About Groupe DIXI
Groupe DIXI, based in Le Locle (Switzerland), dates back to 1904, when the DIXI brand became known for special machines for the horological industry, including the first pointing machine with an accuracy of one hundredth of a millimetre. Today the group consists of four independent companies with around 500 to 550 employees, a presence in 7 countries and more than 6000 customers. DIXI Polytool produces in Le Locle precision cutting tools made of solid carbide, diamond tools and precision reamers. DIXI Microtechniques develops and manufactures in Marchaux-Chaudefontaine (France) micromechanical and microtechnical solutions for industry and operates its own test laboratory. DIXI Médical has been manufacturing electrodes for epilepsy diagnostics for over 40 years, produced in its own cleanroom. Marksa develops and produces semi-custom industrial chillers for industrial processes and is also active in the fields of compressed air and vacuum.
