As someone else mentioned, Ochsners were Swiss built.
Back in 1992 I sort of fell in love with the then new Vitus 992. At that time Ochsner was the Vitus importer. I was concerned about spares availability and repair facilities, so I called Ochsner. I talked to someone with a pretty thick German (Swiss?) accent who I later learned was probably Othon Ochsner. He was quite helpful.
Try calling (847)465-8200.
