Sulzer Ltd. is a Swiss industrial engineering and manufacturing firm established as Sulzer Brothers Ltd. in 1834 in Winterthur, Switzerland. Today it is a publicly owned company with international subsidiaries. The company's shares are listed on the Swiss Stock Exchange.

Sulzer Brothers helped develop shuttleless weaving, and their core business was loom manufacture. Rudolf Diesel worked for Sulzer in 1879, and in 1893 Sulzer bought certain rights to diesel engines. Sulzer built their first diesel engine in 1898.

Sulzer developed a series of traction engines in the 1930's and 1940's which were used extensively in the UK, Europe and South America. A small number were used in locomotives in South Africa and [http://nicdoncaster.com/rail/sulzer.htm Australia.] Several experimental diesels were built in the US.

In 1990 Sulzer spun off the diesel engine division into a separate company named "New Sulzer Diesel" (NSD) and sold the majority of New Sulzer Diesel's shares, retaining only a minority ownership in the company. In 1997 NSD was absorbed by Wärtsilä, which created "Wärtsilä NSD". Wärtsilä NSD is the maker of the world's largest diesel engine, Wärtsilä-Sulzer RTA96-C.
