DUMONT SA CELEBRATED ITS 125TH ANNIVERSARY IN 2006
 |
Long years of hard work have made Dumont SA into the world’s leading manufacturer of precision tweezers and forceps. While Dumont tools are unquestionably the fruit of five generations of invested labour working in the purest tradition of Swiss quality manufacturing, they are also spring from the passion and the dedication to essential values of the company’s current directors, Nicole Sgobero and her two sons, Richard and David. The tweezers and forceps produced by Dumont in Montignez are used, among others by the world’s leading watchmakers, surgeons, electronic engineers and biologists. |
Today, Dumont SA is a leader in its branch and an innovator in the field of technology and the environment. The company, founded 125 years ago by Arnold Dumont, has proven its ability to meet the economic and family challenges of the third millennium and create a successful blend of manufacturing efficiency, human values and ecological considerations.
UNDER THE MAGNIFYING GLASS
 |
Dumont SA boasts a catalogue of some 3,200 tweezers and forceps, 12% of which are destined for the watch-making industry, 50% for the medical branch, and the remainder for the biology and electronics sectors. 95% of the company’s production is exported. The company is located in Montignez, a village with 250 inhabitants in the “Ajoie” district of the Canton of Jura in the north-western corner of Switzerland. |
Dumont currently employs a staff of 64. Thanks to its manufacturing flexibility and the extreme precision of its production, where quantity is synchronized with quality, Dumont is more than holding its own in the face of competition from the Far East. The company continues to fly the “Swiss Made” flag today and is on the lookout for partners who live by that same ethos. |
