Many developments have been initiated in Switzerland over the past decades, and most are now regarded as setting world standards. The Swissmetal Industries plants have succeeded to this day in maintaining their lead in quality and performance.
Our aim is to continuously upgrade our production processes so that we can offer our customers advanced products for machining that meet the most stringent standards.
Swissmetal Industries has set the standard in free-machining products by perfecting alloys variations to exhibit adequate to excellent machinability and the required mechanical properties for cold forming all from environmentally friendly materials.
