Switchon history
Switchon AS is a privately held limited company. Switchon was founded in 2000 by Ragnar Lian and Lars Simonsen and Morten Lindberget as an electromagnetic and electromechanical company. Our starting point was PVDF - sensors design and sale of permanent magnets.
After 2005 we greatly increased our activity and started making tools for the plastic injection industry. In 2006 Switchon AS invested in its own machine shop. We also co-located with Beck Engineering AS at Kalbakken in Oslo where we shared facilities, knowledge and spirit. In the beginning our customers were Kitron ASA, Note Norge AS, Axis Shield, Tomra ASA, HERNIS Scan Systems AS and start-up companies like Dolphiscan AS and OptoSense AS. Later on we have continued with a mix of established and start-up companies, like today, SINTEF, Strømbergs AS, Datek Next AS, Disruptive Technologies and ETN.
We have extended our activity into also having some of our own product-brands, like small Servo’s with high performance and reliability.
