Mekoprint Microturn invests in the next growth phase within micro turning

Our current machines have been running around the clock, which left us with less room to develop and fine-tune prototype processes. Now we have the flexible machine capacity needed to ensure growth in ongoing projects as well as in the initiation of new ones

Targeted capacity expansion

Following strong growth and rising demand for precision micro components, Mekoprint Microturn is now investing in three new Citizen Swiss-type automatic lathes. The investment strengthens micro-turning production capacity to meet demand from industries from defense and drone technology to medical equipment and hearing aids.

Strong market growth drives expansion

Micro components are increasingly essential in modern technology, as products become smaller and more complex. Mekoprint Microturn is experiencing this development firsthand as revenue has increased by more than 20% since 2024, and in the first half of 2025 alone, more than 19 million micro-turned components were produced.

New machines secure capacity and flexibility

The three new Citizen Swiss-type lathes are already installed at Mekoprint’s micro turning facilities in Støvring and Humlebæk in Denmark. The machines are intended both to secure capacity for existing projects and to make room for new collaborations without compromising on precision, quality, or delivery times. They are a key step toward future-proofing the company’s production.

When working with micro components down to a diameter of just 0.1 mm, even the smallest deviations are critical. This requires close collaboration, which is why we invite the customer directly into the production

Precision through close customer collaboration

Close customer collaboration is a core part of Mekoprint Microturn’s business, leading to new and more efficient ways of working. Customers bring their specifications and measuring equipment directly into the production, where testing and measurement happen together in real time.

This setup allows for quick clarification of tolerances, methods, and scalability, resulting in faster decisions and a more efficient process that benefits both time and budget.

To support this collaboration, Mekoprint Microturn continuously invests in advanced machinery that meets future demands, reinforcing its position as a frontrunner in industries where precision, speed, and cost-efficient volume matter

Facts about the investment

Since Mekoprint acquired 67% of Microturn in 2022, Mekoprint has become one of the leading suppliers of micro-turned components in the Nordics.

The area is supplemented with micro-milled components and precision sheet-metal solutions as needed for each individual customer.

Both factories have Citizen swiss-type lathes in advance. The three new investments are placed on both factories
The main purpose is to keep up with rising demand and secure capacity at both micro-turning factories
Mekoprint Microturn manufactures components to customers in several different industries, such as:
- Medico: components for hearing aids and dental equipment
- Defense industry: components for drone technology
