From its inception as a company with its founder’s name to its consolidation as SERMEC in 1985, it has established a solid reputation in the industry.

The challenge and the solution with ONA AV35

The growing increase in demand from the Portuguese railway industry posed a major challenge for SERMEC: to improve its machining capacity through the EDM process. Searching for the right solution, SERMEC turned to its faithful EDM ally, ONA, explaining the need to expand its machining capacity to meet growing demand. The response to this challenge was the acquisition of the ONA AV35 machine, a wire EDM model that promises to take the SERMEC machining capacity to a new level. With this addition, the SERMEC fleet of EDM machines is now made up exclusively of ONA models, demonstrating the company’s confidence in the quality and efficiency of the equipment provided by ONA. This fleet currently includes 4 wire EDM machines (AF25, AF35, AV25 and AV35), as well as a DR2 model erosion drilling machine.

ONA presence and Support

The close relationship between SERMEC and ONA has been a determining factor in choosing the company as a supplier of EDM. The ONA team have provided constant support, contributing their vast knowledge and experience in the field of EDM. The Portuguese company highlights the constant availability of ONA technicians and sales representatives, who have provided continuous support to select the most appropriate solutions and solve any challenge with agility and efficiency. Mário Duarte, CEO of SERMEC, comments, “ONA’s machines allow greater capacity and flexibility to respond to customer requests.” These words underline the value that SERMEC attributes to the relationship with ONA and how ONA has contributed to their success. With the ONA AV35 machine in its arsenal, the company is wellprepared to face future challenges with worldclass EDM machining capability. With the acquisition of the ONA AV35 machine, the Portuguese company consolidates its position as a leader in high-precision tools and parts, reaffirming its commitment to quality, precision and customer satisfaction.
