Mecachrome France

What they make

According to their website, Mecachrome makes high-precision mechanical parts and assemblies for four sectors: aerostructures, aero-engines, automotive, and defense, naval, energy and space (DNES). Aerostructure work covers sub-assemblies for commercial, regional, combat and business aircraft; aero-engine work includes assemblies for civil and military engines and helicopter transmission mechanisms. In automotive and motorsport it produces cylinder blocks, cylinder heads, crankshafts, camshafts, finger followers, oil and water pumps and gearbox components, plus engine assembly and test-bench services, for customers including Renault Sport, Porsche, Ferrari and BMW. For DNES clients it makes armoured vehicle panels, space-launcher structure panels and tanks, and radio telescope antenna panels. Core processes span precision machining, sheet metal work, boilermaking and assembly of large sub-assembly batches; the company states an overall capability range from nanometre-scale to several-dozen-metre parts, including nanomechanics and HVOF thermal spraying. A proprietary "Focus Factory" concept offers an automated single-flow production line for high-volume, low-risk manufacturing, installable at Mecachrome or a customer's site. Sites hold ISO 9001, ISO 14001, EN 9100/AS9100 and IATF 16949 certifications, plus NADCAP accreditations. Founded 1937, originally in automotive racing.
