NOVA WERKE AG is a Swiss technology company based in Effretikon with subsidiaries in France, Germany, Italy and Hong Kong. The company develops and manufactures under the Nova Swiss quality brand across three product lines and production areas: High-Pressure Technology, Engine Components and Surface Technology.
When NOVA WERKE was founded, its employees ground cylinders and crankshafts in a small workshop. Despite these modest beginnings, the company's pistons and piston rings for combustion engines soon made NOVA WERKE AG famous far beyond the borders of Switzerland.
Around the same time, the company diversified into new areas that focused on high technology. With a focus on the “high pressure technology” segment, it produced components, systems and equipment for high pressure applications up to 10,000 bar.
The company also developed strongly in the areas of "engine components" and "surface technology". NOVA WERKE AG later unified services and processes across these three product lines under the registered trademark NOVA SWISS.
NOVA SWISS S.à.r.l. France today employs some 20 staff who develop and produce components and systems for high-pressure technology. In the same year, the subsidiary NOVA WERKE Deutschland GmbH was founded and is also involved in high-pressure technology. The small team based in Dortmund is responsible for the distribution of NOVA SWISS products throughout Germany.
Kowema AG offers pension plans in Switzerland as well as attractive investment opportunities in Swiss SMEs, thereby tapping into a previously neglected investment segment. In doing so, Kowema not only creates jobs, but also strengthens Switzerland as a business location while securing long-term retirement provisions.
Nova Werke China Co. Ltd. in Hong Kong has been operational since January 1, 2018, and is responsible for the distribution of engine components and high-pressure technology for the Chinese market.
Nova Werke S.r.l. in Italy has been operating in Milan since September 1, 2024 and is part of the high pressure technology division.
