History: perfect connections since 1942

It all began with an ear: the first ear clamp in the world, developed by Hans Oetiker, was an innovation that won him worldwide recognition.

The equally innovative and successful Oetiker Group is now a multinational family company with a local presence in all markets – for customers of all types who are satisfied only with the best.
