Swissness
EXTRAMET is the largest independent manufacturer of extruded tungsten carbide components in Switzerland. Our head office and manufacturing facility are located in the western Swiss Prealps.
Most of our staff come from the region and enjoy the benefits of living and working where others take their holidays. For the future we will continue with our location in Plaffeien, Canton of Fribourg.
Those parts of the micromachinery industry that are located in Switzerland (and have been our clients from the start) have always demanded high precision. As a Swiss company, like them, we provide the highest level of quality. From the outset we have implemented these standards of precision and accuracy and have constantly optimised them.
Switzerland is not only a country of traditions, but also of innovation. We enhance the quality of our products through the work of our research and development team, who are continuously refining our products. This improves our knowledge and understanding when applying this know-how.
EXTRAMET uses Switzerland's innovative power to implement forward looking projects around the world, working together with science and industry.
