Asytec

What Asytec does

Asytec is a privately held French industrial subcontractor operating a proprietary production factory in Foshan (Guangdong Province), China, with a commercial headquarters in Grenoble, France. Founded in 2004 and active in its current Chinese facility since 2007, the company specializes in plastic injection molding and metal fabrication services for European industrial clients seeking cost-competitive Asian manufacturing with French-language commercial interface. Core capabilities include plastic injection molding on 18 presses ranging from 50 to 500 tonnes (including bi-material overmolding and transparent plastic production in PMMA, PC, and Tritan), metal subcontracting encompassing cutting, stamping, CNC machining, aluminum foundry/injection, and TIG/MIG welding, plus finishing services (metallization, painting, screen printing), sub-assembly, and integrated international logistics from a 2000m² logistics platform.

The company's revenue model is entirely project-based, operating through a Request for Quotation (RFQ) process with custom quotes derived from 3D models, drawings, material specifications, tolerances, and annual quantities. Revenue streams include one-time manufacturing fees for injection and metal parts, separately quoted tooling and mold fabrication (typically 6-8 weeks lead time), professional services for assembly/packaging, and logistics services. Customer segments span industrial Groups, SMEs, and Startups across verticals including automotive, household appliances, computer hardware, electrical equipment, power tools, medical devices, and personal safety equipment. Asytec emphasizes its differentiation from Chinese trading intermediaries by owning and operating its production assets rather than brokering third-party capacity.

Operationally, Asytec reported €4,000,000+ in revenue for 2019, processing 382 orders and producing over 2.8 million pieces across 1,020 different products. The company maintains permanent quality control via an in-house metrology laboratory, holds EPA environmental certification for its Foshan facility, and sources injection presses primarily from YIZUMI under a geographic-proximity partnership. With 51-100 employees split between France and China, Asytec positions itself as a vertically integrated one-stop industrial subcontractor bridging European customer demand with Chinese manufacturing economics.
