History
[edit]Notz was founded in 1898 by Albert Notz and initially specialised in steel manufacturing for the watch industry. Later the company expanded into various industries and after watchmakers there were clients in the machinery, tool and electronics, automotive and bicycle industry as well as maritime and railroads. In 1993, the company expanded into merchant activities after founding the trading company MAG Metall AG.[5]
The group acquired several specialized companies over the years, such as Laminieres Matthey (2017), Studer-Biennaform (2003), Jacques Allemann SA (2002) and VOCO (2006).[citation needed]
