Our history

Since the founding of ABECO Drucklufttechnik AG in 1994 in Winterthur and the sole proprietorship Zumtech Drucklufttechnik in 1999 in Wil in the Fricktal, our company has stood for individually tailored solutions in compressed air and vacuum technology.

In 2000 the sole proprietorship Zumtech Drucklufttechnik became a public limited company, followed by a move to Brugg in 2006 due to lack of space.

In 2007 Peter Zumsteg took over ABECO, which led to the integration of the service and sales structures of both companies in 2008. The merger to form ABECO + zumtech Drucklufttechnik AG took place in 2010, with headquarters in Brugg and Winterthur, entirely family-owned.

In 2015 we expanded our portfolio in compressed air and vacuum technology by acquiring BARUVAC AG.

In 2017 Peter handed over management to Dominik Zumsteg, marking the occasion with the move into the new company headquarters in Effingen.

Since 2023 we have operated our East branch in Winterthur. Our goal remains to fully meet our customers’ requirements with innovative, economical and environmentally friendly solutions, with customer service always at the centre of what we do.
