Michael Sutter

Michael Sutter, born in 1970 near Solothurn, initially studied envi­ron­mental sciences at ETH Zurich followed by indus­trial design at ZHdK. After grad­u­ating in 2000, he was able to realize many projects at Formpol as a long-term employee. Further­more he was occa­sion­ally active as lecturer and exam­i­na­tion expert at ZHdK, HFTG and ETH Sustain­ability Summer School.

Since 2012, Michael Sutter has been working as a senior designer and senior engi­neer in the team of inno­va­tion manage­ment at Helbling Technik AG in Zurich. Thereby he is involved in both, prelim­i­nary projects as well as in the devel­op­ment of new prod­ucts. His design and devel­op­ment tasks lie in the areas of machine and plant construc­tion, tools, medical tech­nology, house­hold and other tech­nical devices such as the collab­o­ra­tive robot P‑Rob 2 from F&P Robotics.

“Inte­grated indus­trial design” is being contin­u­ously expanded at Helbling Technik AG — the largest service company for product devel­op­ment in Switzer­land. Michael Sutter ensures that indus­trial design is inte­grated into the engi­neering services right from the start, and that engi­neers and designers are able to work hand in hand with high effi­ciency on complex tasks. The result are inno­v­a­tive, ergonomic prod­ucts with coherent details and a convincing overall appear­ance.
