Still-laser

What Still-laser does

Still-Laser is a French industrial subcontractor founded in 1986 and headquartered in Sartrouville, a northwestern suburb of Paris. The company specializes in laser cutting, CNC press-brake bending, welding (TIG, MIG, brazing), tube work, and sheet metal fabrication. It operates from two workshops totaling approximately 2,000m² with a headcount of roughly 25-30 employees, serving industrial manufacturers as well as designers and architects primarily within the Île-de-France region.

The production footprint centers on three laser cutting centers — two fiber/disk systems and one CO² laser — paired with Trumpf CNC press brakes for bending. Capacity extends to cutting steel up to 25mm and stainless steel/aluminum up to 20mm, with the addition of a manual laser welding station in December 2024 marking a new capability. Operations are managed through the CLIPPER ERP system for scheduling, quality control, and cost tracking, and the site holds more than 100 tons of raw stock to support short-lead-time orders. ISO 9001 certification was renewed in June 2024 with no non-conformities, and the company signed an RSE (Corporate Social Responsibility) charter in July 2023.

The business model is project-based and quote-driven, with a minimum invoice threshold of €150 indicating both large industrial runs and smaller one-off or prototype work. Revenue is generated from two segments — industrial manufacturers (the historical core) and designers/architects (a more recent addition for custom architectural metalwork) — both served directly without intermediary channels. Pricing is custom per project rather than catalog-based, and customer acquisition is described as primarily through reputation, the company website, and word-of-mouth within the regional industrial ecosystem.

Core offering

Still-Laser is a French industrial subcontractor that provides custom metal fabrication services from two workshops in Sartrouville. Its core offering combines laser cutting (using CO², fiber, and disc technology), CNC bending (Trumpf presses), welding (TIG, MIG, brazing, spot), tube work, and metal gluing for industrial companies and design professionals working with steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, copper, and other metals.

Product overview

Still-laser is an industrial subcontractor offering integrated metalworking services centered around three laser cutting centers (two fiber/disk and one CO²) and complementary sheet metal fabrication. The core offering combines laser cutting (up to 25mm steel, 20mm stainless steel/aluminum), precision CNC bending (Trumpf presses, 3m capacity), welding (TIG/MIG/brazing), tube work, and metal gluing services. The company operates two facilities in Sartrouville: one for administrative/commercial offices and sheet metal fabrication (pliage, soudage), the other for laser cutting operations. With approximately 25 employees and ISO 9001 v2015 certification, they serve both fine sheet metal and medium-heavy fabrication needs across decorative, industrial, and architectural applications.
