Synova SA

Synova S.A., headquartered in Duillier, Switzerland, develops, manufactures and sells advanced laser machining systems that incorporate its proprietary water jet guided laser technology (Laser MicroJet®) in a true industrial CNC platform. The hybrid Laser MicroJet (LMJ) method of machining combines a laser with a "hair-thin" water jet that precisely guides the laser beam by means of total internal reflection. Synova’s 3 and 5-axis machines allow fast and precise machining of a wide range of materials, from metals to ultra-hard and brittle materials such as diamond or ceramic, to complex composites – without thermal damage, debris deposition and taper. The company has delivered over 500 machines worldwide, designed for applications such as drilling cooling holes in turbine blades, faceting rough diamond stones and processing semiconductor equipment consumables. The Synova group employs over 130 people worldwide, including 40 engineers, who mainly focus on researching new material cutting solutions, further applications and laser cutting equipment. Aside from research, both the final assembly and testing of up to 100 machines a year are performed in Synova’s modern, 3000 square meter facility in Duillier. Synova has established subsidiaries in the USA, Japan, India, Korea, Germany, China, South Africa and the United Arab Emirates for optimized customer support. Synova is a company with global reach focused on delivering high quality solutions and services to its customers wherever they are. We strongly believe that the motor of our success and growth are our technology, experience and dedication to our customers.
