The original activity of our company consisted more than 135 years ago in collecting and reprocessing machining chips and production residues containing precious metals from the local watch and jewellery industry in order to extract its precious constituents. The expertise thus acquired on metallurgy and the properties of precious metals laid the foundations for the development of biocompatible materials for implants. This is complemented by in-depth skills in the various manufacturing and processing methods. This know-how also includes a fully equipped laboratory for analytical and mechanical testing of metallic components, which is certified according to ISO/IEC 17025.
