Not a few curious passersby looked on excitedly as the truck transformed into a generously proportioned, two-story showroom at its four train-station locations in Zürich, Biel, Geneva and La Chaux-de-Fonds. For the industry visitors, the truck was an innovative presentation space, offering the opportunity to learn about solutions and services along the entire precision-manufacturing process chain, in a compact and focused format. Samuel Vuadens, Managing Director of CHIRON Swiss, was clearly proud to present the Micro5 machining center live and to be able to show that »la petite« is a big deal when it comes to high-precision machining of delicate parts.

Jean-Daniel Lallemand, Technical Sales/Field Service at the CHIRON Group for French-speaking Switzerland, and the brains behind the micro on tour, says »Merci!« on behalf of all who took part. He can definitely see the benefits of repeating the exhibition concept, »In this small, special space we were able to really be attentive to our customers, so we had plenty of good, in-depth discussions. Another positive takeaway is that we became even closer with our partners who took part, and were able to directly point people to the appropriate offer as regards a complete solution – from tools to clamping materials, measuring and monitoring systems to lubricants. It was very well received and is motivation for everyone to maintain this close dialog in day-to-day business, too, and thereby keep offering our customers added value.«
