Swiss Dane Manifesto


Being Swiss can be a curse or a gift. We look at the world differently. It is a mindset. A mindset that OK is not good enough. There is perfection, preciseness, and cleanliness that flows through our brains. This mindset permeates in Swiss products and services. So what about elevators? The answer is Ja (Yes). This mindset that has kept us in business since 1961 and three generations strong. Always thinking and re-thinking how to do things better for our clients and manufactured elevator products. We just don’t cut, bend, and weld inferior elevator products, we consider all angles for the best-integrated solutions. Our Swiss DNA requires vast mountains, so we are based in Auberry, California, which is nestled the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. It is here where we manufacture the quality elevator cabs, entrances, and accessories that have been working components of elevators throughout the United States and beyond. We have kept people moving. Either up or down, elevator companies have entrusted us to make quality products that move millions of times a day. Ultimately, that is our promise, and that is the goal that your company will trust us to make the best-integrated products for your elevator systems. Finally, that is our promise, and that is the goal that your company will trust us to make the best-integrated products for your elevator systems.

History

Swiss Dane was established in 1961 when Joe Odermatt partnered with George Melchor and specialized in sheet metal fabrication which later developed into Elevator manufacturing. The company moved to Auberry, California in 1995 to get closer to its Swiss roots in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. We built the Barn where all of our elevator products are produced and where Swiss Dane Corporation is housed. Currently we are third generation Swiss running the company. We are a family run business and we treat our customers as family.
