Our company owned and fully air-conditioned tool-making activity guarantees the dimensional accuracy of every tool we produce. Added to this are the many years of experience gathered by our qualified staff. State-of-the-art production processes ensure top quality and precision – for complex and fully automatic volume-production tools as well as for simple auxiliary tools.
In short: we give everything for the highest level of Swiss precision and perfection for your volume-produced parts and aim to excel in everything we do!
PRODUCTION
Whether stamping, stamping and bending or cold and warm forming: our modern and comprehensive machine outfit with high-performance production lines enables us to manufacture a broad range of parts. Complementing each other, our three technologies mean we can offer a unique combination of manufacturing expertise.
Our production facilities are right on the cutting edge and, besides conventional drives, we are increasingly using servo drives or individual servo axes to address complex challenges.
The entire machine outfit, including highly automated periphery and all aspects of the production process, is organised to ensure the optimum flow of materials and products.
Stamping
Our modern, high-performance automatic stamping machines from Bruderer, some of which come with a camera inspection capability, guarantee the cost-efficient production of high-quality, precision stamped parts. We process all stampable materials and materials in a strip width of up to 250 mm and in material thicknesses of 0.1 mm to 3.5 mm, either to make single parts or parts in strip form. We manufacture high-quality, precision and cost-efficient stamped parts for the automotive, construction, electrical and electronics industries as well as for companies in the medical, sensor technology, communications and mobile communications technology sectors as well as numerous other industries that demand high-quality products to be successful.
Stamping and bending
We specialise in producing complex stamped and bent wire parts as well as in the automated assembly of modules on automatic stamping and forming machines from Bihler. Depending on part geometry, we use wire diameters from 0.5 to 7 mm, strip widths of up to 100 mm and strip thicknesses of between 0.1 and 3.5 mm. The latest technical systems from BIHLER, conventional or with servo technology such as the servo-controlled GRM-NC stamping and forming machine, in combination with Lean-Tools, a lean, standardised tool concept, provide capabilities for producing volumes ranging from small-scale runs to several hundred million parts a year.
Cold and warm forming
This efficient production technology enables us to produce high-precision formed parts from wire sections of 2 to 12 mm in diameter in two to seven forming stages on state-of-the-art systems from National and Hilgeland. Process benefits: optimised use of material, high volume output, specific forming capabilities, cost-efficient alternative to turned parts, high mechanical loading capacity of parts and maximum reproduction accuracy. Using this efficient production technology, we produce a formed part from a wire section in two to seven forming stages.

The entire machine outfit, including highly automated periphery and all aspects of the production process, is organised to ensure the optimum flow of materials and products – right through to the point at which the items produced are shipped to our reliable external partners for further processing or directly to our customers just in time.
Parts cleaning
Exacting demands are placed on cleaning industrial parts. The cleanliness of parts is relevant to subsequent processing operations and also ensures the functionality and quality of the product at the customer. From Pero, one of the most modern and environmentally friendly parts cleaning systems with ultrasound, integrated circulating distillation, filter systems, pre-cleaning stages, 2-chamber cleaning system and steam cleaning enables us to supply stamped parts that are free of oil, grease and particles and meet all of the requirements commonly defined by both the electronics industry and the automotive industry. We provide verification on the basis of laboratory measurements in line with VDA 19 or customer standard requirements during the sampling phase or by means of in-process measurements.
Matching individual cleaning sequences to suit the particular application lets us gear the respective cleaning process to the customer's specific product.
Barrel finishing
A wide selection of plastic or ceramic abrasive products and compounds enables us to provide the type of surface treatment that is perfectly tailored to each product - adapted to suit the part's geometry and meet drawing specifications in exact compliance with the customer's wishes.
A special process also permits the barrel grinding of finished parts.
We use environmentally friendly, high-performance, constantly monitored, semi-automatic barrel-finishing systems. Closed water circulation protects the environment.
Electroplating
For surface finishing parts, we draw on the services of long-standing external and qualified partners who have been audited by us and who finish every product with a degree of precision and in a level highest quality second to none. Any finish can be provided that is achievable in various combinations of electroplating. Whether technical surfaces relevant to further processing to protect your products from environmental impacts or to improve conductivity: we can offer the right solution.
We carry out all common test procedures, such as layer thickness measurement with defined measuring points or salt spray tests.
Heat treatment
Specific applications or mechanical requirements on a product often demand additional heat treatment after the stamping process. Proper and dimensionally accurate hardening or tempering requires extensive knowledge and experience - this is available from our external service providers. Precision is possible, even after stamping!
Module assembly
We shall be pleased to take care of the entire process of assembling ready-to-install modules or systems for our customers. Doing so, we assume responsibility for the quality of all components involved. All on a one-stop-shop basis, on time and with absolute reliability, you can place your trust in our many years of experience.
Depending on assembly complexity, several processing and testing steps will be necessary. However, this is where our aim is always to find the most cost-efficient process and reduce the number of process steps to an absolute minimum by using the highest possible degree of automation and state-of-the-art machines or automatic assembly facilities in combination with innovative tools.
Picking and packing
We understand picking to mean all of the knowledge that is required for packaging parts in the successful way. In consultation with our customers and geared towards the further processing of parts, we define concepts for the most cost-effective packaging system that guarantees damage-free delivery worldwide. Although parts can be shipped in the conventional way as bulk goods or parts in strip form in cartons, blister packaging, dedicated trays, customer small load carriers (SLCs) and tape & reel can also be used. We will be pleased to devise an efficient and individually tailored packaging concept for you.
Packaging options
- Cardboard box - disposable packaging: disposable packaging is the inexpensive option for shipping bulk items. Disposable packaging makes a particularly attractive option in cases where reusable packaging is ruled out for hygiene reasons, reprocessing reusable packaging involves too many resources or returning it is too expensive.
- Small load carriers (SLCs): we follow our customers' standards. The finished parts are packed in individually tailored customer SLCs filled to optimum capacity.
Tray packaging: your products are provided with maximum protection when they are individually packaged in secure and impact-resistant, customised tray packaging. No filling material is needed and contents can be removed by robot with absolute precision.

OUR QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN COMPLIANCE WITH DIN EN ISO 9001 2015 HAS BEEN IN PLACE SINCE 1990 AND REGULARLY TAKEN FORWARD.
Essentially, our processes comply with IATF 16949, particularly where we can offer our customers additional benefits. We carry out sampling in accordance with PPAP (Production Part Approval Process) or, in specific instances, in line with customer requirements; we clarify this scope of sampling as early as the project planning phase.
We place a main focus on preventive measures and comprehensive advance quality planning. Assisted by an FMEA database developed by Fischer Reinach, project teams ensure that our stamping tools are ready for volume production in five verification/validation stages.
Comprising trained and highly qualified members of staff, our quality department provides our specialist departments with support along the entire process and value chain. Full traceability is ensured by the use of a CAQ system networked across the company.
In production, we set store by high-precision optical and tactile CNC-controlled measuring systems as well as 100% camera inspections with high-resolution video measuring cells directly on the machine. The high-quality systems guarantee measurement results with a very high degree of reproducibility within the measuring equipment's capabilities.
IMDS- entries are obligatory. We ensure compliance with REACH and RoHs by meticulously selecting our raw-material suppliers.
The Fischer Reinach management system on the intranet covers quality management in compliance with DIN EN ISO 9001, environmental management in compliance with ISO 14001, opportunity and risk management as well as occupational health and safety.
