Cornille Decolletage

What they make

According to their website, Cornille Décolletage is a family-run manufacturer founded in 1946 in Friaucourt, in France's Vimeu industrial district, a hub the company describes as the country's second-largest centre for metal-cutting and the leading one for fittings and hardware. The business was taken over in 2014 by a former employee of the company. It specializes in décolletage — precision turning of parts from metal bar stock — alongside milling, drilling and boring, threading, broaching and assembly, using automatic, semi-automatic and CNC-controlled lathes. Bar capacity runs from 5 to 80 mm, extending to 220 mm on chuck-held work, with batches from a minimum of 100 up to 10,000 pieces or more. Materials machined include brass, lead-free brass for US-export compliance, steel, stainless steel, aluminum, bronze, copper and polyamide, with polishing, chromating and galvanizing available through partner networks. Products include plumbing and sanitary fittings such as elbows, tees, end caps and couplings. The company has held ISO 9001 certification since 2002, inspecting and tracking parts individually, and serves the automotive, luxury fittings, hospitality, food-processing, rail, gas, electricity and nuclear sectors.
