What UP Industry does

UP Industry is a French industrial group specializing in precision mechanics, with origins dating to approximately 1905. The group is headquartered in Salon-de-Provence (305 Allée de Craponne, 13300) and operates as a cluster of three business entities employing 110 collaborators; revenue for 2025 was reported at €14 million. Its offering is built around high-precision mechanical components and assemblies for demanding industrial sectors—defense, aerospace, medical, and energy—where tight tolerances and certification requirements are critical to customer fit.

The group's manufacturing capabilities span three core service lines: décollettage (precision screw machining), tournage (CNC turning), and fraisage (CNC milling), complemented by mechanical construction services and complex tooling fabrication. Together these cover the full dimensional spectrum, from ultra-high-precision small parts through to complex integrated mechanical assemblies. The dataset contains no disclosures relating to AI/ML, software products, API offerings, digital platforms, patents, or trademarks—the offering is physical manufacturing executed via CNC machine tools across multiple production processes, and certifications (aerospace, medical, ISO) are not publicly enumerated.

UP Industry's commercial model is project-based B2B sales with direct field engagement of engineering and procurement functions at industrial customers. Pricing is quote-based, determined by technical specifications, materials, tolerances, and volume, with multi-year contracts reported as the standard billing cadence. The company markets through a corporate website and a LinkedIn page; no distributor, channel partner, or third-party sales intermediary is named. Geographic exposure is limited to France/Europe. Customer logos, customer counts, and segment-level revenue splits are not publicly disclosed, and the company has no apparent external shareholders—no parent, no PE/VC investment, and no public listing is indicated in the available sources. Hervé DEPERY serves as President (Président) under the SAS legal form (RCS 823 155 700 R.C.S. Salon de Provence, EUID FR1304.823155700).

Broad incumbents

• Dynacast: Global precision metal component manufacturer using multi-process capabilities (die casting, machining, MIM) across automotive, medical, and industrial markets. Comparable on precision metal manufacturing but broader geographic and process footprint.
• Aubert & Duval: French subsidiary of Eramet producing specialty alloys and forged/precision-machined parts for aerospace, defense, and energy. Adjacent comparator on geography and end-markets, though larger and integrated upstream in metallurgy.

Direct peers

• Mecachrome: French precision manufacturer of engine components, airframe parts, and tooling, primarily serving aerospace and defense customers. Direct overlap with UP Industry on technology (precision machining, tooling), customer base, and French industrial heritage.
• Precipart: Swiss precision manufacturer of custom-machined components and assemblies for medical, aerospace, and industrial customers. Directly comparable on precision machining technology and serving similar demanding sectors.
• LISI Group: French-listed manufacturer of fasteners and precision components for aerospace, defense, and automotive. Comparable business model as a French tier-1/2 precision component supplier serving the same demanding end-markets.
• Figeac Aéro: French listed aerospace subcontractor producing precision-machined parts and assemblies for major OEMs (Airbus, Safran, Boeing). Highly comparable to UP Industry on geography, customer verticals (aerospace/defense), and precision machining technology.
