Precision CNC Machining
Our equipment features thermal‑compensated spindles, vibration‑damping structures, and closed‑loop feedback systems, enabling positional accuracy to ±0.002 mm and repeatability under ±0.001 mm. Multi‑axis mills and Swiss‑style lathes handle micro‑features, deep bores, and tight radii in a single setup, minimizing part handling and error.
Material selection spans stainless steels, titanium, Inconel, and high‑performance polymers like PEEK. Custom fixtures and vacuum chucks ensure part stability, while in‑process probing verifies dimensions during machining. This adaptive control compensates for tool wear and thermal drift in real time.
Surface quality is equally rigorous: we achieve finishes down to Ra 0.2 μm with precision grinding, polishing, and micro‑blasting. Specialized coatings—hard chrome, diamond‑like carbon, or biocompatible passivation—enhance wear resistance and performance.
Quality assurance uses industry‑leading metrology: coordinate measuring machines (CMM), non‑contact laser scanners, and optical comparators capture high‑resolution data. Every batch ships with full inspection reports, SPC charts, and material certificates. XC Machining maintains ISO 9001, AS9100, and FDA registrations to meet stringent regulatory needs.
For critical parts where precision matters most, trust XC Machining's expertise in precision CNC machining.

Positive Points Sika AG (SKFOF) demonstrated resilience in challenging market conditions, achieving a 0.6% local currency growth despite a declining overall market. The company successfully expanded its EBITDA margin by 20% to 18.9%, driven by efficiencies and synergies. Sika AG (SKFOF) increased its MBCC synergy targets by EUR20 million for the ongoing year, highlighting effective integration efforts. The company completed four bolt-on acquisitions in roofing and building finishing, indicating active market consolidation efforts. Strong growth momentum was observed in regions like Southeast Asia and India, contributing positively to the overall performance. Negative Points Sales were adversely impacted by foreign exchange movements, particularly in Q2, where the Swiss franc strengthened significantly against the US dollar. The Americas region faced challenges due to tariff discussions, causing confusion among customers and impacting growth momentum. The Asia Pacific region, particularly China, experienced a decline in sales due to a deflationary market environment in the construction sector. Operating free cash flow decreased significantly compared to the previous year, partly due to higher working capital and unfavorable currency movements. The group tax rate increased from 22.4% to 25% in the first half of the year, affecting net profit margins. Q & A Highlights Q: Can you provide an update on the price over cost dynamics for the second half of the year and the situation in China? A: Adrian Widmer, CFO, explained that input costs have been broadly flat with some downward pressure expected in the second half. Pricing contributions were marginal in Q1 and slightly more in Q2, with a net impact of about 30 basis points. In China, the focus is on protecting margins through selective price increases and efficiency improvements, despite a deflationary environment. Q: Could you elaborate on the market share gains and regional performance, particularly in the US and China? A: Thomas Hasler, CEO, noted that Sika has outperformed the market by 2% to 3% in Europe and maintained a gap in the US despite a slowdown. In China, Sika has outperformed competitors facing significant profitability declines, although the market remains challenging. Q: What are the assumptions behind your 2028 growth targets, and how do you plan to address the decrease in operating free cash flow? A: Thomas Hasler, CEO, emphasized the validity of megatrends like urbanization and digitalization. The strategy includes a mix of market recovery, outperformance, and pricing. Adrian Widmer, CFO, explained that the decrease in cash flow is due to higher working capital and investments, which are expected to unwind in the second half. Q: How do you view the potential for EBITDA margin improvement and achieving a 20% margin? A: Adrian Widmer, CFO, stated that the 19.5% to 19.8% EBITDA margin guidance for this year is driven by synergies and cost efficiencies. The company aims for a 20% margin by 2026, supported by continued synergies and efficiency improvements. Q: Can you discuss the impact of European stimulus and M&A activities on Sika's growth? A: Thomas Hasler, CEO, mentioned that European stimulus, particularly in Germany, will boost renovation activities and demand for sustainable solutions. On M&A, the company sees opportunities in small to midsize acquisitions, with a healthy pipeline and less pressure on multiples compared to high seasons.
