About us
Peter Heusser Maschinenbau AG is an independent mechanical engineering company based in Wetzikon in the Zurich Oberland, specialising in the machining of oversized parts. The company produces one-offs, prototypes, small series and complete welded assemblies from steel, stainless steel, aluminium, copper, brass and plastics – among other things using centre and vertical (carousel) turning, CNC milling, CNC drilling, horizontal boring mill work and long-bed planing up to 11000 mm in length. As a full-service manufacturer, the company also handles metalworking (locksmith) work and welded constructions in MIG/MAG, material procurement, assembly as well as technical consulting and design proposals; heat treatment and surface finishing such as powder coating, painting or electroplating are carried out with selected partners. Its customers come mainly from machine, plant and mould making. Family-owned since 1953, the company is run in its third generation by Pascal Heusser and has been certified to EN/ISO 9001 since 2005.

Materials & Processes
Steel
Base material for machine parts, welded constructions and assemblies for mechanical and plant engineering.
Stainless steel
Corrosion-resistant material for components exposed to corrosion, machinable including stainless steel welding.
Aluminium
Light metal for large and bulky workpieces, including aluminium welding and anodising via partners.
Copper
Processed for components subject to electrical and thermal loads in mechanical engineering.
Brass
For turned and milled parts with good machinability, for example in mould and machine making.
Plastic
Machining of plastic workpieces in the same size ranges as metals.
