Why Schaeffer AG?
We know what it takes to get things right – and we deliver the parts to make it happen.
Whether it’s a DIY project, a custom build or a one-off production, we manufacture bespoke front panels, enclosures and machined parts that meet the highest standards of quality and precision. With us, you get exactly the components your project requires – fast, accurate and without unnecessary extras. Only need a single piece? No problem – that’s our speciality.
Typical industry challenges:
  • Small production runs are hard to source – or disproportionately expensive
  • Inaccurate drill holes, sharp edges and unstable fits
  • Standard enclosures rarely fit your specific design requirements
  • It should look good – even if it’s just a one-off
  • Access to professional manufacturing often available only to business customers
  • Many projects end up held together with hot glue, tape, and makeshift fixes – even though they could achieve so much more
Our response:
Tight tolerances and high demands on dimensional accuracy, as well as small production runs requiring series-level precision and repeatability
