Aluminium Cabinets as brand label: Loudspeakers from PIEGA
30.11.2022
For over 35 years, PIEGA has been building and developing high-end loudspeakers to perfection. The collectors' items are manufactured in Switzerland. The unmistakable aluminium cabinets are the brand label of the family-owned company based in Horgen on Lake Zurich. The material aluminium offers several advantages: It is light, has high strength and can be processed in many ways. This makes it possible to create complex cabinet shapes that have a positive effect on the sound.

Insights from the production
In Stans at the BWB surface technology factory, the PIEGA cabinet parts are milled, marked, sanded and anodised. CNC machining requires several work steps with almost twenty different tools. These remove material, round edges and mill threads. The smallest milling tool with a diameter of half a millimetre draws the logo into the surface.
Accurate measuring of the workpieces is indispensable for a convincing end result.
More than anodising
"Parts up to a dimension of 3'000x600x700mm can be machined on our CNC machines. A machining centre with automatic loading system enables efficient processing of small to large series," says Thomas Furger, head of the mechanical department at BWB-Betschart AG.
His team offers finished aluminium components from a single source - from material procurement to mechanical processing and surface finishing.
