Machining and Manufacturing in France
Whether you want to outsource parts or set up your own production in France, we support you at every step: finding machine shops, engineering, site selection, hiring and putting quality standards in place.
The context
Manufacturing in France is an industrial project in its own right
Producing close to your European customers shortens lead times and reassures OEMs. But finding the right shops, the right skills and the right site takes a detailed knowledge of the local industrial base.
- 01
Finding the skills
Qualified machinists, technicians and engineers are in demand: you need to know where to find them.
- 02
Choosing the right site
Proximity to customers, labor pool, regional incentives: the choice of location is a long-term commitment.
- 03
Meeting the standards
OEMs expect the same level of quality and traceability from day one.
