OUR COMPANY, BERGEON SA

Active for more than two centuries alongside those who have set out to master time.

It is a major objective to acquire the status of Manufacture. This transformation, which began almost 10 years ago, is now a concret activity in which more than 60% of our collaborators are dedicated to the production of equipment and tools marketed by Bergeon. Until the end of the 2010s, we mainly produced small series and prototypes with a fleet of 3 CNC machines and conventional equipment over an area of 150 m².

Since then, the machining sector has continued to grow and now occupies an area of over 1,500 m². AS a result, we have gradually acquired a state-of-the-art machine fleet with around fifteen CNC machines, including several equipped with loading robots and bar feeders, allowing us to produce a large part of our products labeled «Bergeon Manufactured».

Our company, although strongly integrated in the design and manufacture of this new product line, continues to work closely with the network of sub-contractors / regional partners, with strong industrial skills. It is also with them that we make some of our products that we carry out with the Swiss Made label. This network of subcontractors is a real necessity for us in view of the great diversity of products that make up our «Essential» range.

Installed since the end of 2017 in our new premises, at the Allée des Défricheurs in La Chaux-de-Fonds, we deploy our industrial activities on nearly 4000 m². Today we integrate into our industrial process, R + D, methods, Quality, CNC production in bar turning, turning, milling, stamping, cylindrical and flat grinding as well as laser engraving. In addition, there are two assembly and packaging workshops where all our products are assembled and packaged, guaranteeing the outstanding quality of our manufactured products. Thus, nearly 40 employees make up the continuously developing industrial sector.

To ensure the activities of Bergeon SA, we must add close to 20 people who make up the Human Resources, Commercial, Marketing and Supply Chain sectors. Finally, 10 employees from the logistics sector complete our workforce.

In the end, 70 collaborators in Switzerland and 3 in China and Hong Kong are working to perpetuate a long tradition of equipment manufacturers in the Swiss and international watchmaking sector, through a wide range of products sold in more than 110 countries.

Finally, it is worth mentioning that as a training company, we train about ten apprentices in the commercial, technical and logistics sectors.

This transition as a manufacturer also opens up prospects in fields other than watchmaking and now, we also position ourselves in the fields of microtechnology and Med Tech. It is to meet the new qualitative and environmental organizational requirements that we are in the process of ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certifications.

Today, it is through a proactive approach called «Global Concept» which proposes to realize "turnkey" technical solutions that our company presents itself in the various markets where we are active.
