About Swissbit
Manufacturing Excellence with European Transparency and Supply Chain Security
European Leader in Data Storage & Security
When industrial systems operate in extreme conditions, when supply chains demand documented regulatory compliance, or when defense contracts require European manufacturing, you need more than standard components. You need a partner with decades of experience in tailored applications where failure isn't an option.
Swissbit is the only European manufacturer of industrial-grade storage and security solutions with advanced in-house electronics production in Berlin. Founded in 2001, we serve customers in regulated, demanding markets where reliability, security, and supply chain transparency define success.
What Sets Swissbit Apart
We design and develop both hardware and firmware internally. This end-to-end control allows us to optimize storage performance, customize solutions for specific applications, and maintain full transparency over our products. Unlike many competitors who rely on third-party controllers and standard firmware, Swissbit creates tailored solutions that address the exact requirements of industrial environments.
Why Choose Swissbit
Industrial applications demand more than off-the-shelf components. Whether you need customized firmware, long-term supply stability, or direct engineering support, Swissbit provides the reliability and expertise that generic storage solutions cannot match.
Vision: Building a connected world where data and identities are trusted to ensure digital sovereignty.
Mission: We provide industry-leading data storage and security solutions that ensure reliable storage, data protection, and secure access for critical applications. This enables our customers to accelerate digital transformation across various industries.
Digital sovereignty, the ability to control and secure data within trusted, transparent systems, matters more than ever in an era of rising cyber threats, supply chain vulnerabilities, and geopolitical tensions. Swissbit contributes to this goal through European manufacturing, transparent development processes, and technologies that put control back in the hands of our customers.
Growth Through Strategic Partnerships
Over the years, Swissbit has built and continuously strengthened strategic partnerships across its supply chain, especially with key flash, controller, and component suppliers. These long-term collaborations reinforce stable access to critical technologies, support consistent product quality, and help accelerate innovation across our portfolio.
The 2021 acquisition of Hyperstone, a German developer of NAND flash controllers, extended our expertise throughout the storage value chain. Hyperstone's controller technology complements Swissbit's firmware and manufacturing capabilities, enabling deeper optimization and differentiation in our product portfolio. Now, Swissbit employs over 450 specialists across R&D, production, and customer support.
Our Berlin manufacturing facility received recognition in 2023 as part of the IPCEI ME/CT program (Important Projects of Common European Interest in Microelectronics and Communication Technologies). This European Union initiative supports strategic semiconductor projects to strengthen Europe's technological sovereignty and reduce dependency on non-European suppliers.
Comprehensive Product Portfolio
Industrial-grade and high endurance NAND flash products across all common form factors and technologies. The portfolio includes NVMe PCIe SSDs for data centers, SATA SSDs for industrial equipment, embedded memory (e.MMC) for IoT devices, and memory cards (SD, microSD, CFast, CFexpress) for demanding applications and data logging
Hardware security products that protect data and identities while staying easy to integrate. iShield Key combines FIDO authentication with physical access control, and the Security Upgrade Kit adds hardware-backed security to existing embedded systems. Designed for straightforward retrofitting without extensive system redesign.
Point-of-sale ticketing solutions to meet fiscal compliance requirements in Germany (TSE) and beyond. Includes TSE Cloud for scalable, connected compliance and simplified operations across distributed PoS environments.
