Microprecisione is a manufacturer of dental implants, prosthetic systems and surgical instruments as well as biomedical products, based in Modena, a city at the heart of the Emilia Romagna region in Italy. According to Antonella Ciarmoli, general manager at Microprecisione, the company prides itself in using state-of-the-art equipment and the best materials available on the market to create precision products that are designed to cater to the needs of the customer.
The company was founded in 1993 by three entrepreneurs with a passion for precision machining and today has 42 employees. Since its inception, Microprecisione has invested in and made full use of Swiss CNC machines, or Swiss-type (sliding headstock) lathes, from Switzerland-based Tornos to produce high-precision mechanical components. These machines allow its highly qualified team to create excellent products.
The three watchwords of Microprecisione are quality, reliability and stability. As Ciarmoli herself said, “We work with specialist companies in the dental and biomedical sectors, producing innovative products of exceptional quality and reliability. Thanks to our highly qualified team, we design, develop and manufacture cutting-edge dental implant systems, using state-of-the-art technology to guarantee the high quality of our products.”

Experience serving specialised customers
Microprecisione has been in Modena for three decades. Over the years, the company has continually improved on the technology it employs and today is well-known in Emilia Romagna for mechanical production excellence.
From its earliest days, Microprecisione has focussed on the dental market, specialising in the production of implants and prosthetic systems for third parties. Thanks to its constant commitment to upgrading and expanding its machinery, the company keeps pace with the latest technological developments.
In 2021, Microprecisione opened its new headquarters in Via Cavani 120, but retained the original production site in Via Del Tirassegno. The facilities between them have 12 of Tornos’ Swiss-type lathes, enabling the company to meet the individual requirements of its customers. Most of these are the current EvoDECO lathes, and the others are older models, namely the DECO 13 and Gamma.
“Our company has grown exponentially since 1993,” said Ciarmoli. “In 2021, our turnover increased by 45 percent to nearly €9 million, and we have already ordered new Tornos machines, EvoDECO of course.”
Key elements in the close collaboration between Tornos and Microprecisione are the competence and professionalism of Tornos area manager Massimo Lonardi. “Tornos is a reliable partner, constantly at our side, offering advice to enable us to produce certain essential parts in the field of dental implantology and prostheses,” enthused Ciarmoli. “Massimo Lonardi has always been there to help in selecting the right equipment […] to meet the needs of our company. We are delighted with this excellent collaboration.”
Microprecisione operates on the basis that relationships based on trust and reliability are fundamental and therefore staff turnover is very low. Ciarmoli has worked for the company for 27 years. “For women in this male-dominated work environment, it can be a real, ongoing challenge to be seen and heard as an equal,” she stressed. “That said, with the support of the founding partners Ferigo Renzo and the Mucchi brothers, and by making the most of the collaborative efforts of a cohesive and competent team, we are committed to finding solutions for our customers by implementing strategies aimed at developing and growing the company. My position of general manager is highly satisfying and allows me constantly to look into the latest innovations and continually changing technologies.”

Manufacturing products that exceed expectations
Microprecisione produces a wide range of high-quality dental implants, prosthetic systems and surgical instruments to meet the requirements of professionals in the sector. Furthermore, the company designs and develops customised solutions that meet the specific requirements of customers, from small companies to large-scale distribution networks.
In the past, the versatility of the Tornos machines has allowed Microprecisione to also machine parts for the automotive and aerospace industries, as well as for printing and bonding systems.
The company creates products based on drawings or samples and often collaborates to solve any problem that might prevent a product from functioning, offering help and advice to the customer from the design stage onwards.
The main aim of Microprecisione is to provide the customer with products that exceed expectations in terms of quality. This is achieved thanks to specialised technical staff who, with modern computerised profile projectors, ensure quality control throughout the entire manufacturing process.
