Profiles and tubes

From precision wires to custom profiles and tubes, discover our versatile offer of precious metal forms engineered for function.

Precision tubes, custom profiles: infinite possibilities.

Profiles with sections of many different shapes can be developed and produced for any specific need through cold deformation processes, specifically rolling and drawing. From these geometries, we can obtain functional profiles for bracelets, clasps, casing and clasps attachments, crowns and buttons, reducing the amount of machining scrap to its minimum. Shaped profiles are directly developed from our customers’ designs.

Tubes of the most varied sections can be produced through continuous casting, rotary swaging and tube drawing following each specific need. Shaped tubes are produced from the specific requests of our clients.
