What Swiss-Tech does

Swiss-Tech, LLC is a privately held precision contract manufacturer founded in 1965 and headquartered in a 45,000 sq ft facility in Delavan, Wisconsin. The company produces custom Swiss-machined components using CNC Swiss-type turning (Citizen L12X, L20X, L32X), CNC milling/turning, and finish machining (deburring/polishing), operating a dedicated prototype cell equipped with NEXTURN SA12B and SA(PYII) machines. Production is governed by an Epicor ERP system with end-to-end traceability, in-process inspection (Keyence IM-7020, XRF material verification), and Statistical Process Control for micron-level tolerances.

Swiss-Tech serves large global enterprise customers in four verticals: medical devices and equipment, aerospace, high-end industrial, and (more recently) munitions. It sells through a direct enterprise field-sales motion with a quote-based pricing model, multi-year contracts, and pricing driven by part complexity, material, tolerance, and volume. The company holds ISO 9001:2015, AS 9100 D (aerospace), ISO 13485 (medical devices, noted expiration March 24, 2024), and ITAR, DFARS, and NIST compliance, qualifying it for regulated and defense-related work.

The business is owned by BERKS Group, a Kansas City capital investments firm that acquired Swiss-Tech in January 2019 with the existing executive team remaining in place. Swiss-Tech differentiates through 60 years of process know-how, a deep bench of long-tenured Swiss-type machinists (including a formal Gateway Technical College training pipeline), advanced Citizen/NEXTURN equipment, and documented quality outcomes (zero lost-time injuries in 2017, 100% conformance to print, high Cpk over millions of parts). Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the company employs 11–50 people across a single U.S. site.
