Precision engineering expertise

Six areas of expertise

Our expertise is based on six unique areas of competence, developed in collaboration with some of our most demanding customers.

This structure enables us to integrate cutting-edge R&D and diversified production capacities under a single roof, capable of meeting the needs of both small production runs requiring flexibility and responsiveness, and large-scale production, particularly for road cars and motorcycles. A modern, customized quality system underpins all our processes, guaranteeing optimum performance levels.

Materials

A leading group in the use of titanium since the 1970s, Del West has continually enhanced and evolved its knowledge of high-performance materials. Always an expert in the selection of metal alloys for demanding applications and failure analysis when needed, our know-how has expanded dramatically over the last two decades. Today, we offer the development of unique alloys and metal matrix composites (MMC), titanium, aluminum, steel, magnesium, inter-metallic compounds and other composite and alloy systems.

Fabrication

Our plants in California, Ohio and Switzerland have extensive turning, multi-axis milling, grinding and forging capabilities. Thanks to our modern production facilities, we can meet the most varied needs and demanding specifications.

Surface engineering

A wide range of surface technologies is available in our workshops. Whether grinding, surface finishing or polishing, our teams are ready to meet any challenge. Our offer also includes specialized coatings, such as micro-arc oxidation, PVD and plasma spraying.

Assembly

Whether assembling watch cases for the most prestigious watch brands, pressure regulation systems for Formula 1 racing, or mass-produced valve actuation systems, Del West has the skills and resources required.

Quality

The impeccable quality of our products is at the heart of our history and identity. Rooted in a genuine culture of high precision, indispensable in Formula 1, this requirement is ensured by state-of-the-art three-dimensional and optical measuring instruments, as well as by the skills of our quality control and assurance teams. The culture of visual inspection of our products completes our quality offering.

R&D

Our Research & Development (R&D) team feeds off your challenges! It draws on four distinct centers of expertise: materials science, design & simulation, testing, and industrialization. We master every stage in imagining the innovations of tomorrow.
