About Tecnomec SA
Founded in 1981, Tecnomec SA is a precision mechanics company based in Stabio in the Swiss canton of Ticino. The company manufactures mechanical components across a broad spectrum of machining processes: 3-, 4- and 5-axis CNC milling, CNC turning of turned parts up to 3000 mm in length, cylindrical and surface grinding, jig grinding, fine boring on jig boring machines, as well as wire EDM and microdrilling with hole diameters from 0.20 mm. The offering is complemented by 3D printing for prototyping and deep-freeze storage at -86 to -40 °C. The continuously modernized machine fleet includes, among others, 5-axis machining centers with pallet changer and travelling-column milling machines with 3600 mm X travel. The quality system is certified to EN 9100 (aerospace and defense) and ISO 9001 (industry); a climate-controlled measuring room with two Zeiss coordinate measuring machines ensures dimensional inspection and calibration of measuring equipment. In 2022, Tecnomec won first place in the Prix SVC Svizzera italiana.
