What FPSA Group does

FPSA Group is a French family-owned industrial manufacturer founded in 1981 in the Plastics Valley region of Oyonnax, specializing in two complementary production technologies: thermoplastic injection molding and zamak (zinc alloy) pressure die-casting. The group operates 52 injection presses and 4 die-casting presses across two sites—a high-precision headquarters in Bellignat, France (with integrated design, tooling, surface finishing, and assembly) and a cost-competitive Romanian subsidiary (TDC srl) providing Eastern European volume capacity. Combined 2023 turnover is €21 million across 135 employees.

The company serves five customer universes—automotive (IATF 16949), industry/sports, cosmetics, medical (ISO 13485, CE marking under PLASTENS®), and childcare—offering end-to-end project management from 3D design and tooling construction through industrialization, surface treatment, assembly, and packaging. Revenue is generated primarily through project-based custom manufacturing contracts (B2B transaction fees) supplemented by the newer branded PLASTENS single-use medical device catalog and tooling construction licenses. Notable proprietary technology includes I TECH MOULD, an FUI-funded R&D output integrating conformal cooling during mold casting that reduces production orders by 10–30%. The company is led by second-generation owners Eric and Olivier SEIGNEMARTIN and has achieved EcoVadis Gold certification (2024) reflecting its sustainability commitments.

Customer engagement is sales-led and direct, anchored by technical-sales staff and sector-specific RFQ workflows, with distribution handled primarily via direct enterprise field sales and supported by multilingual website presence (FR/EN/DE) plus industry association memberships (Polymeris, Polyvia, AEPV). The group continuously reinvests roughly 3% of turnover (~€630K/year) into machinery, automation, and information systems (ERP/MES/CMMS), and has run a multi-year Norwegian Research Institute partnership on bio-composite materials targeting medical and regulated applications.
