TOFF Drehteile AG

What TOFF Drehteile AG does

TOFF Drehteile AG is a privately held, family-owned Swiss precision engineering firm headquartered in Kaiserstuhl (AG), operating for over 60 years under three generations of the Toff family. The company manufactures custom CNC-turned and CNC-milled parts — including bar processing up to Ø65mm, jaw chuck work up to Ø180mm, collet work Ø4-60mm, and 3-axis milling with optional 4-axis indexing — using a modern machine park anchored on Nakamura-Tome lathes and a Takisawa milling center. It supplies industrial manufacturers in German-speaking Switzerland through direct, quote-based B2B sales, with publicly named reference customers Soudronic AG, Kummler+Matter AG, Schleuniger AG and Ruggli AG representing long-term relationships. Pricing is quote-based on custom work and no public price list exists.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-off custom manufacturing orders, supplemented by two non-core assets: Pointswiss racket stringing machines (acquired 2016) and Kerzenständer candle holders (launched 2022, planned for D2C web shop sales from 1 unit). Distribution is exclusively direct — phone, email, contact form for industrial buyers; planned own web shop for candle holders. No external funding, no PE/VC involvement, and no listing; the company is wholly family-controlled with roughly 5–10 employees including long-tenured production staff.
