A Look Behind the Scenes of an Innovative Employer


My name is Simon, and I recently joined simatec as a Product Manager. In this blog post, I’d like to take you along on my first weeks at simatec – a company that impresses not only with its innovative products such as simalube, simatherm, and simatool, but also with its values, company culture, and global outlook.

I’ll share my personal impressions from the start of my journey: a comprehensive onboarding program, exciting insights into production and customer applications – and why, to me, simatec is a company with a future.

Why simatec?

Even before I started, it was clear to me: simatec is no ordinary industrial company. As a global leader in automatic lubricators and high-tech maintenance solutions, simatec stands for:

  • Innovation in maintenance technology
  • A future-oriented mindset through digitalization and automation
  • Values like quality, sustainability, and partnership
  • A global presence with partners and subsidiaries around the world


These principles are not just marketing claims or part of an image film – they are lived every day.

My Start at simatec: An Onboarding Program with Real Depth


From day one, my onboarding experience as a Product Manager at simatec was structured, hands-on, and surprisingly diverse. The introduction program gave me not only the technical knowledge I needed, but more importantly, a comprehensive understanding of the products, processes, and people behind simatec.

In my first weeks, I had the opportunity to:

  • Dive deep into the three product lines: simalube, simatherm, and simatool – to the point where my head was spinning (in the best way)
  • Experience the automated production site in Wangen an der Aare up close
  • Exchange ideas with colleagues from all departments about their daily challenges
  • And even install our products myself — at a customer site, in the farthest and dustiest corner of a recycling facility

simalube: Swiss Technology for Automatic Lubrication


What makes simalube so unique?

The simalube automatic lubricator is a prime example of Swiss innovation: reliable, compact, and used worldwide – wherever there is motion.

Its key benefits at a glance:

  • Continuous lubrication around the clock – for maximum equipment uptime
  • Maintenance-free for up to 12 months – saving time and manpower
  • Easy to install – even in hard-to-reach or harsh environments


“At first glance, simalube seems like a simple product – but its range of applications is nearly limitless. Wherever something moves, simalube can be used.”
