Responsibility with a system. Quality with a history.

Mirror cabinets and illuminated mirrors in Swiss quality

We develop and manufacture our products in Switzerland – with a vision for tomorrow. Precision, partnership and responsibility are our guiding principles. As a responsible pioneer, we design sustainable solutions for the bathroom – smart processes and quality that extends far beyond the materials used.
Swiss-made products, quality and sustainability have been the model for Schneider's success for over 70 years.

Swiss-made – where quality begins

Our mirror cabinets and illuminated mirrors are designed and manufactured in our factory in Flums (St Gallen) – with genuine Swiss precision. Construction, design and assembly take place in-house – from the first draft to the last screw.

Metalworking
We process high-quality, durable aluminium – on CNC-controlled machining centres and CAM-controlled presses. This way, we achieve maximum accuracy of fit for every series.
Product finishing
Our aluminium profiles are procured already chrome-plated or anodised. In our own factory, we further refine them with a powder coating that is efficient, durable and precisely tailored to the future product.
Assembly line
Product manufacturing is largely digitised and designed for a high degree of automation. During final assembly, we use reliable processes. Each assembly is systematically put together to create the finished product and tested. The product only leaves our factory once all requirements have been met.
Quality that lasts
We thoroughly test every product – from the electronics to the hinge. That's because Schneider stands for long-lasting solutions that will provide you with decades of joy.

Recycled aluminium – a cycle that convinces

Sustainability that's effective

Recycled aluminium – a cycle that convinces
Schneider was one of the first manufacturers in Europe to start manufacturing aluminium mirror cabinets as early as in 1967. Today, with the exception of the Schneider LUNE D2W model, all our products are made of recycled aluminium*. The material is particularly robust, durable, hygienic and rust- and mould-free – and can be cleaned effortlessly.
LED technology – efficient and durable
Our illuminated mirrors and mirror cabinets are equipped with the latest generation of energy-saving LED technology. The integrated lamps last up to 50,000 operating hours – which saves resources and ensures optimal light quality long term.
Modern production facilities
We save valuable resources – thanks to:

our photovoltaic system, which has been in operation since 11 October 2023
our modern powder-coating system, which operates in a particularly material-efficient manner, consumes 20% less electricity and recycles 94% of the residual powder.
our hybrid kiln, which is operated in a system-optimised manner powered by electricity and oil
our cardboard cutting machine, which produces customised packaging for mirror cabinets and illuminated mirrors
our new 5-axis CNC machine, which combines the highest precision with a high degree of automation
rail transport with our logistics partner, Kuoni, which saves us over 1,000,000 kilometres of Swiss road travel every year

* 100% of our aluminium profiles are based on recycled aluminium. This has a used material content of approx. 80%.

Because responsibility is a product feature.

Head of Operations and Engineering

«We focus production on our own plant in Flums, Switzerland, at the edge of the Grison Alps, and have introduced modern Just-in-Time production with Lean Management. This realignment ensures Schneider's long-term competitiveness of the plant – and thus jobs in Switzerland.»

Frequently asked questions about quality, materials and sustainability at Schneider

What does Swiss quality mean at Schneider?
At Schneider, Swiss quality means that design, engineering and manufacturing all take place at our site in Flums, Switzerland. Short delivery routes, high quality standards and local value creation strengthen the Swiss production location – and ensure precision, reliability and fast delivery times.
Why does Schneider use molded fiber packaging for mirror cabinets and illuminated mirrors?
Styrofoam is neither biodegradable nor easy to recycle. That’s why Schneider relies on an environmentally friendly molded fiber solution. The three-dimensional fiber parts are made from recycled paper and cardboard and offer optimal product protection – shaped precisely to fit our mirror cabinets and illuminated mirrors.
How sustainable are Schneider’s mirror cabinets and illuminated mirrors?
Almost all Schneider products are made from recycled aluminum – a material that is durable, rust-resistant and fully recyclable. We also use energy-saving LED lights and low-emission production processes such as solar-powered electricity and modern oven technology.
How does Schneider’s packaging process work?
After pre-assembly, all mirror cabinet and illuminated mirror components are released for final assembly via barcode scan. At the same time, packaging production begins: our machine cuts exact, flat cardboard blanks, which are then folded manually and fitted around the products. The packaged products are then cleared for dispatch.
What are the ecological and logistical benefits of molded fiber packaging?
Molded fiber packaging is a future-proof solution: it’s made from renewable resources, fully recyclable, and serves as an alternative to petroleum-based materials. Robust and nestable, molded fiber parts minimize storage volume, improve efficiency and reduce the environmental footprint of logistics and warehousing.
How do you recycle molded fiber packaging properly?
Molded fiber parts are made of recycled paper and cardboard. After unpacking, dispose of them in your local paper or cardboard recycling bin. Ensure that the materials are clean, dry, and free of tape or plastic to allow proper recycling and reintegration into the recycling loop.

Why does Schneider use aluminum profiles for mirror cabinets and illuminated mirrors?
Aluminum is durable, rust-free and 100 % recyclable. Our anodized and powder-coated profiles are especially robust and offer maximum design flexibility. The result: products that are functional, beautiful and built to last.
How does Schneider minimize material waste during profile production?
Our computer-controlled CNC machines and robotic arms ensure ultra-precise processing of aluminum. Scrap material is collected, sorted and fully recycled – enabling an almost waste-free production cycle.
What happens during the powder coating of aluminum profiles?
The profiles are electrostatically sprayed with powder paint and baked in a hybrid oven at approx. 180 °C. Schneider’s innovative coating system recovers up to 94 % of unused powder – saving materials and creating a durable, even finish.
What happens to aluminum profiles in the oven?
After powder coating, mirror cabinet and illuminated mirror profiles are cured in the hybrid oven at 160–200 °C. The oven opens and closes automatically after each profile, improving thermal efficiency and saving energy.
How does Schneider reduce CO₂ emissions?
Since October 2023, a photovoltaic system on the factory roof has covered 20 % of Schneider’s energy needs – soon to be 25 %. The remaining electricity comes from 100 % hydropower. Energy-efficient systems and rail transport further reduce emissions.
