Reishauer Corp.Elgin / USAreishauer.com

Swiss Precision Gear Grinding

Cars, aircraft and industrial machinery all require high-accuracy gears for their transmissions. Worldwide, Reishauer gear grinding machines play a major role in the manufacturing process of grinding gears used in such transmissions. Demands placed on these transmissions include the reliable transfer of high torque and power density, low weight and minimal noise emissions.

In spite of its international scope of activities, Reishauer relies on manufacturing its products in Switzerland, a country well known for its tradition of high precision. Hence, all of the core components are made in-house in a factory near Zurich.

Dear Reader,

Welcome to the SABC Business Directory 2014 – 2015 edition, a compilation of the Swiss – American business interests in the US Midwest. We are proud to provide this unique resource as one of many products the SABC produces to strengthen the Swiss American business relationship.

The Swiss – American business relationship is very strong. Switzerland remains the 6th largest foreign investor in the US with a substantial level of investments in manufacturing, food processing, chemicals, and pharma. Swiss FDI in the US is one of the largest of all countries (2010: 1st; 2011; 2nd; 2012: 6th) and Swiss companies consistently offer the highest salaries in the field of research and development in the United States.

Our members are proud contributors to this relationship and continue to support our efforts in promoting this successful bond. We thank our members and sponsors for their continued support that allows us to produce services such as this directory. I encourage all to learn about the SABC and join our mission. Finally I would like to thank Sutharshani Heck for her outstanding work in updating and compiling this edition of the directory.

25+ Years of Growth, Service & Product Innovation in the USA It was at IMTS 1990 that Heinz Kaiser AG’s (Rümlang, Switzerland) new U.S. subsidiary, KPT/KAISER Precision Tooling, first exhibited its product line and made its formal bow to a then record crowd of 116,159. The challenge to the U.S. metalworking industry was, “Bring us your toughest boring problem, and let us tailor a solution to your requirements”.A theme created for the IMTS exhibit, "Swiss Precision, American Ingenuity," helped to create a U.S. identity for the world’s leading producer of precision modular tooling systems. After a new alliance with BIG Daishowa Seiki (Osaka, Japan), other additions to the portfolio, a name change to BIG KAISER Precision Tooling, and 25 years—BIG KAISER will issue the same challenge to the industry at IMTS 2016.www.bigkaiser.com

Become a part of enhancing theSwiss-American Business Community

here in Chicago and the Midwest. Welcome to the Swiss-American Business Council of Chicago! We are proud to be the premiere membership-based business platform representing the strong Swiss-American commercial relations in Chicagoand the Midwest. We serve the communities through business events, social networking, information exchanges, publications and many more efforts.

The SABC hosts 10-15 events per year, ranging from conferences on cutting-edge technologies to social gatherings for various industry sectors. We also host our annual Christmas Dinner and Swiss National Day Celebration, which are favorites among our members. We also co-host events during the year, and offer exclusive and discounted invitations for certain events.

The SABC plans to become a vital coordinator of information resources for the region. A new SABC Business Directory will be published, the leading resource for Swiss and American entities in the Midwest critical to the strong business relationship. Members have exclusive access to participate in this platform. Corporate members are entitled to advertise in our publications and promote their information as well.

A database is the heart and soul of a trade association and we will input substantial resources into the enhancement of ours. We will update and enhance our contacts. In addition, a new initiative to expand our database beyond the Chicagoland area, and into other “Swiss business clusters” within the Midwest will offer new contacts and opportunities. Corporate members can take advantage of the database via the SABC.

With all the new vehicles of communication to our members and friends in Chicago and the Midwest, there will be ample opportunities to promote business, brands and messages through the SABC.

Traditional publications and events offer other effective means of promotions and exposure. We can also offer new, creative ways to access our community for the bene�t of business, including social media. Corporate members are encouraged to work with us to develop relevant initiatives in this area

The SABC is perfectly positioned to act as the “Welcome Mat” to Swiss companies and business people entering the area. We will embark on an initiative to be easily accessible, via the internet, social media, and any other vehicle to be the go-to point for relevant information, and expertise, etc...

Relevant and appropriate special projects will be welcome here at the SABC. We are a unique entity with unique resources and networks around us that can offer special services to our members and non-members alike.

With all these efforts, we are con�dent this will enhance the relevance of the Swiss-American business community in Chicago and the Midwest. There are many opportunities to take advantage of the synergies between the Swiss and the US. Lets work on this together!
