For over 30 years MICROMETAL Srl has been providing screws almost invisible to the naked eye – as little as 0.3mm in diameter – to a variety of industries worldwide, with a focus on accurate tight tolerances.

Using single spindle sliding head and CNC Swiss-type machines, MICROMETAL produces high-quality small diameter fasteners for industries including eyewear, automotive and electronics – where high precision components are needed.

The company outlines: “Our core business remains precision screws, but in recent years the custom sector has increased significantly, with customised items becoming the most requested by customers. When a customer has problems our technical office works closely with them to understand the product’s use and functionality to create modifications or new choices of materials or treatments, as well as develop new reliable, high-quality products.”

In order to maintain this high-quality, MICROMETAL focuses on the speed and efficiency of its production processes – with new machines including automated quality control for 100% selection. The company also has plans to expand its production area at the beginning of 2025.

“Every year we try to invest in new machines both for production needs and to update the machine park. In the last two years we have invested nearly €600,000 in new machines in order to satisfy our customers,” comments MICROMETAL. 

In 2023 MICROMETAL increased production by 15% compared to the previous year, exceeding 95 million pieces sold. With over 40 years of know-how, quality, and competence, the company is looking to the future to identify new markets and continued growth.
