Toles Perforees De La Sambre

What Toles Perforees De La Sambre does

Tôles Perforées de la Sambre (now operating as TOLES PERFOREES SYSTEME) is a French industrial manufacturer specializing in perforated metal products, founded in 1899 and headquartered in Maubeuge, Hauts-de-France. The company has been owned by HMP holding since 2004. Its core production covers perforated metal plates (including decorative and micro-perforated variants), metal wire cloth, welded wire mesh, expanded metal, and metal grating, manufactured across 4 thin-sheet perforation lines (0.5–3 mm), 1 heavy-gauge line (1–15 mm), CNC punching machines, press brakes, plasma cutting, and TIG/MIG welding stations. The in-house tooling design machining centre supports custom patterns across materials including steel (galvanized, lacquered, EZN), stainless steel, aluminium, copper, PVC, and wood, with thicknesses from 0.35 to 20 mm and void percentages from 2.5% to 75%.

The company operates a vertically integrated B2B model: customers submit project inquiries via direct contact (website, telephone), receive customized quotes, and TPS delivers both small and large series production with full secondary fabrication (punching, bending, rolling, surface treatment, welding). It serves three primary verticals: agro-food (sugar refineries, maltings, fish farms for filtration and processing equipment), BTP/construction (facades, ceilings, sunshades, railings, urban furniture), and process industry (automotive, chemical, electronics, metallurgy, railway rolling stock). Secondary segments include decorative/design applications (bus shelters, gates, artistic panels) and named institutional projects (OECD Paris, hospitals, schools, Four Seasons Bahrain, Restaurant 58 Tour Eiffel). Marketing relies on direct sales from the Maubeuge headquarters, downloadable brochures, and a newsletter, with no digital advertising or third-party distribution referenced. No public pricing exists; all engagements are quote-driven.
