Stahl Gerlafingen & Avesco AG and CAT: a partnership that drives innovation and builds trust in Swiss industry

For more than 20 years, Stahl Gerlafingen has relied on a strong and trusted partnership with Avesco AG and CAT. What began as a technical collaboration has grown into a long‑standing relationship built on reliability, shared values, and industrial heritage.

At our Gerlafingen site, 2-3 Avesco mechanics are permanently on duty – reinforced by up to six specialists during major revisions – ensuring that our operations run safely and efficiently. Their 24/7/365 on‑call service provides the kind of support only a deeply committed partner can offer.

Today, between 20 and 23 CAT vehicles are in operation across our steel production processes, complemented by three to four emergency power units that secure energy resilience on site.
This week, we had the pleasure of welcoming CAT representatives to Stahl Gerlafingen. Their visit underscored something we are proud of:

Avesco (CAT dealer since 1931 and one of the earliest in Europe) and Stahl Gerlafingen, a Swiss steel producer with deep industrial roots, stand for tradition, innovation, and long‑term commitment.
A partnership like this doesn’t just ensure operational excellence – It strengthens the backbone of Swiss industry.
