We view ourselves as a traditional Swiss family business with first-class products. With the Schmidlin brand, we make you a clear promise. With high-quality, made-to-measure products for your bathroom, we support you as your reliable and expert Swiss partner.

Our three core values shape the way we present ourselves, communicate, manufacture and work together.

Reliable#

Our Swiss heritage provides a solid foundation for everything we do. At our production facility in Oberarth, we manufacture sophisticated quality products. When it comes to meeting deadlines, you can rely on us. Our short delivery times, even for made-to-measure products, speak for themselves.

Flexible#

Thanks to streamlined processes, we work quickly and efficiently. We respond to your needs and create products that fit you and your bathroom perfectly. Through our continuous improvement process, SchmidLEAN, we are constantly evolving.

High quality#

With the experience of three generations, the proven expertise of our qualified employees and optimised manufacturing processes, we offer you sustainable solutions – including made-to-measure options – of robust, stylish and well-considered quality.

This is Schmidlin#

Swiss Made

In 1947, Wilhelm Schmidlin founded Switzerland’s first and, to this day, only steel bathtub factory in Oberarth. Twenty-two years later, Eduard and Margrit Wullschleger-Schmidlin took over the management of the family business. Since 2007, the company’s fortunes have been in the hands of Beat and Urs Wullschleger.

Innovation and quality have a long tradition at Schmidlin. That is why we continuously invest in Switzerland as a production location, to which we remain firmly committed. After all, we want to continue delighting you, our customers and business partners, with high-calibre Swiss products and services in the future.

Sustainable

As a family business, we are guided by the principle of sustainable development. We operate in a way that keeps our environmental impact as low as possible, while also fulfilling our social responsibility towards our employees and fellow human beings.

In our decisions, we think of the generations that will come after us, and we place great importance on maintaining fair and transparent relationships with our business partners.

Made-to-measure

We specialise in fulfilling your individual requirements. Our made-to-measure products are divided into two areas: Vario and custom-made products.

Vario offers made-to-measure products with simple ordering, fast delivery and fixed prices. Bathtubs, shower trays and washbasins can be adapted entirely to your wishes as custom-made products – whether extended, shortened or widened, with individual tap holes and a variety of corner shapes.

Steel tile flanges

A tile flange is a 3 cm high enamelled upstand on the edge of the tub, half of which is covered by wall tiles. This eliminates the need for silicone in the wall area and guarantees an absolutely watertight wall connection. A tile flange offers a hygienic, durable and visually appealing solution.

Configurator#

With our online configurator, you can plan and order with ease. Visualise dimensions, shapes and options online, and use the configuration code to place your order with a specialist retailer.

Short delivery times#

We produce quickly and flexibly. Thanks to batch size 1 and fast throughput times, we stand out with very short delivery times, even for made-to-measure products.

Warranty#

You benefit from a 30-year warranty against manufacturing defects on all bathtubs, shower bases, shower areas and washbasins from our company. The two-year warranty on whirl systems can be extended with a maintenance contract.
