Tungsten Carbide manufacturer in precision- and micromechanics
Since its foundation, EXTRAMET AG has focussed on its core competence. The production of extruded carbide. Today, we are a carbide manufacturer and solution partner for our customers in the high-tech industry.
Our industry solutions: innovative precision
EXTRAMET AG focuses on innovation, precision, and high technology. We develop and manufacture milling and drill blanks for the automotive and aerospace industries, offering solutions in precision and micromechanics. Our innovations extend to the food and packaging industries, as well as high-quality blanks for medical technology and high-performance ceramics for the dental industry.
Aerospace Industry
A key factor for success in the aerospace industry is weight reduction. Passenger aircraft must become lighter and more efficient. The materials used in aircraft building provide tooling with new challenges.
Automotive Industry
Rising commodity prices, higher demands on process reliability and ever more complex product requirements: The automotive industry relies on highly productive, flexible solutions for their manufacturing process. This is what we offer to renowned tool manufacturers and suppliers.
Microtechnology
Until now, a Swiss watch company used wire eroded tools made of hardened steel for stamping out the surface structure of watch bezels. Using this method our partner was then only getting a tool life of 20-30 pieces. When they came to us they asked if we could find a solution that would not only give them a more economic result but also will offer a cosmetic appeal as well.
Food and Packaging Industry
The valves used in the industrial homogenization of milk are subject to tremendous wear. Partnering with a Swiss leader in milk processing, we found several productivity-enhancing solutions.
Medical Technology
New materials in dental technology provide tools for demanding tasks. Because safety and accuracy must always be guaranteed during a medical procedure – even with materials that are difficult to machine.
Working
at EXTRAMET
EXTRAMET AG is the leading Swiss manufacturer of carbide with worldwide distribution.
As a family business with over 150 employees, we act with a high level of ecological, corporate and social responsibility. Our motto is: WORK SMART, NOT HARD. Because we believe in a good work-life balance that promotes productivity and satisfaction.
We live for Challenges
From carbide to digitised aircraft production
A decisive cornerstone for the development of digitised aircraft assembly is tungsten carbide. Thus, scientists at TUHH Germany, in cooperation with a competent network, succeeded in taking a major step towards error-free and efficient aircraft production.
