After completing his studies, Daverio first worked at Rieter and Sulzer in Winterthur before he founded the tool factory Daverio & Cie in 1868 in Rorschach , the hometown of his wife Mathilde Faller, a brewer's daughter, together with the engineers Friedrich Adolf Siewerdt and Albert Giesker. This was moved to Oerlikon in 1872 and converted into the Oerlikon machine factory in 1876.

In the same year, 1876, Daverio founded the Daverio-Henrici & Cie. Design office in Zurich , which soon developed into a leading design office for milling machines. After his death, the mill construction company A. Millot was acquired by his heirs in 1909 . After this company takeover, they began building their own machines in the Zurich industrial district .
