Much more than a cutting tool manufacturer

Since 1985, Vasconi has been one of the privileged partners of the greatest Swiss watch manufacturers. The alliance of goldsmith know-how with highly qualified teams, with undeniable manual know-how and a high-performance machine park. This specificity has allowed, over the past 10 years, the company to become one of the leaders in its market by offering high-precision cutting tools to increasingly varied sectors, such as medical and dental, but also micromechanics, connectors or aerospace.
