MPS opened its new unit in Court

Three production units have now been brought together at the new site, which currently employs 39 people. This high-level environment covering an area of around 3,400 square metres offers the MPS group expansion possibilities in line with its strategy and provides the parent company with a skills centre of the highest calibre in the field of profile-turning.

This efficient new factory is capable of producing finished parts for the watch industry, as well as micromotors and components for the medical industry and connector technology. In addition, thanks to a large installation of solar panels, nearly 165,000 KW of electricity will be produced each year.

The MPS group, composed of MPS Micro Precision Systems SA, MPS Décolletage SA and MPS Precimed SA, founded in 1936 under the name RMB and acquired in 2003 by the Faulhaber Group (Schönaich, Germany), has its headquarters in Bienne, and today employs nearly 400 people in the medical, micro-engineering and watch industries.

MPS Décolletage, formerly Marcel Frey SA, was founded in 1929 in Court and acquired Marius Gerber SA in 2011 (Sorvilier) and Rolla Décolletage SA (Court) in 2013.
