Gay Deco

What they make

According to their website, Gay Deco is a family-owned precision machining company founded in 1937 and based in Cluses, in France's Arve Valley, an area known for its concentration of screw-machining firms. The company offers turning, milling, and broaching, producing parts from prototype through medium-series runs in steels, stainless steel, aluminium, plastics, bronze, brass, and titanium. Its machine park includes CNC turning centers handling bar stock from 6 to 100 mm and billets from 80 to 350 mm diameter, CNC automatic lathes with fixed and sliding headstocks from 3 to 42 mm, a 5-axis turning center with continuous B-axis and counter-spindle, a twin-spindle twin-turret robot-fed lathe, CNC machining centers, and a vertical broaching machine with a 1300 mm stroke and 16-tonne capacity. It also offers laser engraving and 3D printing for prototypes. Grinding and heat and surface treatments are subcontracted to nearby specialists under its supervision. In-house quality control uses a 3D coordinate-measuring machine and other precision instruments, backed by an external metrology laboratory. Sectors served include aerospace, food processing, defense, railway, connectics, and petrochemicals.
