TECVAL

What TECVAL does

TECVAL is a French family-owned industrial subcontractor founded in 1992 and headquartered in Voreppe, Isère, in the Rhône-Alpes region. The company produces custom metal and plastic components, plus integrated sub-assemblies, for medium-to-large production series (above 1,000 pieces annually) across seven industrial verticals: building and construction, paramedical and orthopedic, electrical and electronics, household appliances, sports and leisure, automotive/railway/aeronautics, and other industrial sectors. Its customer base consists of French and European industrial OEMs served through a direct B2B sales motion via website quote requests and phone contact.

The company's core capabilities span three integrated technologies: metal stamping and cutting (press capacity 40–160 tons, material thickness 0.2–4mm), plastic injection molding (press capacity 28–390 tons, part weight 0.2g–800g, including overmolding), and assembly (screwing, crimping, riveting, bonding, spot welding, ultrasonic welding). An in-house tooling workshop uses 3D CAD to design, manufacture, and maintain dies and molds with warranty. Surface treatments and other finishing processes are sourced through established French and Asian partners. The facility was expanded by 500m2 in 2019, and the company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification (originally certified 2003).

TECVAL employs approximately 20 people and operates as a privately held, family-controlled business with no external investors, no public listing, and no disclosed revenue. Pricing is quote-based per part, with tooling costs amortized over production volume and contract cadences spanning multi-year supply relationships. Leadership transitioned from founder Yves Muller to his son Cédric Muller in 2012. The company maintains a standard catalog of orthopedic aluminum stays and metal washers alongside its primary custom-manufacturing business.
