What distinguishes us is our high vertical range of manufacture at our location in Immensee. We offer a wide range of different manufacturing processes at our location in Immensee. Thanks to five-axis machining technology, there are hardly any limits for us in this area.
At Durrer, we have a large, modern machine park and a team of motivated mechanical specialists. They align with our thinking and always strive for the ideal solution. They can also produce any component, individually and precisely. With the 5-axis CNC milling and processing center we can offer almost unlimited possibilities, almost any 3D shape can be produced with the highest precision. This manufacturing method is particularly suitable for prototype and series production.
In addition, we take over all standard manufacturing processes, such as milling, turning, drilling, grinding or sawing in equally high quality. This makes us flexible, independent, and reliable, and keeps costs reasonable. Surface treatment and other processes such as eroding, laser cutting or sheet metal processing are carried out by our local partners.

Give your machine a second life.
Every machine and installation that has left our production facility still makes us incredibly proud. Our machines have a long life cycle. But this cycle can only be achieved with periodic service and maintenance.
Over the decades, and with today's fast-moving technological developments, not all spare parts can necessarily be re-procured. For this reason, many of our customers decide for a complete revision. In this case, all discontinued or no longer reproducible parts will be replaced by new technologies in our production facility and the machine will be made safe again for the next years or decades.
Theoretically, you will receive a refurbished machine with a wholly new internal system. This includes the mechanical components, the control systems and software. This improves the productivity of the machine, in some cases significantly, and the machine is adapted or retrofitted to your requirements.
