Engineering Expertise

Since 2002, FiveCo has been a multidisciplinary engineering company based in Lausanne, Switzerland. We support businesses in the development of innovative products by bringing together electronics, mechanics, software development, industrial design, and industrialization under one roof. From the initial concept to the finished product, we transform technological challenges into concrete, reliable, and manufacturable solutions.

Versatility Driving Innovation

With engineering backgrounds rooted in EPFL, our team combines broad technical expertise with the ability to manage projects from start to finish. From electronics and embedded systems to software development and server management, from mechanical engineering and microtechnology to industrial design and craftsmanship, our engineers work across disciplines to turn ambitious ideas into tangible solutions.

This multidisciplinary approach enables us to support projects across industry, watchmaking, luxury goods, medical technology, automotive, metrology, and robotics. It is reinforced by a strong industrial mindset: designing technologies from the outset with production feasibility in mind, ensuring that every solution can be manufactured according to the client’s specifications.

Electronics - embedded firmware

Our latest challenges have forced us to develop systems with an ultra-low consumption, thanks to optimized programming in assembly language.

Xavier
  • Digital, analog and mixed electronic circuit design.
  • Printed circuit board routing.
  • Microcontroller integration (8 to 32bits).
  • Sensors and actuator management.

  • HTML, JavaScript, PHP, SQL,...
  • Human interfaces.
  • Mobile application for Apple (iOS) and Android devices

Design

We shouldn’t be afraid of marrying up technology and aesthetics to get a finished product. That is what we did for Art of Secret and Mémoire du Vin.

Antoine
  • Integration of design concepts from the initial stages of the project.

Craftsmanship

In order to obtain the best of Swiss quality, we have sought to collaborate with recognized and talented craftsmen.
