High-precision machine tools for aerospace, energy, and transportation manufacturing
Starrag manufactures CNC machine tools (milling, turning, grinding, boring) for aerospace and industrial customers, built on a stack of SAP, C++, C#, and industrial protocols (MQTT, OPC UA, PROFINET). Active hiring is concentrated in engineering (23 open roles) and support (16), with an accelerating velocity — a pattern that reflects both retrofit and service deployment projects underway, plus stated pain points around expanding the service team and aerospace competence center. The company is actively working on digitalization of machining processes and Industrie 4.0 integration (IPS modules), indicating a shift toward connected, software-enabled tooling rather than standalone hardware.
Starrag is a publicly traded Swiss manufacturer of high-precision machine tools headquartered in Rorschach, with production facilities in Switzerland, Germany, France, the UK, and India. The company sells primarily to aerospace, energy, transportation, micromechanics, and industrial sectors. Beyond machine tools, Starrag offers integrated technology services and maintenance contracts to enhance customer uptime and productivity. The business operates through manufacturing plants and a global sales and service subsidiary network. Current strategic priorities include service team expansion, retrofit projects, international market penetration, and the digitalization of machining processes.
Starrag uses SAP for ERP, C++ and C# for application software, and industrial protocols including MQTT, OPC UA, and PROFINET. The stack also includes Siemens TwinCAT and CNC/Fanuc control systems, with SolidCAM for CAM programming.
Starrag operates manufacturing plants in Switzerland, Germany, France, the UK, and India, with sales and service subsidiaries in numerous other countries.
