Say hello to tk accelis!

Change is an integral part of every successful company. tk accelis is the start of a new chapter for us – one that opens new opportunities and at the same time builds on our impressive heritage.

Editorial by Claudio Roth on the new issue of tk360

Dear clients and partners

Change is the only constant. Rarely has this sentence been more apt than today. Markets are changing rapidly, supply chains are becoming more demanding, and the pressures placed on companies are steadily increasing. We are also continuing to evolve: Thyssenkrupp Materials Schweiz is now tk accelis Materials Schweiz.

The independence of our materials services business unit and the associated rebranding open up new entrepreneurial freedom for us. That freedom creates the basis for more strategic flexibility, targeted investments in innovation and growth as well as for the consistent development of our product and service portfolio. The new name captures what we stand for: acting faster, working more precisely, and always providing our customers with the best possible access to materials and services. For you as our customer, the brand change primarily means continuity. The contacts, accountabilities and our organisation remain unchanged. Only our brand name is new and our email addresses have been adapted.

Our aspiration remains the same: we aim to work alongside you in the future as a reliable materials expert and service provider and jointly develop solutions that create real added value for you. Despite all the technological developments, one thing remains an essential factor for us: people. Materials form the basis of our work – but they only truly reveal their value through the knowledge, experience, and commitment of the people who work with them every day. Our employees, our customers, and our partners turn products into solutions and business relationships into long-term partnerships.

With tk accelis Materials Schweiz, we are combining new entrepreneurial opportunities with the values that have shaped us for almost a century. This will become particularly evident in 2027, when we celebrate our 100th anniversary. This anniversary shows that tradition and change are not opposites, but together form the foundation for a successful future. That is why we invest in new technologies without losing sight of what has always defined our success: the personal collaboration with the people who place their trust in us.

Welcome to tk accelis Materials Schweiz. Welcome to a future that blends innovation and reliability with one another.

Kind regards
Claudio Roth / CEO tk accelis Materials Schweiz AG
