Made in Switzerland
STEWI (STEiner WInterthur) was founded in 1947 by Walter Steiner Senior. The first products were made of wood and hemp ropes. Since the 1960s, STEWI has his well known models developed and produced exclusively in aluminium and plastic.
All individual parts of a Stewi are manufactured at our production site in Saland near Zurich. We use only the highest quality raw materials and produce our plastic parts in our own plastic injection moulding department.
