What Segre Mécanique Précision does

Segré Mécanique Précision (SMP) is a French precision machining subcontractor founded in 1986 and headquartered in Segré en Anjou Bleu, Maine-et-Loire, operating from a single 1,400 m² facility on the Angers-Laval axis. The company provides custom mechanical parts and assemblies through CNC turning, 5-axis milling combined with surface and cylindrical grinding, custom machining-fixture design, in-house quality control using a 3D coordinate measuring machine, and a SOLIDWORKS-based design office for feasibility and prototyping. Production tolerances reach 1/100th millimeter across materials including steel, stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, bronze, carbon fiber, and technical plastics. The GPAO-Clipper ERP with its integrated quality module provides workload planning and full product traceability.

SMP targets enterprise customers in regulated and quality-demanding verticals: aeronautics/aerospace (EN 9100 certified since 2018, ISO 9001 certified since 2012), agri-food/meat and seafood processing, electronics manufacturing, petrochemical/industrial manufacturing, and defense. Named accounts include Disney (welded assemblies with magnetic particle inspection for attractions), Charal, Halieutis, Eolane, Selha Group, Hutchinson, Coremat, Europe Technologies, Elivia, Bigard, and LDC. The go-to-market is sales-led: customers request quotes through the company website or by phone, and pricing is project-based, determined by material, complexity, tolerance, and volume.

Commercially, SMP generates revenue from one-off custom fabrication, prototyping, small-to-medium series production, tooling and fixture design, and metrology/quality services. Distribution is domestic, with direct local delivery within a 100 km radius of the Segré facility. The company is privately held, founder-controlled under Director of Publication Pierre Le Galloudec, with no disclosed institutional investors, no funding rounds, no subsidiaries, and no M&A activity. Current strategic posture is organic: expanding certified aerospace capacity and recruiting qualified technicians rather than pursuing acquisitions or external capital.
