After the factory building in Sachseln was completed in 1963, Interelectric began producing shearing foils for Braun GmbH, specifically for their electric shavers.

Its main market areas are aerospace, automotive, communication, industrial automation, measuring and testing, medical, and security technologies.

The company gives its name to the railway station, Ewil Maxon, that adjoins the plant and has frequent connections to the city of Lucerne and farther.
