Nord Metal Services

What Nord Metal Services does

Nord Metal Services (Nord Métal Services) is a French industrial subcontractor specializing in large-capacity CNC precision machining, precision mechanics, and metalworking/welding (mécano-soudure, including chaudronnerie fabrication). The company serves industrial manufacturers in the Hauts-de-France region, operating as a B2B machining shop that produces complex geometric parts, large-scale machined components, and welded assemblies to customer specifications. It is part of the NORD MOTORS industrial group, having been established in 2016 when NORD MOTORS acquired Les établissements Wiel, a family-run precision mechanics business originally founded in 1973; Nord Metal Services relocated to a new facility at ZAC du Muguet in Eperlecques in 2019 to consolidate near NORD MOTORS headquarters.

The company's core technical capability rests on a multi-axis CNC machine park including MAZAK INTEGREX and MAZAK VARIAXIS 5-axis multifunction machining centers, a KIHEUNG RIGITRAX 1500 fixed-bed mill with 8000mm X-axis travel, and a JOHNFORD VTC 1200 vertical lathe with Ø1600mm capacity. CAD/CAM programming is handled via a MASTERCAM workstation supporting IGES, CADL, DXF, DWG, and STEP file formats. Quality control is conducted in a climate-controlled inspection room using a 2.4-meter FARO 3D measurement arm on an 1800x1200 granite table, plus traditional MAHR and caliper-based metrology. Production management runs on EverWin GX ERP with custom MES/GPAO modules covering estimating, order control, manufacturing time tracking, and material debit tracking.

Nord Metal Services operates a sales-led, quote-based B2B subcontracting model with no public pricing, serving enterprise industrial customers through direct relationships. Revenue is generated through project-based manufacturing contracts for components machined to customer specifications. Distribution is direct to industrial manufacturers, with no intermediary channels; the geographic footprint is regional, concentrated in Hauts-de-France. The company is privately held, does not disclose revenue, and has been in continuous equipment-investment mode through 2021, with active recruitment ongoing.

Core offering

Nord Metal Services provides large-capacity CNC machining, precision mechanics, and mécano-soudure (welding and sheet metal fabrication) subcontracting services to industrial clients. The company operates multi-axis CNC equipment (turning, milling, boring, 5-axis multi-function) supported by a Mastercam CFAO design workstation, an EverWin GX ERP production management system, and FARO 3D measurement quality control. It serves major industrial partners in the Hauts-de-France region with custom-manufactured components machined to customer specifications.

Product overview

Nord Metal Services is a precision machining and metalworking services company operating as part of the NORD MOTORS group. It offers a unified portfolio organized around three core service lines: large-capacity CNC machining (usinage numérique), precision mechanics (mécanique de précision), and welding/fabrication (mécano-soudure). These are supported by complementary sub-brands — an EverWin GX ERP system for production management and estimating, a MASTERCAM-powered CFAO design workstation, and a comprehensive quality control department (moyens de contrôle) featuring FARO 3D measurement arms and MAHR measuring columns. The company also provides production tracking and material flow management through its GPAO/ERP infrastructure. Services span multi-axis CNC turning and milling, multi-function machining centers (MAZAK Integrex and Variaxis 5-axis), conventional machining, drilling, grinding, and boiler-making fabrication.
