SWISSto12, one of Europe’s fastest growing aerospace companies, reports continued global expansion. The company has secured additional production space at its headquarters in Switzerland, increasing the size of its existing site to 5,700m2. In addition, SWISSto12’s team increased by 25% since the start of 2024 to over 125 employees.
SWISSto12 is a leading manufacturer of advanced satellite RF products, payloads and systems, including the HummingSat: a small yet powerful geostationary telecommunications satellite developed in collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA) through its public-private-partnership program. The company’s RF products benefit from unique and patented 3D-printing technologies and associated Radio Frequency (RF) product designs that deliver lightweight, compact, highly performing, and competitive RF functionality. SWISSto12 has developed commercially with success in Europe and in the USA, and is amongst the fastest growing aerospace companies in Europe.
SWISSto12 was recently named as one of the world’s “10 Hottest Satellite Companies.” This industry recognition follows the company’s announcement in Q4 2023 of securing over €200 million in customer orders for Radio Frequency subsystems and HummingSat satellites, including from leading satellite operators Inmarsat (Viasat) and Intelsat.
In line with this growth, SWISSto12 secured an additional 1,200m2 of production space including a large clean room, to its existing 4,500m2 site at its headquarter in Renens (VD). In addition, SWISSto12 has welcomed several new Satcom engineering experts to its growing team. Industry veteran Peter Bach Andersen started working with the SWISSto12 team in November 2023 along with colleagues based out of Denmark. Peter Bach Anderson previously spent eleven years at Cobham Satcom in Kongens Lyngby, Denmark where he led the development of new RF, Microwave and Antenna technologies.
Emile de Rijk, CEO of SWISSto12 said, “SWISSto12 is continuing to scale in order to meet exceptional customer demand for our Radio Frequency subsystems and HummingSat – the first commercial GEO SmallSat. In Denmark, we have access to one of Europe’s leading aerospace and SatCom engineering talent pools. The addition of new production space and a new additional cleanroom to our Renens headquarters is further accelerating our mission to industrialise and scale our product lines and production capabilities.”
