Sateco strengthens Global Supply Chains
Press release from 20.05.2025
Sateco, the Swiss quality leader and globally recognized manufacturer and specialist for high-precision silicone keypads, is expanding both its production and logistics capacities with a new, state-of-the-art production site in the Philippines. With this strategic investment, the company is sustainably strengthening the flexibility and stability of its global supply chain. International customers benefit from additional options and even more targeted adaptation to diverse market requirements.
Sateco has proactively adapted to new global conditions. In late 2022 the construction process for the second production site commenced. Following the successful implementation of all production and quality management processes, production for initial pilot customers started on April 1, 2025.
In the initial phase, the new site will create more than two hundred new jobs. The site also offers significant growth potential: the annual production capacity can be increased by an additional 50 percent compared to the existing volume of 250 million units, optimally preparing the company for rising demand and future market requirements. The close integration of production and logistics/warehousing at the new site creates a new level of responsiveness to market changes. The newly established capacities elevate delivery reliability to a new standard and enable efficient resource management.
"With the production expansion, Sateco significantly gains in agility and resilience: Thanks to our two production sites, we not only enable 'dual sourcing' but also specifically expand manufacturing for the rapidly growing markets in Asia and North America. We can continue to produce reliably in a dynamic market while flexibly responding to any market and customer requirements," explains Dr. Daniel Häfliger, CEO of Sateco.
The expansion not only strengthens Sateco's competitiveness but also opens up promising and dynamic development prospects for the future. With this strategic growth, the silicone keypad manufacturer reinforces its position as a specialist in sensory experiences and underscores its consistent commitment to continuously improving the product experience through the highest quality and ongoing innovation.
