Etablissements Baussant

What they make

According to their website, Etablissements Baussant is a family-owned precision turning and machining company based in Sallanches, in the Vallée de l'Arve, operating since 1965 across three generations. The company produces custom technical parts from client drawings, ranging from single prototypes to series of up to 2,000 pieces (a separate homepage summary cites series up to 20,000), in diameters between 2 and 65 mm. Parts are machined from steel, aluminum, bronze, copper, and stainless steel using CNC turning equipment with 2 to 10 axes, including Tsugami machines, alongside 3- to 5-axis machining centers, all housed in a 1,500 square-meter workshop equipped with around 20 machines. Beyond turning, the company offers milling for complex geometries, part engraving for traceability, and broader precision-mechanics assemblies built on CAD/CAM design capability. Quality is controlled in-house with a Mitutoyo 3D measuring machine, issuing detailed inspection reports and certificates of conformity; the company holds ISO 9001 and EN 9100 certification. Typical output includes tie rods, spacers, studs, rotors, axles, shafts, screws, nuts, inserts, and washers for aerospace, medical device, and tooling customers.
