[10] The machines were produced at SIG in Neuhausen[11] on behalf of the patentee of a "folding box" die-fold system, a co-founder of SAPAL (Société Anonyme des Plieuses Automatiques).

Most of SIG's earlier packaging equipment efforts were focused on small dry food items such as chocolates and candy.

At that time, SIG already ranked as the second-largest manufacturer in the world, after Tetra Pak, of cardboard composites for fluids packaging.

[15] Motion control specialist SIG Positec, which was mostly successful on the German, Swiss and Italian markets, was sold to Schneider Electric in the same year for €195 million.

Management directed revenues from the sales of SIG Sauer and Rocktools to acquire global businesses, including Krupp Kunstofftechnik (Corpoplast, Blowtec, and Kautex brands)[15] and HAMBA in Germany;[17] Ryka Blow Molds in Canada;[18][19] and a substantial portion of the Italian conglomerate SASIB.

[25] Laser-guided vehicle manufacturer Elettric 80, part of the 1999 SASIB acquisition, was sold back to its original Italian owners in 2004.

[12] The slimmed-down SIG Beverages unit, manufacturer of PET bottle blow-molding machinery, was sold off to the German company Salzgitter AG in March 2008.

[32] In 2017, SIG introduced the first individual QR codes with digital sourcing transparency, tailored for dairy product consumers.

In the same year, SIG finalised the acquisition of Scholle IPN,[36] an American producer of flexible food and beverages packaging including spouted pouches and bag-in-box solutions originally developed by William R.

[39] The schweizerische Waggonfabrik[40] ("Swiss Wagon Factory") was founded in 1853 by Friedrich Peyer im Hof, Heinrich Moser, and Johann Conrad Neher.

In 1860, the rifle won a competition held by the Swiss Military Department, resulting in a contract to produce 30,000 pieces.

This pistol's frame design incorporates external rails which fit closely with the slide, thus eliminating play in the mechanism during firing.

In a 1984 bidding contest to provide more than 300,000 sidearms to the US military, the SIG Sauer P226 was defeated by Beretta's 92FS which was awarded the contract for the M9 pistol.

In January 1985, SIGARMS was established in Tyson's Corner, Virginia, where its handgun models P220 and P230 were imported into the US from its sister company in Europe.

[67] In addition to the conversion of the site (residential, commercial, retail, gastronomy), it is still home to the company's headquarters and a production facility with 200 employees.

The SIG Group has 90 subsidiaries in 41 countries in Europe, Asia,[68][69] Middle East, Africa, North,[70] Central and South America[71][72] The most important production sites are located in Neuhausen am Rheinfall, Saalfelden, Linnich, Wittenberg, Alsdorf, Eisfeld, Tilburg, Barcelona, Shanghai, Suzhou,[73] Palghar,[74] Pune,[75] Ahsan, Hsinchu, Rayong, Edinburgh North, Riyadh,[76] Northlake, Peachtree City, Querétaro,[77] Campo Largo, Vinhedo and Santiago.
