Swissmetal Industries AG is a Swiss manufacturer of copper and copper alloys based in Switzerland. High quality products are distributed worldwide in various product lines: electronics, telecommunications, aerospace, military, oil & gas exploration, automotive, consumer goods, architectural, and others.
Companies[modifier | modifier le code]
- Reconvilier : Bernese Jura – Switzerland. The production site of Reconvilier is specialized in small diameters of wires and rods
- Dornach :Solothurn – Switzerland. The production site of Dornach is specialized in complex and high precision profiles.
History[modifier | modifier le code]
- 1855 A rolling mill and foundry, Bueche, Boillat & Cie., was founded in Reconvilier in the Bernese Jura.
- 1895 A rolling mill and foundry was founded in Dornach and operated under the name Schweizerische Metallwerke AG Dornach. Both companies were started and grew in response to the Swiss Watch industry’s demand for precision metal products for watch gears and plates.
- 1900 - 1986 At the start of the 20th century, the development of the two plants ran in parallel. Pressing and drawing lines were added to the rolling mills. Production expanded to include brass rods and later wires for the developing high speed Swiss CAM use. Over the years, extrusion presses were added; drawing capabilities were increased; and the rolling mills and foundries steadily expanded. The product range grew along with the expansion of the production facilities. Boillat focused increasingly on small and medium dimensions, while Dornach concentrated on medium and large dimensions.
- 1986 - 2006 As a result, Boillat produced wires, rods and small profiles for writing instruments, electronics, and precision turning industry. Dornach concentrated on manufacturing larger diameter rods, profiles and strips. These were sold primarily to the electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, lock, watch and clock, construction and precision turning industries. The automotive and Aerospace industries were added to the list of customers; not least thanks to special alloys such as those produced on the Osprey spray forming system at Boillat. In Dornach, investment in a continuous conform extrusion plant led to advances in copper profile production, complementing an already broad range of profiles in brass and bronze for numerous applications
- 2007 The watch-making industry discovered the alloy NP6 for its integral precision parts. The high-performance alloys in demand by the aviation industry corresponded very closely with the alloy CN8. This material has since been certified by aircraft manufacturers for critical wearing parts.
- 2008 Presentation of the new extrusion press at the Dornach site. At full capacity, the technical wonder is able to replace five outdated presses.
- 2013 Baoshida Swissmetal purchased both sites. Today, we are proud to present you Baoshida Swissmetal, withits headquarters in Reconvilier, Bernese Jura, Switzerland.
