What they make

According to their website, ETS Gaston Perrollaz is a French precision turning (décolletage) company based in Magland, Haute-Savoie, founded in 1936 by Gaston Perrollaz and still family-run, now under Jean-Luc Moenne-Loccoz, the founder's grandson. The company machines turned parts from 1.20 mm to 80 mm in diameter, cut from bar stock up to 3 meters long, in small, medium and large production runs. Its machine park includes mobile-headstock and fixed-headstock CNC lathes from Citizen, Tsugami, Biglia and Star, alongside Wickman multi-spindle cam automatics and a Wirth et Gruffat transfer machine with six automatic loading stations. Materials processed include steel, stainless steel, brass, aluminum, copper, bronze, and plastics such as Delrin, nylon, PVC, polyamide, polypropylene and PTFE. In-house operations extend to cylindrical and plunge grinding, part washing, and 100% automated camera-based inspection and sorting. Programming is done with ESPRIT CAM software, and a 3D printer produces tooling and fixtures. The company is ISO 9001:2015 certified and holds the Coq Vert environmental label, and it supplies parts to aerospace, medical device, nuclear, connector, pneumatics and plastics-industry customers.
