Dear Valued partner,
We wish to inform you that AF Switzerland SA has decided to sell their tool and equipment business under the brands “A*F Switzerland”, “A*F Gold Shark”, “ETIC” and “Novostar” to the company: Brütsch/Rüegger Tools based in Urdorf Switzerland. Brütsch/Rüegger Tools is a major international player in the tool business and plans to expand its existing business in the watchmaking and jewellery fields through the acquisition of the AF Switzerland SA brands.
This change is effective January 15th 2020.
To avoid any possible conflict of interest, until further notice, AF Switzerland SA will continue to supply and trade in watch parts and materials only under the new company name WParts-2300 SA. Telephone and fax numbers as well as email addresses remain unchanged until further notice.
• All orders for watch spare parts must be sent to WParts-2300 SA (formerly AF Switzerland SA) - Email: reception@afswitzerland.com
• From January 16th 2020 all orders for tools must be sent to Brütsch/Rüegger Tools - Email: afswitzerland@brw.ch - Contact person: Mr. Loïc Châtelain (loic.chatelain@brw.ch)
Tools from other brands previously distributed by AF Switzerland SA which were part of their sales programme such as Dumont tweezers, UMV files etc. will also be available from Brütsch/Rüegger Tools. Brütsch/Rüegger Tools will continue to work with the identical product range and will take over the actual stock of AF Switzerland SA to fulfil open orders as quickly as possible.
The management of WParts-2300 SA (formerly AF Switzerland SA) is at your disposal for any questions or further information. All outstanding invoices issued for goods supplied by AF Switzerland SA must be paid to the usual bank details in your possession.
AF Switzerland SA thanks you in advance for giving your business and support to Brütsch/Rüegger Tools just as you have done to AF Switzerland SA in the past. And also for your patience and understanding not only during this transition period but most importantly, for your custom and loyalty over the past years.
This change has not been an easy decision for the owners and management of AF Switzerland SA bearing in mind our long history of supplying tools to the watch and jewellery industry in Switzerland and around the world.
However, this change will bring an immediate improvement in the supply of AF Switzerland tools thus enabling you to increase your business by assuring the longevity of the A*F brands.
