Since 1907 Schoch means efficiency in the production of high-quality reeds and accessories for textile looms. Our passion began at the end of the 1800s, when Alfredo Schoch, son of a Swiss reed maker, arrives in Italy to carry on the family tradition. Today our commitment to the customer continues with a modern and dynamic company, able to compete in an evolving global market.
