About us

History

Founded in 1967 by the Duchêne family, the company has a well-recognised know-how in precision mechanics, notably among major customers in a wide range of sectors such as rail, construction and public works, special machinery, defence, nuclear, trucks, and more.

From the start, the company has had expertise in machining cast or forged parts. It has since developed its skills in machining parts cut from solid and welded fabrications, and in assembling mechanical sub-assemblies, in order to meet the needs of its various customers.

Vision

In May 2021, the company was taken over by Alexandre Heuzé, Martial Piolat, Guillaume Gauthier and Mathieu Damour. Two objectives were set:

• to place the company at the heart of the challenges of the industry of the future;
• to support its international customers in the success of their projects.

The takeover is also part of a strategy of innovation and of integrating new tools to meet market needs (CAM, automation, environmental constraints, etc.).

Supporting long-standing customers remains the essential foundation of the company’s renewal. On these consolidated bases, the development of new markets, creating value for the company and its customers, can be considered.
