Crevoisier

What Crevoisier does

Crevoisier SA is a privately-held Swiss manufacturer of high-precision CNC machine tools, founded in 1966 and headquartered in Les Genevez in the Jura region. The company designs and builds equipment for machining, grinding, drilling, decorating, lapping, satin-finishing, and polishing of complex parts, serving watchmaking, jewellery, microtechnology, leather goods, medical, aerospace, and automotive customers. Its product portfolio is split into manual machines (the DSG2 and SLINE2 polishing station ranges offered in COMFORT, SHORT, and COMPACT variants, the C530 jewellery making station, the C502C satin-finishing machine, and the C5020 double disc lapping machine) and automatic machines (the C48, C424, and C440 grinding centers, the C606 decorating machine, the C33 drilling machine, the C101 bracelet trimmer, and the C710 collaborative polishing cell with UR3e cobot). Automation is extended via C910/C920 palletizers and C922/C924 loading robots, with the latter supporting 24/7 production, RFID work order linking, vision packs, and OPC-UA 4.0 connectivity. Core proprietary technology includes the PoliCapture software (trajectory and force recognition enabling teach-by-demonstration polishing), CAD/CAM integration with 3D simulation, and polymer concrete machine frames for rigidity and thermal stability.

The business model is enterprise B2B hardware sales: machines are not publicly priced and are sold via 'Request a quote' through a direct sales team plus regional channel partners (TBRP in France, HS Walsh & Sons in the UK, BECO-TECHNIC in Germany, and distributors across Southeast Asia, East Asia, Australia/New Zealand, and the USA). A complementary e-commerce platform (eshop.crevoisier.ch) supports a configurator for machines and accessories and a small branded merchandise storefront. Demand generation relies heavily on trade shows (EPHJ, SIAMS, TWS, MICRONORA, T.Gold Vicenzaoro, Inhorgenta, Jewellery Show London) with live demonstrations, supplemented by training and after-sales service contracts. The company is independently operated with approximately 65 employees, including a 10-person R&D department, and has received multiple Industry 4.0 innovation awards (i4 Challenge 2019, Shapers 2020) and the Prix SVC Suisse Romande 2022.
