Loris De Bona, our Senior Mechanical Designer, joined Mikron in 1984 in Agno as an apprentice. When the engineering department moved from Boudry to Agno, Loris completed his engineering apprenticeship and became a full member of the Mikron Machining team.
During his years at Mikron Machining, Loris grew both personally and professionally and attributes much of his growth to the guidance of Alain Buisson and Adriano Nicora in the 1990s, whom he still remembers with great admiration and emotion. Their encouragement and belief in his potential motivated him to constantly strive for excellence.
In the mid-1990s, Loris joined our maintenance (nowadays Service Solutions) and R&D department, where he spent the next four years, working on machine upgrades, improvements and new applications, gaining practical experience and in-depth technical knowledge.
In 2008, Loris moved to Mikron Machining Respeed, taking care about our used machine business. Working alongside Carmine Ruotolo, whom he highly regards, they successfully reconditioned used high precision Mikron Machining equipment for new markets and new customers.
For the past few years, Loris has been an integral part of Mikron's Service Solutions department, along with Enrico Tumminaro.
He currently works with a team of five designers on spare parts requests, minor overhauls and various projects.
Reflecting on his career, Loris highlights two particularly memorable projects: The development of high-precision roundtable Mikron Machining solutions for the production of pistons and connecting rods for refrigerator compressors in the late 1990s, and the design of high-precision roundtable Mikron Machining solutions for the automotive market, in particular components for truck engine valve balancers.
Loris' story is one of continuous learning, resilience, change and innovation. We are proud to have him as part of the Mikron family and are grateful for the expertise and dedication he brings to every challenge.
