Our products

Non-precious metals

From La Chaux-de-Fonds in Switzerland, to Penang in Malaysia, PX PRECIMET and SWISS PROFILE are benchmarks in shaped non-precious metal semi-finished products. Sections, tubes and wires are produced according to customer requirements.

NON-PRECIOUS METAL PROFILES

Wide or shaped non-precious metal profiles are an inherent part of PX’s in-house tailored solutions, tailored to every customer’s requirements.

Certain complex profiles are produced by cold rolling or drawing, with on occasion continuous machining in addition.
