What Araymond does

ARaymond (legal entity ARAYMOND et Cie) is a privately held, family-owned French industrial group founded in 1865 and headquartered in Grenoble, France. The group operates across five wholly-owned divisions — Mobility, Energies, Agriculture, Healthcare, and Construction — with ARaymond Mobility being the largest and most strategically prominent, focused on engineered fastening and assembly solutions for the global automotive industry. The company maintains direct operating presence in 25 countries and employs over 8,000 people worldwide. Its CEO is Antoine Raymond.

The core technology base is mechanical and polymer engineering: clipped fastening systems (cable and tube holders, panel and car body trim, high voltage routing for EVs), fluid handling components (Selfy® quick connectors and standalone/integrated temperature sensors), cleaning systems for windshields, ADAS, LiDAR, and cameras, heat exchangers for thermal management, and Airyosa™ pneumatic solutions (using PA10.12, PA11, PA12 polyamides) for commercial-vehicle braking and suspension. Design inputs are captured through a digital e-catalog and the Swivel Clip Configurator, a web-based engineering tool for tube/cable routing specification.

ARaymond generates revenue by selling engineered components directly to automotive OEMs and tier-1/tier-2 suppliers under B2B enterprise contracts negotiated during vehicle-program design. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is set through direct engagements based on volume, specifications, and contract terms. Revenue mechanics are tied to long product lifecycles aligned with multi-year vehicle platforms, creating high switching costs once components are designed in. Distribution is executed through a global direct-sales force and a worldwide partner network of local companies, supplemented by an e-catalog for product discovery and specification. No quantitative revenue figures are disclosed in public source material.
