In this field, Monnier + Zahner AG reached worldwide a very high standard with machines to produce medical implants, such as bone screws and bone plates as well as artificial hip joints.<\/p>\n<p>Other important fields of activity include the construction of grinding machines for dental burs and machines for the production of worms and gears for suppliers to the automative industry and gear box manufacturers. This also includes customized machines, adapted to particular needs.<\/p>\n<p>2006 saw the integration of Lambert-Wahli Ltd. into the company Monnier + Zahner Ltd. Today, the staff of Monnier + Zahner Ltd. consists of approx. 70 people, apprentices included. The company takes great care in an extensive education of the young people. Ten to twelve apprentices in design, mechanics and electro-technicians receive their training at Monnier + Zahner Ltd.<\/p>\n<p>Innovation, flexibility and a leadership based on the human dimension, motivates the team to achieve outstanding results. Best quality and after-sales service, qualitative instead of quantitative growth, constant dialogue with customers and employees are the ingredients with which the MZ management ensures the company&#8217;s success.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2>History of Monnier + Zahner AG<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-tabs style_default switch_click accordion has_scrolling\" style=\"--sections-title-size:inherit\"><div class=\"w-tabs-sections titles-align_none icon_chevron cpos_right\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section\" id=\"1603715983649-a6b71525-5e9f\"><button class=\"w-tabs-section-header\" aria-controls=\"content-1603715983649-a6b71525-5e9f\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-title\">1964 Establishment of the company Monnier + Zahner AG by Eugen Monnier and Robert Zahner<\/div><div class=\"w-tabs-section-control\"><\/div><\/button><div  class=\"w-tabs-section-content\" id=\"content-1603715983649-a6b71525-5e9f\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-content-h i-cf\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>1965<br \/>\nConstruction of the manufacturing plant at Hauptstrasse 115<\/p>\n<p>1967<br \/>\n1st enlargement of the plant: Extension of the workshop by 20 m<\/p>\n<p>1972<br \/>\nExpansion of the manufacturing program by adding machines for dental and medical purposes as well as special machines<\/p>\n<p>1973 &#8211; 1974<br \/>\n2nd enlargement of the plant: Showroom and stockroom on the ground floor and director&#8217;s office and helio room on the first floor<\/p>\n<p>1974<br \/>\nRobert Zahner leaves the company<\/p>\n<p>1985<br \/>\nMeyco Holding Ltd.
