Discover our Swiss origins and learn how we invented the original ER collet chuck.
Fritz Weber founds the one-man company “Fritz Weber Feinmechanik und Werkzeugbau” in Reigoldswil, Switzerland. A broomholder was the first developed and serially manufactured product. It has shaped the company's history for many years.

The company is growing steadily and has now 15 employees. The construction of a new factory building creates additional workplaces and offers enough room for Fritz Weber's numerous machines.

Fritz Weber's tool making business was successful. Eager to always optimize production and increase efficiency, he invested his profits in the expansion of the machine park.

After the successful cheese cutting machine, the yoghurt bottling machine prooved to be the company's next success. A couple of years later, the company also manufactured bottling machines for gas.

To invent and build machines has always been the great passion of Fritz Weber. In the 1960s, the company's second core business, mechanical engineering, was established.
Convincing quality: the company provided maintaining services for its cheese cutting machines, up to forty years after the first machine was built.
Continuous growth in production and manpower, a stern determination and a truly innovative spirit leads to the invention of the ER collet chuck. The original ER collet chuck took the machining world by storm. With the DIN 6499 standardization twenty years later, the REGO-FIX ER collet became the industry standard. Today, the ER System is still the most used toolholding system worldwide.
“Fritz Weber Feinmechanik und Werkzeugbau” also built test baths for the spray can industry. These baths served as a serial quality control over the tightness of spray cans.
Bottom left: Fritz Weber always lent a helping hand. At that time, there was still no forklift in the company and a finished test bath had to be loaded onto a truck with mere man force.
Since the groundbreaking invention of the ER clamping collet, the company has also developed matching accessories such as toolholders and clamping nuts. Fritz Weber had a keen eye for optimization potential and steadily developed new prototypes that met the growing customer demands.

The new ER collet enjoyed a great popularity and Fritz Weber was a most welcome guest at trade fairs and presentations. In the 1970s, the family began to set up a global sales network.That is when Mr. Takayama became a sales partner for Japan. To this day, Takayama Trading Co. is an important REGO-FIX sales partner.

Fritz Weber was a true entrepreneur at heart. He never missed an opportunity to present his products even in the unlikeliest circumstances.
"Our father was very open-minded and was a real people person. One time he even struck a big business deal on a train on his way home from a trade show." - Stefan Weber, Owner.

At the beginning of the 1980s, REGO-FIX, as one of the first Swiss companies, acquired a CNC 4-axis lathe from Okuma, the renowned Japanese mechanical engineering company. This step was a technological milestone in our innovation timeline.
Left: Again and again new machines were acquired, in order to be able to produce even faster and more precisely.
Fritz Weber was always one step ahead of his time. In 1988, REGO-FIX founded its American branch office and successfully sold Swiss-made REGO-FIX ER collets in the American market.

Fritz Weber and his wife Elsbeth had a big heart for people. Every nock and cranny of their home and the workshop were made available for guest workers and their families. Even today, compassion and social responsibility are core corporate values.
This wooden house was home to the company-owned kindergarten in the 1960s.
A true innovation turns industry standard: The ER collet chuck is standardized with DIN 6499.
Thanks to good business revenue and steady additions to the machine park, the space conditions remained tense. As no further building land could be acquired in Reigoldswil, the company moved to Liestal as an additional production location.
The company headquarters in Reigoldswil has been extended many times.
In 1998, both production sites were put together and new HQ was built in the nearby Tenniken. The production lines could be significantly shortened and the entire production optimized.
The innovative technological accomplishment is reflected in the uniqueness of the tool clamping procedure in a demanding high-precision environment, as well as the persistence of the clamped
toolholder. Thanks to the unique clamping method of the clamping unit PGU 9500, the clamped tools can be used in production quickly and safely.
The clamping unit PGU 9500 won a Red Dot award for
industrial design in 2015. The jury highlights the good usability and outstanding design
of the machine.
The company enters its second generation. The sons of company
founder Fritz Weber take over the REGO-FIX group.

In line with Fritz Weber's tradition, the company continued investing in the machine park and process optimization in the new millenium.

Against all odds: countercyclical investments in modern manufacture processes improve production standards. More than double the production and storage space is now available at the HQ in Tenniken. Thanks to our sustainable architecture, we halved the overall energy consumption.
