About Leyat-Predemec
LEYAT - PREDEMEC SA is a company specialized in mechanical contract manufacturing, based in St-Pierre-de-Clages in the canton of Valais, producing to customer drawings and specifications since 1984. Its service range includes CNC turning with driven tools and milling heads for diameters from 10 to 540 mm (workpieces up to 1 m in length) as well as CNC milling on 3 to 5 simultaneous axes for workpieces from 10 mm to 3000 mm in length. Machined materials include alloyed steels up to the hardest grades, aluminium, copper, other non-ferrous metals and plastics. Complementary services include sawing, surface grinding, micro-percussion marking, 3D measurement and the assembly of complete assemblies; surface treatments, cylindrical grinding and non-destructive testing are arranged through a long-standing network of approved suppliers. Customer segments include, among others, passenger transport, amusement parks, the packaging industry, stamping tools for the watch and leather goods industry, mechanical engineering, injection moulding and high-voltage power plants.
