Precision, reliability and durability are the hallmarks of the millions of components manufactured day after day out of Swissmetal materials for use in the production of watches, writing instruments and spectacles. Our precision rods, wires (in drums or coils), highly complex sections, strips and stamped watch movement blanks are highly regarded by the makers of prestigious brandname products.

For manufacturers of writing instruments our production range includes:

• Brass rods for the longitudinally bored barrels of ballpoint pens or the production of retraction mechanisms;
• Wire and rods of brass and nickel silver for the production of the ball-points.

Dependable, consistent product quality over decades has won manufacturers over to using brass ball-points. The in-time development of the Swissmetal Group’s nickel silver alloys containing manganese accelerated the new trend towards silver coloured ball-points made of highly corrosionresistant alloys. Nickel silver alloy ball-points are also more comfortable to write with
