warehouses in Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria. A further office has been opened at the beginning of 2006 in the Ukraine, followed by subsidiaries in Russia (2007) and China (2008).

As a supplier of nickel- and titanium alloys, quality has always been of great concern to us. We took the challenge in August 1994 and required the ISO 9001 acc. to the rules of the Swiss Association for Quality and Management Systems. All our material is purchased, stocked and controlled according to these rules. We guarantee re-pursuit over a period of 12 years and accomplish the requirements of product liability.

¹Special Metals Corporation is the world’s leading developer and manufacturer of nickel alloys with production plants in the U.S.A. and Great Britain.
