About Pro Tool AG

Pro Tool AG is a machining services company established in 1995 and based in Herzogenbuchsee, Switzerland. The company manufactures precision components using CNC turning, CNC milling, surface grinding, sink erosion, wire erosion, and hole erosion. All machinable materials are processed; the eroding processes additionally cover conductive materials. The manufacturing includes prototypes, single pieces, small and large series, and is conducted with Just-in-Time deliveries according to strict quality standards. Workpiece sizes range up to 900 × 500 × 400 mm in milling and up to 1600 kg workpiece weight in large sink erosion. Since 2021, Pro Tool AG has been part of the CAPCELLENCE Group.
