Neyret Group

What Neyret Group does

Neyret Group is a French family-owned industrial engineering company, founded in 1985 by Guy Neyret and now led by his son Bruno Neyret, that designs and manufactures custom, high-speed turnkey assembly machines. Its portfolio is organized around two core kinematic platforms — index-motion machines (5 to 75 cycles/min, complex assemblies) primarily built by subsidiary Société Guy Neyret in Chaponost, and continuous-motion machines (up to 1,000 cycles/min, 50M-400M parts/year) primarily built by subsidiary Lagniel SAS in Douvres-la-Délivrande — plus a digital Drop-on-Demand inkjet printing line, a library of integrated process modules (assembly, welding, liquid feeding, printing, in-line quality testing), and a 3D library of in-house process standards. Complementary offerings include the trademarked NEYRA® augmented-reality remote-assistance kit, the MOMA event-based video monitoring system, secure-VPN remote service, and a full GMP/GAMP/FDA-compliant Quality Assurance lifecycle backed by a mobile ISO8 clean room for FAT.

The company serves medical-device and pharmaceutical manufacturers as its primary vertical (insulin pens, syringes, inhalers, single-use diagnostic tests), with secondary verticals in perfumery & cosmetics, personal care & homecare, automotive, electrical & connectivity, and a long tail of pen, hardware, food, agriculture, and textile applications. It generates revenue primarily through one-off hardware sales of bespoke turnkey machines (more than 730 delivered worldwide, some operating for over 20 years), supplemented by worldwide after-sales service, customized annual service contracts, retrofits and modernization, and training services. Pricing is fully quote-based with multi-year contract cadence tied to FAT/SAT protocols and regulatory qualification scope.

Since June 26, 2024, Neyret Group has operated as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Mech-I-Tronic federation controlled by Italian holding Groupack, sitting alongside Bettinelli Fratelli, Union Extrusion, Alci Group, and CB Automation under a stated goal of becoming a European leader in assembly machines. The group operates production sites in Chaponost (HQ) and Douvres-la-Délivrande in France, Sugar Grove (Illinois, USA; renamed Neyret Inc on April 1, 2025) and Changzhou (China, via NAAM Automation), and sells via direct enterprise field sales, an international subsidiary network, and an active trade-show presence at Pharmapack, Global Industrie, Automate, Automatica, Cosmopack, DDL, and PDA Universe of Pre-Filled Syringes. Standalone revenue and employee headcount are not publicly disclosed; combined Mech-I-Tronic turnover exceeds €130 million.

Core offering

Neyret Group designs, engineers and manufactures custom-built, high-speed turnkey special-purpose assembly machines for industrial manufacturers. The portfolio covers two core machine kinematics — index motion (5 to 75 cycles/min) and continuous motion (up to 1,000 cycles/min) — plus Drop-On-Demand inkjet digital printing machines, peripheral equipment, and integrated process modules. Each project is delivered with full mechanical, electrical, PLC, vision and robotics engineering performed in-house, and is supported by worldwide after-sales service, training, retrofits and remote diagnostics.

Product overview

Neyret Group (neyret group) is a single, vertically integrated engineering and manufacturing business — not a SaaS platform — that designs and builds turnkey special-purpose assembly machines, organized around two core machine technologies plus complementary modules and services. The portfolio is anchored by three machine families: Index assembly machines (5-75 cycles/min, complex assemblies, flexible) primarily produced by the French subsidiary Société Guy Neyret and the US subsidiary Franklin Automation / Neyret Inc; Continuous motion assembly machines (up to 1,000 parts/min, mass production) primarily produced by the French subsidiary Lagniel SAS; and Digital printing machines (Drop On Demand inkjet on a magnetic conveyor). These machines are completed by a Peripheral equipment module (palletizers/depalletizers, FIFO® conveyors, transfer systems, feeding bowls, robots, unloading systems) and an Integrated processes module that bundles mechanical-assembly, liquid-feeding, welding, printing/marking, and quality-testing capabilities into a 3D library of in-house standards. Around these machines, Neyret Group wraps a service offering that includes Quality Assurance (GMP/GAMP/FDA-compliant documentation, FAT/SAT, ISO 2859-1 sampling), Process monitoring (secure VPN remote service, MOMA event-based video monitoring, real-time KPI HMI, Pareto data analysis), Training (operating, maintenance, programming), and After-sales service (technical assistance, spare parts, audits, machine relocation, modernization, and the NEYRA® remote assistance video kit). Since June 26th, 2024, Neyret Group has operated as part of the Mech-I-Tronic federation led by Groupack.
