D.B.C.

What they make

According to their website, D.B.C. is a French precision machining subcontractor in Scionzier specializing in bar-turning (décolletage). Founded in 1988 with a 500 m² workshop, it has grown to a 7,500 m² facility with about 85 employees, €18.7 million in revenue (half from exports), and 115 machines. Its equipment spans CNC single-spindle lathes for parts from 0.8 to 150 mm diameter, CNC and cam-driven multi-spindle lathes for series up to millions of pieces (4-32 mm), Escomatic lathes for very small parts, and turn-milling centers for complex geometries from forged, molded or sawn blanks. In-house finishing covers automatic/semi-automatic assembly, laser marking, precision grinding, dimensional control to 10 micron accuracy, and surface treatments including plating, anodizing and DLC coating. Parts are supplied in stainless steel, brass and copper for sensor bodies, connectors, fluid fittings, transmission shafts, gears, aerospace fasteners and housings. Main markets are automotive and aerospace, plus medical, nuclear and rail, with exports including the USA, Brazil, North Africa, Russia, India, China and Japan. The site states ISO 9001, IATF 16949 and EN9100 certification.
