Michel Products

Michel develops customer-tailored, highly integrated and efficient production processes including the assembly of subsystems. It uses these processes to mass-produce functionally tested micro-mechanical parts with high degrees of precision and complexity. These components and assemblies are mainly dedicated to critical automotive, conusmer, construction & marine applications and watch components.

The access to the wide variety of additional technologies such as laser operations, high pressure and leakage tests in clean room supports and complements the traditional activities. By systematically harnessing this potential and the resulting synergies, Michel has established an outstanding position in its market.
