Turned Small Parts and Metal Small Parts Production


Precision Turning and Custom Metal Small Parts


FAMIT has operated since 1960 in the field of turned small parts production and metal small parts production , placing precision, reliability and attention to every detail at the heart of its work. The company was founded in Milan as a very small craft business specializing in the production of turned small parts for the last Italian company that, at the time, manufactured cases for wristwatches. This was an industry in which precision was an essential requirement and which helped define FAMIT’s production philosophy from the outset. Attention to the smallest component became one of the company’s distinguishing features and continues to shape its approach to production today. Over the years, the experience gained in turned small parts production has enabled FAMIT to develop increasingly advanced technical expertise and address the market’s diverse requirements with a quality-focused approach. Every stage of the supply chain is managed with particular attention to machining precision and the characteristics required by the customer. This philosophy also guides the production of metal small parts , an area in which experience, technology and production capacity must come together to manufacture components with different dimensional and technical characteristics.

Turned Small Parts Production: Experience, Precision and CNC Technology


FAMIT’s growth has been accompanied by the ongoing modernization of its equipment and production technologies, with the aim of progressively improving flexibility and efficiency. Today, the turned small-parts production takes place at the Carbonate facility, in the province of Como, in a 3,500 sq m building, 2,000 of which are covered. In recent years, the company has completed a major renewal of its machine fleet, replacing its former cam-operated machines with CNC sliding-headstock and fixed-headstock automatic lathes. The production department has machines ranging from 4 to 10 axes, capable of machining diameters from 2 to 65 mm. This setup enables FAMIT to handle the production of turned small parts with a high degree of flexibility, meeting both requirements related to component geometry and the need to optimize production processes. CNC automatic lathes also combine precision, repeatability and efficiency—particularly important when producing large quantities of components while maintaining the required standards. Technological development has not changed the principle that has guided FAMIT since its beginnings: giving the utmost attention to detail. From the small craft workshop founded in 1960 to today’s production facility, the company has built its growth by combining experience and innovation, while maintaining a strong specialization in precision machining.

Small Metal Parts Manufacturing: Production Capacity and Attention to Detail


In metal small parts production, access to modern technologies and an established production organization makes it possible to handle significant volumes without compromising machining precision. FAMIT has an annual production capacity of more than 30 million pieces, a figure that reflects the company’s scale and its development over more than sixty years in business. The production of metal small parts is supported by a machine fleet made up exclusively of CNC sliding-headstock and fixed-headstock automatic lathes, selected to ensure flexibility and efficiency across different machining operations. The ability to work with diameters from 2 to 65 mm and to use machines equipped with 4 to 10 axes expands production possibilities and allows us to handle different types of components. Technology and production capacity, however, are only part of FAMIT’s identity. At the heart of the production of metal small parts is the company culture developed since its founding: paying attention even to the smallest component and treating every detail as decisive to the overall quality of the product. It is precisely this continuity between tradition and innovation that defines the company’s journey. The experience gained since 1960 is now combined with modern CNC equipment and an organized production structure designed to meet the needs of today’s market. FAMIT therefore continues to pursue a philosophy based on precision, technological development and attention to detail, putting its expertise in the production of turned small parts and the production of metal small parts at the service of its customers’ specific production requirements.
