Steffen - innovative and individual towards the future. Alfred Steffen realized his vision in 1963 and founded A. Steffen AG. At that time, he could not have imagined the extent to which the company would develop. Thanks to innovation, expertise, and high-quality products, the company grew from a one-man business to a family corporation. The first move in 1972 from Würenlos to Spreitenbach and the second move in 1989 to Limmatstrasse confirm the growth and success. The expansion in 1995 and the ISO certification in 1997 were further important steps. The connection to the B2B platform nexMart in 2012 as the first company in the electrical trade shows a willingness to change - a strength that has accompanied the company from the beginning.
