Mastering materials with precision
We set benchmarks in transforming materials into high-precision components. Backed by over a century of metallurgical know-how and in-house development capabilities, we process demanding metals and alloys with precision and consistency across watchmaking, MedTech and industrial applications.
Precious Metals
We have deep experience processing precious metals, and complex materials. We deliver reliable, high-quality parts for watchmaking, MedTech and other industrial applications with full traceability.
Non-Precious Metals
Our expertise extends to titanium, zirconium, palladium and other advanced alloys. With CMSA’s precision in turning, milling, and other manufacturing steps, we ensure finely tuned processes to treat the most demanding materials.
Steel
We process stainless and specialty steels with high precision and repeatability. These materials are commonly used in MedTech and industrial applications where strength, formability, and surface integrity are essential.
Copper
We machine and finish copper-based materials for both technical and decorative applications. Our processes ensure excellent dimensional control, surface quality, and material integrity, even in alloys that are sensitive or difficult to handle.
Special Materials
We continuously adapt our capabilities to process unconventional or emerging materials. Working closely with toolmakers and partners, we co-develop solutions to meet the unique challenges posed by advanced alloys and specialty materials.
Others
These materials don’t fall under other categories but are regularly processed as part of specific projects. They support diverse functional and structural needs across applications.
