Over 5 millions euros were invested by the family business located in Bondoufle (France) to have an industrial tool of over 5 000 m² in response to the technologic challenges of the future years.

Extension of the historical site

Pierre Josse street, the manufacturing workshop has been extended with a new building which is over 1 000 m² fully dedicated to the sheet metal work.

Automatic paneling line installation

The Factory range of machines has been enhanced by the installation of an automatic line of loading / punching / folding.

Real technological jewel, this new range of machines increase significantly the manufacturing capacity.
