Scheurer Swiss expands into the UK

The company opens its first foreign branch in the UK with co-founder Robert Tween as branch manager. It also expands its core competence team with an experienced and well-connected consultant in the nautical sector.

The company has more than 30 years of experience in composite engineering in Formula One.

The specialist in the field of fibre composite technology has also been able to demonstrate its expertise in the development of customer-specific composite components made of carbon, glass fibre or other fibre composite materials in numerous well-known projects in other internationally important sectors such as aerospace, defence and security, nautics and industry.

Since March 2019 Scheurer Swiss has also been one of the state-licensed recruitment agencies – since then it has been successfully recruiting, hiring and placing competent specialist personnel in a wide range of fields, particularly in the field of fibre composite technology.

Since the UK is one of the largest and most influential markets in terms of technology and application of composite materials – especially in the areas of motor sports and aerospace – and since there is a correspondingly competent and highly qualified staff available and Scheurer Swiss already successfully serves customers there, establishing Scheurer Swiss in the UK market was a natural step.

The former co-founder, Robert Tween, himself for many years a member of well-known English Formula One motor sport teams such as Jordan, BAR and Tyrrell, will act as a local strategic partner and managing director of the UK branch office abroad, providing the necessary information and contacts for existing and future customers and potential employees, thus contributing to the growth and maintenance of Scheurer Swiss’s already strong customer base.

“We are looking forward to expanding our business in the UK and with the experienced expert for carbon fibre reinforced plastics and long term partner, Robert Tween, we have the best and most competent local representation we can imagine”, emphasises Dominik Scheurer, CEO of the Swiss head office “Scheurer Swiss GmbH”.

Robert Tween, CEO of the newly founded Scheurer Swiss Ltd, added: “We see great potential for our growth strategy in the UK, as the UK market is the stronghold of fibre composite technology and the expertise of the workforce is correspondingly high. With the local branch office we can simplify, strengthen and expand our already successful engineering and placement activities.”

Scheurer Swiss will continue to offer its engineering services and carbon-reinforced 3D printing via the new UK location, but in future will also place employees directly on site and promote the hiring of highly qualified composite workers to Switzerland.
