Lamineries MATTHEY

What Lamineries MATTHEY does

Lamineries MATTHEY is a Swiss precision metals manufacturer founded in 1901 in La Neuveville, Switzerland, operating since July 2017 as a branch of Notz Metall AG within the NOTZgroup. The company specializes in cold-rolled thin strips and foils (0.005 mm to 3 mm thickness, up to 500 mm width), as well as rods, wires, and tubes in over 90 different alloys — including copper beryllium, maraging steels, cobalt superalloys (L-605, Phynox, MP35N), nickel alloys (Inconel, Hastelloy, Monel), stainless steels, titanium, and specialty copper-nickel-tin alloys such as ToughMet 3. Its core manufacturing capability is precision cold rolling with proprietary tolerance grades (LMSA standard, precision, and extreme) that exceed EN European standards, complemented by in-house heat treatment enabling mill-hardened rod delivery.

The company generates revenue through direct B2B sales of cold-rolled strip/foil, rods/wires/tubes, and custom commissioning (toll processing of customer-supplied materials including rolling, slitting, levelling, and heat treatment). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers submit RFQs with material, tolerance, quantity, and temper specifications and receive tailored quotes. Lamineries MATTHEY serves the connector industry (primary), watchmaking, medical devices, aerospace, relays and switches, automotive, semiconductor, and telecommunications sectors. It holds exclusive Swiss distribution rights for Materion copper-beryllium alloys (M25, CuBe2Pb, C17300, ToughMet 3, CuBe2 Emery Low Lead).

The go-to-market is enterprise field sales with a key-account team based at the Swiss site, supported by regional distributors R. Kurt Burde & Co. (Austria/Slovenia) and Koot Metals (Netherlands/Benelux). Marketing is primarily technical, using downloadable data sheets, an online strip calculator, hardness conversion tools, and an MSDS library as demand-generation assets. The customer base is globally distributed but served largely from a single Swiss production site, and consignment stock is offered to key accounts. Regulatory certifications (ISO 9001:2015, AD 2000, REACH, RoHS 3, conflict minerals compliance) underpin access to regulated medical, aerospace, and pressure-equipment end markets.
