CERN MME Machining Workshop
Precision manufacturing for frontier physics
Our Mission
Delivering Critical Components for CERN’s Accelerator Complex and Experiments
From precision machining to mechanical assembly, we deliver critical parts and proof-of-concept components for CERN’s accelerator complex and experiments. Our machine tool maintenance team ensures the readiness of CERN machine park to meet new challenges every day.
See How We Can Help You
Multi-technology Know-how for complex engineering challenges.
Building on more than 70 years of expertise, we support accelerator upgrade programs, maintain essential components in perfect condition, and respond to urgent needs. Each project is delivered with the precision, reliability and attention to detail required to keep world-class science moving forward.
Our team of engineers and technicians handle precise mechanical assembly of systems designed for extreme environments — ultra-high vacuum, cryogenics, radiation. Our in-house team installs, services, and maintains CNC systems and manufacturing machinery to ensure continuous, reliable workshop performance.
