Saint-Rémy Industrie

What Saint-Rémy Industrie does

Saint-Rémy Industrie (SRI) is a French sand-casting foundry established in 1906 and headquartered in Commentry, Auvergne, that specialises in copper-based alloy castings. Operating within the LBI Foundries group alongside sister companies INOXYDA, FAI, TECNACEM and LBI, SRI runs a self-hardening sand moulding process with pouring capacity up to 2 tonnes across three moulding bays, producing parts in pure copper, cupro-aluminium, tin and leaded bronzes, and brass HR. Its customer base spans six industrial verticals: naval/marine, cryogeny and hydraulics, welding equipment, electrical equipment, friction/wear, and the glass industry.

The foundry's competitive position rests on vertical integration from raw casting through in-house heat treatment (quenching and tempering) and a machining workshop equipped with 7 CNC lathes (6 with 3 axes), 2 vertical machining centres, and conventional machining capacity up to Ø 1500 mm. This allows SRI to deliver fully finished, inspected, ready-to-install components from a single point of contact — a model supported by hydraulic/pneumatic testing, surface treatment (silvering, painting), and quality inspection. Marine classification approvals from ABS, Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas, RINA and DNV, plus ISO 9001:2015 certification (TÜV), enable participation in regulated naval and offshore supply chains.

SRI operates a sales-led GTM with two dedicated sales managers (Laurent Robin for France, Laurence Wegrzyn for export), owned sales offices in Germany (LBI Guss GmbH) and Ireland (LBI Castings Ltd), regional representatives across Brazil, Canada, Denmark, India, Italy, Norway, South Africa, Sweden, the UK and the USA, and regular participation in international trade exhibitions (MIDEST, IVS). Approximately 20% of production is exported to more than 20 countries. The company has 51–100 employees, is privately held with no disclosed revenue, and no public funding rounds or M&A activity are recorded in the source material.

Core offering

Saint-Rémy Industrie is a sand-casting foundry of copper-based alloys that produces complete, ready-to-install cast parts in pure copper, cupro-aluminium, tin bronze, leaded bronze, and brass HR through self-hardening sand moulding with melting capacity up to 2 tonnes. The offering is vertically integrated with in-house heat treatment, CNC machining (7 CNC lathes, 2 vertical machining centers, conventional machining up to Ø 1500 mm), hydraulic/pneumatic testing, surface treatments, welding, and quality inspection delivered as a single-supplier solution.

Product overview

Saint-Rémy Industrie operates as a sand casting foundry specializing in copper-based alloys, offering a complete manufacturing solution from casting to finished parts. The core offering consists of self-hardening sand casting services producing parts in pure copper, cupro-aluminium, bronze, leaded bronze, and brass. The company distinguishes itself through an integrated machining workshop with 7 CNC lathes and 2 vertical machining centers, enabling delivery of fully finished components ready for installation. Supplementary services include in-house heat treatment (quenching and tempering), hydraulic/pneumatic testing, and surface treatments (silvering, painting). The foundry serves six primary industry sectors: ship construction (propeller hubs in aluminium bronze), cryogeny/hydraulics (pump bodies, runners), welding equipment (transformer connections, welding arms), electrical equipment (connectors), friction/wear (bushings, bearings, sleeves), and glass industry (mould bodies, bottle moulds). Maximum casting capacity reaches 2 tonnes per pour.
