Unimet first started as an independent workshop founded in 1980. At the time, the company used six universal machines installed in the company’s facility which covered 100m2.
The production program was based on providing machining services to the domestic market. In 1984 Unimet decided to upgrade and invested in their first CNC machine. Since then, the company has expanded widely and today Unimet has five production facilities covering 6500m2, with more than 50 CNC machines, the same number of universal machines and over 230 employees.
