About Ferrini SA
Ferrini SA Officina Meccanica is a precision mechanics company founded in 1986 and based in Avegno in Ticino (Switzerland). The company manufactures medium to complex-shaped mechanical components as individual parts and assemblies – from prototypes and small series to large lots with flow deliveries, long-term scheduling or real-time Kanban control. The value chain includes project development with modern CAD-3D and CAD-CAM systems (programming with hyperMILL), CNC turning, milling, grinding, laser marking, as well as the assembly of semi-finished products and apparatus, including procurement of raw materials and mechanical, electromechanical or electronic components. Surface treatments are offered via external partners. Customers come from, among others, the machinery industry, electronics, the energy and automotive sectors, and medical and dental technology; since 2016 the contract manufacturing of implantable mechanical devices for orthopaedic surgery has been certified to EN ISO 13485. Communication takes place in Italian, German, French and English; at the Avegno site, a photovoltaic system generates energy for self-consumption.

Manufacturing Processes
CNC turning (Tornitura)
Precision machining of rotating components from prototypes to large series with Kanban or flow deliveries.
CNC milling (Fresatura)
Manufacturing of medium-complex to complex mechanical components, supported by CAD-CAM programming with hyperMILL.
Grinding (Rettifica)
Fine machining for tight tolerances and high surface quality.
Laser marking/engraving (Incisione laser)
Permanent marking of components, also in the context of traceable medical device manufacturing.
Engineering (CAD 3D/CAD-CAM)
Project development with multiple design variants and analysis of production processes to optimise production and productivity.
Assembly (Assemblaggio)
Assembly of semi-finished products and apparatus, including procurement of mechanical, electromechanical and electronic components.
Surface treatment (via external partners)
Extension of the service range through external partners for surface processes.
