New marketing training for SME’s

We all do marketing, sometimes even without knowing it… and sometimes we do not have the backbone structure to help us. The CIP in Tramelan (Switzerland) organizes a 4-day training to help partakers clarify their vision and build actual tools.

The training is based on projects for partakers and will help them answer a lot of questions like:

• What are our assets?
• What do I want to communicate?
• How to prepare the message?
• Who are my customers and what do they need?
• Why coming to my shop rather any other one?
• How to differentiate (or die)?
• Is my offer a WOW offer?

The new training will give answers to these questions and many more.

At the end of the training partakers are going to own a targeted project they can use on theirs markets.

It’s practical marketing, simply set up, without heavy theories…

Seems highly valuable.

The training will take place in French and you can download all the necessary information here:

The micronmaker…

Precision is one of the essential elements in high precision turning. Therefore companies looking for ultra precision feed their machines with bars whose dimensions and surface finishes are fully mastered and guaranteed. A company provides these to them. Meeting with Ms. Anne-Marie Liechti, Director of the company of the same name located in Moutier, in the heart of the world of high precision turning.

Deep understanding of the material
“The company was founded in 1939 in order to make machines and tooling and from this time we had to learn to master grinding. As early as 1969 we’ve started the activity of centerless grinding” says Ms Liechti. With 42 years of experience in this type of operations, we may think that the company “knows everything” but no. Ms. Liechti seeks tirelessly to improve processes and develop the company. She says: “I grew up with this company, the metal we are dealing with is not inert and over the years, we have learned to really feel it, we are really in affinity with it”.

At the micron scale
And it’s better to be in affinity with the material to be able to machine it with such quality. Precision as well as surfaces finishes are of course dependent on the requests of customers. We talk about dimensional tolerances in the order of a few microns on bars long of several meters and surface finishes in the order of Ra 0.10 or 0.20 Ra..
Finished parts reach also high specifications, for example Ms. Liechti shows me an automotive injection component whose diameter should stay in a range of 2 microns.

No doubt about quality…
When we produce in so tight tolerances, any drift leads very quickly out of range. For this reason, the company controls 100% of its production. Ms. Liechti says: “In the example of the automotive part that I’ve shown you, we have a margin of two microns, each piece coming out of the machine is controlled and must reach +/-1 µ, i.e. being in the centre of the tolerance. If a drift is found, the next piece is corrected. We check also 100% of the bars we machine”. And it is not without pride that Ms. Liechti explains that for several decades, she has no memories of any return of machined merchandise.

Liechti SA is looking for people
To cope with the growth of its activities, the company is looking for one or more skilled professional in technology or microtechnology. The profile? A person with good base of mechanics, age about 30 years and looking for a stable position. Workplace: Moutier (Switzerland). In case of interest, you can contact Ms. Liechti at the coordinates indicated at the end of the article.

A rare combination
Liechti SA combines two essential elements that make up its success*. This combination is no secret, there is nothing revolutionary, but its implementation is not that simple.
At Liechti SA, it works… and wow in what a way!
