Mécanique & Travaux Industriels

What Mécanique & Travaux Industriels does

Mécanique & Travaux Industriels (MTI) is a French B2B industrial manufacturing company operating two production sites in Decazeville (Aveyron) and Montans (Tarn), with 90-92 employees as of 2022. The company provides turnkey mechanical and hydraulic engineering services spanning five core activity pillars: study of mechanical and hydraulic sub-assemblies, welding/boilermaking/machining, on-site assembly and installation, quality control and certifications, and methods/engineering design. Its underlying technology is built around heavy industrial equipment — CNC boring machines, 5-axis machining centers, gantry mills, vertical turning centers handling diameters from 800mm to 5500mm, and welding processes (TIG, MIG, MAG, submerged arc) qualified to 140 WMOS and 72 PQR — backed by COFREND II certified NDT personnel and FARO-based metrology equipment.

MTI generates revenue through project-based custom industrial contracts with enterprise clients across at least nine verticals: hydroelectric energy (a 60-year heritage in Kaplan, Francis, and Pelton turbine design and maintenance), oil & gas (BOPs, rotating joints, swivels), military/defense, aerospace, automotive/tire manufacturing, nuclear, railway, naval, and food processing. Named customers include Thales, Safran, DGA, Michelin, EDF, SNCF, CEA, CNR, Eiffage, Technip, Bessac, and Prayon. The company operates a direct sales-led B2B motion with no resellers or distributors, and is a 99% subsidiary of the FIGEAC-AERO Group — a publicly listed aeronautical subcontractor — although MTI itself is privately held and non-reported. Headcount has remained stable in the 90-92 range since 2022, and no funding rounds, acquisitions, or leadership changes are documented in the available source material.

Broad incumbents

• FIVES Group: Major French industrial engineering group active across process equipment, turbines, and industrial machinery — broader scale and scope than MTI but with overlapping industrial machinery fabrication competencies.
• GE Vernova (Hydro): Inherited from Alstom Hydro, GE's hydro business is a broad-incumbent OEM that builds large turbines and generators worldwide — overlapping with MTI's hydro offering but at a vastly larger scale and as part of a much broader energy portfolio.

Direct peers

• Andritz AG: Austrian-headquartered industrial group with a large hydropower division that designs and manufactures Kaplan, Francis, and Pelton turbines globally — directly comparable to MTI's hydro turbine business served by EDF, CNR, and Eiffage.
• Voith Hydro: German hydro equipment specialist and one of the world's largest manufacturers of Kaplan, Francis, and Pelton turbines — directly competes with MTI in the European hydro turbine market and shares the same mission of high-precision turbine manufacturing.
• Mecachrome: French precision machining group serving aerospace, automotive, and industrial customers — directly comparable to MTI as a French subcontractor with multi-sector precision machining capabilities at similar scale.
• Aubert & Duval: French producer of specialty alloys, forged parts, and high-performance metal components serving aerospace, defense, and energy — directly comparable to MTI in the French heavy-metalwork space and overlapping customer base.
• Manoir Industries: French metalwork specialist in castings, forgings, and machined components for energy, defense, oil & gas, and aerospace — directly comparable to MTI's multi-sector heavy industrial fabrication profile.
• Bauduin Industrie: French industrial metalwork company producing steel structures and equipment for marine/offshore, defense, and industrial markets — directly comparable to MTI in the French heavy structural fabrication and marine/offshore sector.
• LISI Group: French aerospace and automotive fastener and structural components manufacturer — comparable to MTI as a French multi-sector aerospace/industrial subcontractor delivering precision components to enterprise clients.

Others

• HEF Group: French provider of industrial surface treatment and tribology services to defense, aerospace, and industrial clients — adjacent/ecosystem-level peer to MTI given overlapping customer base and French industrial services profile, rather than direct fabrication competition.
