- In machine tool territory -

In 1995 in Moutier, the historic territory of the machine tools, Sandrino Ricci and Laurent Mottaz founded the company Ricci & Mottaz Sàrl. In this region, the tradition of micromechanics has made it possible to spread and bequeath a culture of quality and high standards shared by all the company’s employees. To this exceptional traditional heritage, Ricci & Mottaz employees add their passion for their profession and their interest in cutting-edge technologies.

Initially equipped with automatic cam-operated lathes, the company quickly turned towards new types of digitally controlled equipment in order to anticipate the increasing expectations of its customers.

Ricci & Mottaz produces high-precision parts for fields as varied as sophisticated: electronics, medical and dental equipment, scuba diving equipment, metrology, green mobility, high pressure cutting, etc.

In 2006, in order to meet a need for expansion and to improve production flows, Ricci & Mottaz’s management bought and renovated the building currently housing its activities, in Les Evalins, in the industrial zone of Moutier. This key step was a turning point in the optimization of the company’s productivity.
