If L. Klein SA is a supplier of high-grade steel and material that innovates continuously and offers creative solutions to help its customers, it is also a company for whom the relationship with its users and its suppliers is of paramount importance. L. Klein SA has grown with the watchmaking sector and the regional delivery plan served by its trucks has been the same for 60 years! Meeting with the two directors, Olivier and Philippe Schiess.
Similarly, L. Klein SA has been working with some foundries for more than 30 years. The Directors tell us: "We have built long term relationships with our suppliers and this allows us to work closely for the development of new materials or new qualities". Over the years, this partnership has enabled the realisation of products that would have been impossible to be created otherwise.
Quantities of delivery “With us, no minimum quantity, if you need one single bar, it is possible” explain the directors. And it is also this flexibility that allows Klein to be recognised on the international markets. For example if you need a special material, it is often not possible to order less than 1000 kg elsewhere.
