60 years ago on 18th October, 1957, a radio and television electronics engineer called Felix Huttrer founded Schuco. He took his technical expertise acquired from radio and television engineering and applied them to medical technology.

From the beginning, he instilled in his team core values of providing a personal and prompt service and a high level of technical knowledge – 60 years later, we still maintain the same core values!

We have had many defining moments over the years which have helped shape the business into what it is today. It wasn’t until the 90’s that we decided skin would be our area of focus. This shift in focus has taken us into exciting new arenas such as teledermatology for the early detection of skin cancer, as well as anti-ageing and aesthetics. Through our passion for skin and desire to provide customers with the latest and greatest in skin technology, our tag line “tomorrow’s skin technology” was born.

We are extremely proud of the number of long-standing, loyal customers we have, many of whom are friends, and we consider these types of relationships essential to our business. To celebrate our 60th birthday, we have given our logo a birthday makeover and will be running exciting weekly offers over the next month! Keep an eye out on Facebook and Twitter for updates.

All customer feedback is valued and is as vital in improving current products, as it is in developing new ones. We hope that we can continue to work with our customers to deliver the best in skin technology for at least another 60 years to come!
