Viktor Rätzer AG celebrated its 100th anniversary on September 20, 2025 – and the turnout was overwhelming. “We never expected so many people,” marveled Managing Director Remo Müller, great-grandson of the company founder. Even in the morning, the company premises in Dintikon filled with visitors from all over the region. Families, customers, partners, and neighbors experienced a day full of encounters, stories, and a festive atmosphere.
Experiencing History up Close
A highlight was the guided tours with Rolf Müller, Chairman of the Board of Directors and representative of the third generation. He enthusiastically took guests on a journey through the company’s history. He spoke particularly impressively about his grandfather, Viktor Rätzer – a tinkerer and ingenious inventor who found a solution for every problem. Among other things, he developed the welding accessory brand original FIX and had numerous of his inventions patented. His passion and ingenuity laid the foundation for what the company is today.
A Look into the Future
In addition to the review, the focus was also on the future. In his conversations, Remo Müller emphasized with joy and pride how Viktor Rätzer AG relies on state-of-the-art technologies today. With precision machines, digitized processes, and the use of 3D printing in prototype production, the company presents itself as an innovative partner that combines tradition with progress.
A Celebration for all Generations
The anniversary celebration was not only an insight into the industry, but also a village festival. Globi made the children’s eyes light up, the festival restaurant united young and old at long wooden tables, and live music provided the right atmosphere. Culinary delights, exciting tours, and a colorful entertainment program made the anniversary an unforgettable experience.
A Century with Heart and Hand
What began in the woodshed in 1925 has developed into a highly specialized manufacturing company in four generations. The anniversary impressively showed that Viktor Rätzer AG not only looks back on 100 years of innovation, but also looks to the future with passion and energy.
