Paul Forrer AG - Expertise leader in mobile technology

Paul Forrer AG, based in Bergdietikon, is a leading Swiss supplier of hydraulics, drive technology and power tools. Since its beginnings in the 1950s as a tree sprayer distributor, the company has developed into a modern full-service provider for mobile applications in agricultural, forestry, construction and municipal technology. With around 90 employees, Forrer focuses on expertise, continuous training and a strong customer orientation.

The company supplies agricultural machinery dealers, machine manufacturers, original equipment manufacturers, motorised equipment dealers, vehicle and construction machinery manufacturers and workshops. Close co-operation with renowned manufacturers makes Paul Forrer AG a reliable partner for complex hydraulic solutions.

Everyday challenges: requirements for hydraulic solutions

Mobile applications in the agricultural, forestry, construction and municipal sectors place high demands on the hydraulic components used. The connections must be able to withstand extreme conditions - from changing temperatures and weather conditions to heavy mechanical stress caused by vibrations and dirt. Simple and safe installation is also essential in order to minimise downtimes and make maintenance as efficient as possible.

The quality and durability of the products used are therefore key factors for the success and satisfaction of customers and end users. These requirements are precisely the reason why Paul Forrer AG attaches particular importance to high-quality hose connectors in its product range.

Why Ecovos? - The decision in favour of STAUFF components

The technical advantages and outstanding quality of the products quickly won us over; high process reliability and easy handling during assembly are just some of the benefits.

A cooperative and uncomplicated partnership at all levels simplifies processes and continues to impress us.

Since 2024, Paul Forrer AG has increasingly relied on Ecovos hose connectors from the STAUFF Group. The focus is particularly on hose nipples with DKO connections, BSP threads as well as ring eyes and flange connections in the comparatively small nominal sizes DN 6, 10 and 12. These sizes are particularly relevant for agricultural and forestry technology as well as smaller municipal and commercial vehicles and construction machinery.

The Ecovos series made of steel is characterised by a robust design with a durable STAUFF zinc/nickel surface that is particularly resistant to corrosion and mechanical stress.

Another plus point is the quick, safe and clean installation, which eliminates the need to lubricate threads and connecting cones when installing the hose on the machine. This reduces work steps and costs and is already good for the environment.

These technical features are a perfect match for the requirements that Paul Forrer AG places on its hydraulic components.

In addition, the mobile breakaway coupling is perceived as a major advantage: A classic hose connector can become an interlock connector with just one simple part. Double stock-keeping is therefore no longer necessary. You can find out more about the mobile breakaway coupling in our related blog post: Mobile pullout protection for Ecovos.

Application in practice: Where Forrer uses Ecovos hose connectors

Paul Forrer AG integrates Ecovos hose connectors primarily in agricultural, construction, forestry and municipal equipment and machinery. The connectors are used in hydraulic lines that are characterised by small nominal sizes and are particularly stressed in mobile applications.

Whether in tractors, forestry machines, construction machinery or municipal vehicles - the combination of Ecovos hose connectors with matching press connectors for single or multi-layer braided hoses guarantees permanent tightness and mechanical stability. The simple assembly supports fast maintenance and repair processes for customers and partners of Paul Forrer AG.

The advantages in detail: quality, assembly, availability

The STAUFF Ecovos portfolio scores highly at Paul Forrer AG with several advantages:

  • Outstanding quality: the robust design and the durable zinc/nickel surface make the connectors particularly durable and resistant - ideal for use in challenging environmental conditions.

  • Ease of assembly: The non-skive technology enables simple, quick and safe assembly without lubrication of threads and connecting cones. This saves time, minimises sources of error and already protects the environment. In addition, the mobile pull-out protection ensures quick expansion to interlock connectors without the need for double storage.

  • Availability: Thanks to a reliable supply chain, STAUFF guarantees a high level of supply security, which is crucial for Paul Forrer AG in order to enable fast deliveries and on-time projects for its own customers.

  • Technical support: In addition to the products, Forrer also appreciates STAUFF's competent technical support, which provides advice on complex issues.

The partnership between Forrer and STAUFF: Technology, trust, future

The collaboration between Paul Forrer AG and STAUFF is characterised by mutual trust and a clear joint growth agenda. Forrer has an excellent market position in Switzerland as well as extensive technical expertise and consulting skills. STAUFF impresses with its high-quality products and comprehensive service.

The two companies have been working closely together since 2022 - initially with tube connectors and filters, and now also with tube connectors from the Ecovos series and other STAUFF product groups. The expansion of the collaboration not only strengthens the market presence of both partners, but also ensures that customers in the mobile hydraulics sector receive optimised solutions.

Conclusion: When reliability counts

For Paul Forrer AG, STAUFF Ecovos hose connectors are an integral part of a high-quality, efficient range of hydraulic products. The combination of quality, simple installation and high availability makes the products a reliable choice for demanding mobile applications. The long-standing partnership with STAUFF is exemplary of a co-operation based on technical excellence, mutual trust and shared visions for the future.
