History

The company was founded in 1975 as BELIMO Automation AG in the Swiss town of Gossau, Zürich. BELIMO is an acronym of three German words: "beraten", "liefern" and "montieren". Belimo specialized in actuators, which were delivered for the first time in 1976. A company was opened to conduct sales in Stuttgart for Germany in 1977. In 1979, the company's headquarters was moved to Wetzikon, Switzerland.
In the mid-1980s, representatives in England, Finland, Norway, Austria, Denmark, France, Sweden and the Netherlands were appointed as independent distributors. The company expanded with the founding of BELIMO Aircontrols in the United States in 1989.
In the 1990s, various Belimo subsidiaries were founded: Spain in 1990; Austria, Great Britain and France in 1993 and 1994; Canada in 1995; and Hong Kong in 1997. In the meantime, BELIMO Automation AG became a public company in 1995. In 1998, the company's name was changed to BELIMO Holding AG.
International expansion continued into the 2000s, with the establishment of subsidiaries in Singapore, Poland, Sweden, Australia, India and China.
In November 2002, the company moved into its new manufacturing and administration building to Hinwil, consolidating all sites in the Zurich Oberland region. At the same time, the headquarters was moved to Hinwil from Wetzikon.
In 2013, Belimo expanded its US site at Danbury, Connecticut, to better serve the American markets. The site is used for manufacturing, logistics and administration.
