Swiss Quality Since 1942


Silac was founded in 1942 and has always been an owner-managed family business. Today, the innovative plastics manufacturing facility is led by Peter Birchler, representing the third generation of the family, while the fourth generation is already active in the business.

Silac specializes in the development, design, and tool making of plastic components, as well as in the production, finishing and assembly of injection-moulded and thermoset parts.

Silac serves customers in the food, cosmetics and healthcare, electrical, leisure and sports, machinery and equipment, construction and furniture industries. Our long-standing customers value our reliability, professionalism, and flexibility—Swiss qualities that have shaped the family business since its foundation.

More Space for Greater Capacity


Two years after its foundation, Silac moved to Euthal in 1944, which remains the company’s headquarters today. With around 60 employees, Silac is an important regional employer and training company, offering apprenticeships in plastics technology, plastics processing, polymechanics and commercial administration.

Motivated employees and well-trained young professionals are an important part of Silac’s long-term development. To increase production and storage capacity, the company expanded its Euthal site in 2020 with a two-storey extension providing around 3,000 m² of additional space.

The expansion strengthened Silac’s production and warehousing capabilities and created additional capacity for future customer requirements.
