Ateliers ROCHE

What Ateliers ROCHE does

Ateliers ROCHE is a privately held French industrial manufacturing company headquartered at 15 Boulevard Marcelin Berthelot, Reims, France. The company was founded in 1932 and operates with a headcount in the 51–100 range, designing and producing mechanical components, special machines, and anti-friction systems for industrial clients. It operates within The CIF Group, leveraging the group's stated global presence to serve customers across multiple geographies, with primary operating footprint in Europe (France).

The company's product portfolio is organized into four solution areas: mechanized welding and machining services for custom components; special presses and machines, including sub-products for special press operations, pipe-end forming, and lead-acid battery plate manufacturing equipment; proprietary anti-friction systems designed to reduce mechanical wear; and end-to-end complex mechanical projects covering design, engineering, and systems integration. Customers span eight verticals: defence, automotive, energy, steelmaking, aeronautics, railways, mining and public works, and research. The website lists product pages for each solution area and dedicated market segments, indicating a curated, vertical-specific go-to-market posture.

Ateliers ROCHE sells directly to enterprise industrial clients via project-based, contact-driven quotations rather than standardized catalog pricing, with revenue streams derived from one-off sales of custom mechanical parts and special machines, plus project-based mechanical engineering services. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. No external investors, funding rounds, acquisitions, partnerships, named management, or third-party certifications are disclosed in the available data, and the ownership and control structure beyond CIF Group affiliation cannot be determined from current inputs.
