H.Tschudin HTG 400 Grinder

TSHUDIN AG

Two years before the company was founded, in 1945, Hans Rudolf Tschudin worked for Schäublin SA in Bévilard (Switzerland) as a technical draftsman in the design department.
During his career, he noticed that large machines were always being used, even for the production of small parts. He began to explore the idea of ​​developing a concept for more compact machines. Hans Rudolf Tschudin never gave up on the idea: he bought a drawing board and started designing. In the following years, he developed the first prototypes of an external cylindrical grinding machine and founded TSHUDIN AG in 1947.

TSHUDIN grew by taking over the production of centerless grinding machines from Ernst Schäublin (ESO) in Oberdorf (Switzerland) and has today become one of the superpowers of European industry.
