Losone, Canton Ticino — On Friday 29.05.26 AGIE CHARMILLES proudly inaugurated the renewed Zandone site in Losone — a major milestone that celebrates both a deep-rooted heritage and a bold vision for the future of precision manufacturing. The opening ceremony brought together a distinguished gathering: representatives from the Canton Ticino and local authorities, partner companies integral to the project, employees, and members of the UNITED MACHINING Solutions management team. Together, they celebrated an achievement that reflects years of planning, investment, and commitment to excellence.
A Ribbon Cut Together
One of the most meaningful moments of the event was the ribbon-cutting ceremony, carried out side by side with the employees of the Zandone site. More than a formality, it was a symbolic step into a new chapter for a location that has shaped the evolution of EDM innovation for decades — and a recognition that the people who work here are at the heart of everything AGIE CHARMILLES builds.
65 Million CHF Invested Since 2014
This inauguration is the culmination of a long-term commitment to growth and innovation. Since 2014, AGIE CHARMILLES has invested 65 million CHF in the Zandone facilities, expanding the site by a total of 6,450 m². The transformation has created entirely new spaces designed to serve the full breadth of the company’s ambitions:
- Modern administrative offices fostering collaboration across teams
- A state-of-the-art showroom for customer and partner engagement
- Advanced R&D laboratories to accelerate innovation
- The AGIE CHARMILLES Academy, dedicated to skills development and training
- Expanded logistics and electronic production facilities
- Dedicated spaces for apprentices — nurturing the next generation of engineering talent
More Than a Renovation
The transformation of Zandone is far more than a building project. It is a bold investment in innovation, advanced technologies, and the spirit of collaboration that has always defined AGIE CHARMILLES. Every new space has been conceived with purpose — to attract talent, accelerate development, and strengthen the company’s position at the forefront of EDM technology.
For the apprentices who will now train in purpose-built facilities, and for the engineers whose R&D work will benefit from world-class laboratories, Zandone represents both a foundation and a launchpad.
Rooted in our legacy and driven by the future, AGIE CHARMILLES continues to shape what comes next.
