Sibim Group

What Sibim Group does

Sibim Group is a French industrial holding company founded in 2005 by Pascal Brunel and headquartered in Cohade, Auvergne, operating through five wholly-owned subsidiaries (TMUA, AVITECH, DELRIEU, AM2S, and POLYNOV). The group designs, manufactures, and installs custom special machines and provides industrial subcontracting services, with end-markets spanning aeronautics, luxury leather goods, agri-food, machine tool manufacturing, and tier-1 automotive components. Its equipment park includes 6 machining centers, 11 grinding machines, 2 wire EDMs, 5 CN lathes, and a Volumic 3D printer, supported by CAD/CAM, electrical design, and ERP software (Top Solid V7, Inventor, Louxor, Esprit, See Electrical, IGE XAO, Sage). The group operates from four sites in the Auvergne region (Clermont-Ferrand, Brioude, Langeac, and Cohade) and employs 92 people.

Sibim generates revenue through three primary streams: one-time project-based sales of custom special machines (TMUA for abrasive systems, AVITECH for food processing); professional services revenue from precision machining subcontracting, grinding, and mechanical assembly (DELRIEU) and engineering consulting (POLYNOV); and ongoing consumables distribution revenue from abrasive products and supplies (AM2S). The go-to-market is direct B2B sales through each subsidiary's specialized market presence, supplemented by individual subsidiary websites (tmua.fr, avitech-france.fr, delrieu.fr, am2s.fr, polynov-ingenierie.com). Customer relationships are anchored in long-lived industrial capital equipment installations, with reported reach of 470+ clients and FY2024 group revenue of €8.6M. The group has grown through a continuous roll-up of acquisitions, with DELRIEU acquired in 2005, AVITECH in 2012, TMUA in 2014, AM2S in 2020, SPMS technical assets in 2021, and POLYNOV in 2023.

Broad incumbents

• Manitou Group: French mid-cap industrial group designing and manufacturing specialized handling and aerial work platform machinery. Comparable in being a French privately-disclosed industrial special-equipment manufacturer with multi-vertical customer exposure.
• Daher: French industrial group active in aerospace manufacturing, logistics, and industrial services. Overlaps with Sibim's aerospace equipment and precision-component offerings and the SPMS-inherited tier-1 aerospace supplier relationships.
• Fives Group: Large French industrial engineering group designing and manufacturing special machines and process equipment across multiple sectors. Comparable in special-machine design/manufacturing scope (TMUA, AVITECH) but operates globally and across far more verticals.
• Stäubli: Swiss-headquartered but with major French operations; designs and manufactures special machinery, robotics, and connectors for industrial customers. Comparable in custom special-machine design and integration capability for industrial applications.
• Akka Technologies: European engineering and technology consulting group with deep French industrial-customer footprint. Comparable to POLYNOV in providing outsourced mechanical/electrical engineering services to industrial customers.

Direct peers

• Mecachrome: French precision machining subcontractor serving aerospace, automotive, and energy. Directly comparable to DELRIEU in precision unit-part machining and to Sibim's broader aerospace subcontracting activity, though Mecachrome operates at substantially larger scale.
• LISI Group: French manufacturer of fasteners and precision components for aerospace and automotive. Comparable in serving tier-1 aerospace suppliers and in precision-machined components business, but at materially larger scale and global footprint.
• Segula Technologies: French engineering services group offering mechanical, electrical, and project management outsourcing. Directly comparable to POLYNOV's engineering office services and to Sibim's outsourced industrial project management offering.
• Expleo: French-origin engineering and industrial services firm providing mechanical engineering, automation, and project management. Comparable to POLYNOV in industrial engineering services and to Sibim's broader turnkey project delivery model.

Regional players

• Assystem: French engineering and project management firm focused on energy, industrial, and aerospace infrastructure. Comparable in project-based industrial engineering services and in serving French aerospace customers.
