Petitpierre was recently featured in FH magazine, highlighting its evolution, innovations and pivotal role in the watchmaking and micromechanics industries.
Founded in 1973 in Cortaillod, Petitpierre has established itself over the decades as a key player thanks to its automation solutions, watchmaking tooling and subcontracting services. In recent years, the company has expanded its field of expertise with the development of 2D and 3D optical metrology tools such as lumen and drop, as well as the integration of H2i products.
These innovations in dimensional metrology enable Petitpierre to offer a complete range of solutions for more efficient 4.0 production, reducing set-up times and scrap, and improving quality.
The article also looks at the synergies implemented with Acrotec Group companies, including the creation of a single assembly machine for Générale Ressorts.
Finally, it underlines the managerial continuity ensured by the arrival of Vincent Rieder at the helm in 2023, as well as the company’s commitment to training the next generation, with the regular intake of apprentices in micromechanics and automation.
