About us

How We Work

Ask us for the Five Legged Sheep, a French expression for the impossible challenge, the rare problem no one else dares to take one. At FiveCo, this is where innovation begins. We bring together multidisciplinary expertise, push the boundaries of engineering, and design tailor-made solutions that others consider unattainable. Driven by passion, precision, and Swiss craftsmanship, we turn the extraordinary into reality.

Our DNA

Since its founding in Lausanne in 2002, FiveCo has established itself as a Swiss engineering company with expertise in microcontroller-based systems with embedded intelligence, complex mechanical engineering, and image processing algorithms. Our multidisciplinary team provides high-quality engineering outsourcing services across the entire product development cycle, regardless of your industry or application.

Our know-how has been acknowledged by the big names in industry, medical watchmaking and luxury.

Our innovative engineering is our greatest added value. That is the philosophy of our engineering firm. We have defined it in three ways:

 

Innovating for Our Clients

Every project is unique. Whether developing a new product, a connected system, a measurement instrument, or a custom machine, we work closely with our clients to transform ideas into tangible solutions. Many products now in production were born from this collaborative development process between FiveCo and its partners.

Innovating Through Passion

Innovation is part of our DNA. We see every project as an opportunity to explore new technologies, push technical boundaries, and create original solutions. This culture of curiosity and experimentation also drives our own developments, including the THEye IoT ecosystem, the Sculpture of Time table clock, and the Mémoire du Vin wine cellar management system.

Innovate through tradition

At FiveCo, innovation is not only about inventing new technologies; it is also about reimagining existing craftsmanship and giving it a new dimension. This philosophy is reflected in creations such as Art of Secret and Around Five, where advanced technology, traditional craftsmanship, and Swiss watchmaking heritage come together to create truly exceptional objects.
