Di Giacopo Workshops

What Di Giacopo Workshops does

Officine Di Giacopo SA is a Swiss family-owned precision mechanical workshop founded in 1986 by Paolo Di Giacopo, operating from a single facility in Riazzino, Switzerland. The company delivers contract CNC machining services — turning, milling, grinding, sawing, precision measurement, and assembly — built around a modern machinery fleet that includes a VCF 850LSR II 5-axis machining center (3,000mm X-axis travel, integrated Ø800 rotary table), Hermle C 42 U MT and Kitamura HX500JA horizontal/vertical machining centers, and Doosan CNC lathes. Operations are supported by Hypermill CAD CAM software, SpaceClaim 3D modeling, and Infotime enterprise management software that enables 100% traceability on every part. The company holds ISO 9001 certification (since 2012) and DIN EN 15085-2 CL4 certification (since 2014) for railway welding components, along with IRIS, IQNet, SQS, and SVSS credentials.

The business serves medium and large enterprises across three principal verticals: the European rail transport industry (precision components certified to railway welding standards), the food processing equipment sector, and the machine construction sector. Revenue is generated through custom, quote-based, project-by-project pricing tied to part complexity, materials, and order volume, with multi-year contractual relationships. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, executed directly through Paolo Di Giacopo and Daniel Schaufelberger in Sales & Purchases, with no intermediaries or distributor channels. The company employs 12 permanent staff, remains privately held under family management (Paolo Di Giacopo as General Manager, Tanja Schaufelberger Di Giacopo as Manager RDQ, Luca Di Giacopo as Head of Workshop, and Daniel Schaufelberger in Sales & Purchases), and has no external investors or parent company. Marketing activity is minimal, relying on a trilingual website (Italian, English, German) and industry certifications as trust signals rather than outbound campaigns.
