History

Our philosophy

Our business, traditionally independent, can trace its roots back to the regional watchmaking and micro-technology industries. Hence we know the true value of trust and partnerships. That is why we attach importance to our relationships with our customers, our business partners and employees.

As a living organisation, we need steadfastness as much as progress, and stability as much as dynamism. We rely on our solid experience, remain alert to new developments and invest in continuous professional development. We conduct a measured diversification policy, and are constantly developing in line with our capacities and our environment. In our thinking and our action we are looking at the long term, and are part of a sustainable development approach.

Automation is our core business, and our full attention is focused on the players concerned.
