The story
The Gebrüder Beutler company was founded by Ernst and Fritz Beutler in 1943. The company was located at Gwattstr. 40–42 in Thun in the canton of Bern. Beutler concentrated on one-off pieces and very small series production. Beutler specialised in sporty bodies for light European chassis. In 1955 the company name was Gebr. Beutler & Cie. At the beginning of the 1960s it was foreseeable that as a result of the introduction of self-supporting construction and the dwindling number of manufacturers able to provide chassis, the demand for special bodies would decline. In 1966 the company name was Carrosserie Beutler. From 1981 the company was called Carrosserie + Spritzwerk Beutler AG. On 8 September 1987, bankruptcy proceedings were opened.
