BYS

Bystronic AG

A Swiss maker of laser cutting and bending machines that shape sheet metal for everything from car parts to kitchen appliances. Founded in 1964 in Bützberg as a glass-processing firm, it moved into metal fabrication in the 1980s and now sells systems like the ByStar Fiber and ByTube Star to workshops worldwide. Its name is a mash-up of its three founders' surnames — Byland, Schneider, and Trösch.
