TSA INDUSTRIES

What TSA INDUSTRIES does

TSA INDUSTRIES (legal entity TSA Inox) is a French privately-held manufacturer (PME) headquartered in the Vosges region of France that designs and produces custom and standardized stainless steel (inox) equipment for hygiene-critical industrial environments. It operates three production sites in Europe, processes more than 400 tonnes of stainless steel wire per month, and employs roughly 220 people, with thirty-plus years of accumulated experience in cheese processing equipment that now anchors a broader portfolio.

The company's product platform spans seven verticals — Fromagerie, Boulangerie, Collectivités (collective catering), Viande/Poisson (meat and seafood), Stérilisation (autoclaves and sterilization), BTP (construction), and Industrie Hygiène/Médical (industrial and medical washing) — all delivered in 304, 316L, and 316Ti stainless steel grades selected for corrosion resistance, cleanability, thermal homogeneity, and shock resistance appropriate to each environment. An in-house bureau d'études (engineering office) runs a structured custom-design workflow from specification and clear pricing through functional prototyping to series production with full documentation and traceability, supporting both custom commissions and standardized catalog items such as carts, grids, conveyors, baskets, trays, and racks.

Commercially TSA operates a sales-led, project-based B2B model with dedicated technical sales representatives assigned per customer from initial contact through final delivery, complemented by a multi-vertical distributor and reseller network across Europe, German-speaking countries, and English-speaking markets. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of standard and custom equipment, custom design and engineering services, and maintenance and repair of installed stainless steel installations, priced on a project-by-project quote basis rather than through disclosed list pricing.
