About us

Since the founding year 1922 by Mr. Wilhelm Plüss, the drive technology has always been a central topic.

The business, initially founded in the area of bicycle and motorcycle parts sales, increasingly shifted to industrial drive technology.

Already in the 1930s, the general agencies of a well-known German chain manufacturer (Wippermann) and an American manufacturer (Link-Belt from Chicago) could be won over.

When the Wilhelm Plüss sole proprietorship was taken over by his son Curt Plüss (ing.ETH) in the late 1950s, the company was changed to a limited partnership under the name C.Plüss + CO.

As an engineer at ETH, Mr. Curt Plüss placed great emphasis on technical advice on all aspects of drive technology. With a constantly growing range of products, it was possible to gain a strong position in the Swiss market.

With the takeover of the general agency Murtfeldt Kunststoffe from Dortmund, the product portfolio could be optimized once again.

After a company move from Talstrasse in Zurich to Binz near Albisgütli, the company was converted into an AG on June 30, 1980. C.Plüss + CO.AG

In 1988, the company moved to Dübendorf, where the company's own property was moved into.

In 1990 Mr. Curt Plüss had to hand over the introduction of the company to his son Jean-Daniel Plüss for health reasons, who successfully passed the company on until 2008.

For subsequent technical reasons, the company C.Plüss + CO.AG was sold in 2009 to the owner-managed company Schäfer-Technik GmbH in Ulm.

The previously known "Ketten-Plüss" experienced a massive upgrade of its product range in the area of warehouse, transport and belt technology.

This was followed by 10 years of successful cooperation and the use of many synergies.

C.Plüss + CO.AG was acquired by the RUBIX Group in January 2019 and is now part of the largest sales partner in Europe in terms of bearing drive and fluid technology.
