Est. Hong Kong, 1980

Precision Machining. Built on 45 Years of Trust.

Sze Loi began as a single workshop on the factory floors of Tsuen Wan. Four and a half decades later, we remain what we always were — a company that understands metal, moves fast, and treats every drawing as a promise to be kept.

Our History

Four decades of uninterrupted operation in one of the world's most competitive manufacturing environments. Each era marks a deliberate investment in technology and people — never in shortcuts.

1980

Founded in Hong Kong

Sze Loi opens its doors in Tsuen Wan, New Territories — a small precision screw-machining workshop serving Hong Kong's thriving electronics and hardware export industry. Cam-driven automatic lathes and a team of skilled machinists are the foundation. From the first day, the philosophy is clear: tight tolerances, on time, no excuses.

Transition to CNC Swiss Turning

As global precision standards tighten and Hong Kong's manufacturing sector modernises, Sze Loi makes the decisive move: retiring its cam-operated automatic lathes and committing fully to CNC Swiss turning technology. The guide-bush Swiss lathe becomes the core of the business — enabling tolerances and surface finishes the old machines could never reach.

Dongguan Manufacturing Campus Opens

To scale production capacity without sacrificing quality, Sze Loi establishes its main manufacturing facility in Hengli, Dongguan — a purpose-built factory floor housing the majority of the Swiss turning fleet. Hong Kong retains its role as the engineering, sales, and QA hub. The dual-location model gives customers Hong Kong accountability with Dongguan production economics.

Citizen Cincom Multi-Axis Fleet

Sze Loi acquires Citizen Cincom L-series multi-axis Swiss CNC lathes — machines capable of 7-axis simultaneous machining, sub-spindle back-working, and live tooling. These machines remain the production centrepiece, enabling complete complex components in a single fixturing. Total Swiss turning capacity expands to 50+ machines plus in-house built machineries across both locations.

Hong Kong Electronics Fair Presence Since 2008

Active participant in the Hong Kong Electronics Fair since 2008 — establishing a long-standing presence at one of Asia’s most important industry platforms. This consistent engagement has enabled Sze Loi to showcase precision Swiss-turn and custom-machined components to global buyers, build lasting relationships with OEMs and engineers, and stay closely aligned with evolving market demands across electronics, industrial, and high-precision sectors. Our continued participation reflects both our manufacturing reliability and commitment to international standards.

45 Years Strong

Sze Loi operates 50+ Swiss turning machines across two facilities, serves clients in more than 12 countries, and continues to invest in machining capability and quality systems. The founding principle has not changed: precision parts, delivered on time, backed by engineering expertise and honest communication.

The way we work

Our Promise
to You

We are not a portal-driven, lowest-quote job shop. We are a manufacturing partner — a team of experienced machinists who think about your application before we quote it, communicate openly throughout production, and stand behind every part that leaves our floor.

For 45 years that philosophy has kept customers returning. It is not a marketing line. It is the reason we are still here.

24-Hour RFQ Response

Every request for quotation receives a detailed, accurate response within one business day. No automated replies, no generic lead times.

DFM Advice Included

If your drawing has features that are expensive to machine or tolerances tighter than necessary, we will tell you before we charge you to make it.

Prototype-to-Production

From a single first-article sample to 10,000 parts per month — same machines, same process, same quality level. No re-tooling surprises when you scale.

Why Sze Loi

There are hundreds of CNC machining shops. Here is what makes the difference when the tolerance is ±0.005mm and the delivery date is firm.

Swiss Turning Specialisation

80% of our production capacity is dedicated to Swiss turning. That focus means deeper tooling libraries, faster setups, and process knowledge that a generalist shop simply cannot match. When your part is a 3mm stainless pin with four milled faces, we have made its twin ten thousand times.

From Prototype to Production

We run the same programs on the same machines at any quantity — 5 parts for a design validation build or 5,000 parts for a production release. There is no separate prototyping team and no painful hand-off. If the first article passes, the thousandth will too.

Exotic Materials

Titanium, Inconel, Monel — materials that many shops decline because the tooling cost, cycle time, and scrap risk are too high. We have the dedicated tooling libraries, machining protocols, and operator experience to run these materials correctly the first time.

Our Team & Facility

Behind every precision part is a person who set the tool, verified the first article, and approved the shipment. We are proud of both.
