FME Feinmechanik

What FME Feinmechanik does

FME Feinmechanik AG is a Switzerland-based precision mechanics manufacturer founded in 1999 (converted from GmbH to AG in 2001), headquartered in Buchberg, and operating from a single production site at Wieswandstrasse 2. The company manufactures high-precision mechanical components for customers in medical technology (primary segment), pharmaceutical, textile machinery, and automation, offering an end-to-end workflow that spans technical design consultation, prototyping, and serial production. Manufacturing capability is unusually broad for a job shop of this footprint: precision turning (Ø0.2mm–Ø250mm), 5-axis milling, 5-axis wire EDM with up to 45° deflection, selective laser sintering (SLS) in stainless steel and titanium, SLA 3D printing for plastic prototypes, plastic injection molding from 100 units via international partners, robotic automation for 24/7 production, full assembly and subassembly, surface finishing (mechanical, galvanic, electropolishing, diamond coatings), and ISO 9001:2015-certified quality assurance with 100% part inspection using Hexagon, Keyence, and 3D microscopy up to 1000x magnification.

The business is operated under FME Holding (established 2018) and, since 2024, has been a subsidiary of POLYGENA. Jan Kuron serves as Managing Director (Geschäftsführer). The revenue model is quote-based B2B contract manufacturing with no publicly disclosed pricing; distribution is direct to industrial customers with no intermediaries, supported by a modest company website and direct phone/email contact. No headcount, revenue, customer logos, patents, or funding data are publicly disclosed, and there is no claim of AI/ML capability.

Strategically, the firm has compounded incremental capability since 2009 — new facility, 2010 merger with Swiss Feinmechanik, 2018 investments in laser, automation, and high-end metrology under FME Holding, 2023 production-hall expansion with new laser/ultrasound/chemical-deburring processes, and 2024 ownership change to POLYGENA. The combination of ISO-certified quality documentation, multi-technology depth, and 25+ years of operating history positions FME as a long-tenured Swiss precision supplier, while the POLYGENA acquisition is the most material recent signal of prospective scale-up, M&A consolidation, or exit under new ownership.
