What CMS Industrie does

CMS Industrie is a French Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) provider founded in 1986 and headquartered in Sainte-Foy-l'Argentière, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, with two industrial sites in Lyon and Grenoble. The company offers a full-lifecycle electronics subcontracting service covering computer-aided design (CAO), industrialisation (DFX), prototyping including 3D printing, series production (surface-mount assembly, soldering, pressfit), testing and burn-in, robotic tropicalisation (varnishing and resin encapsulation), system integration, and long-term obsolescence management (MCO). Its manufacturing capabilities are qualified to IPC-A-610 across all three classes — including Class 3 for aerospace, defence, medical, and railway applications — and the company holds ISO 9001 and IRIS certifications, positioning it as a qualified supplier to regulated industries.

The company serves enterprise clients across seven demanding verticals: transport (notably rail), energy, security, lighting, industrial automation, healthcare, and connected objects/IoT. It does not sell a product of its own but rather delivers custom-built electronic assemblies and integrated equipment under project-based B2B contracts, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Operating scale is indicated by more than 20 million cards produced cumulatively and 150 different projects per year, across a headcount in the 51–100 range. CMS Industrie is part of GROUPE PRENVEILLE, a confederation of four EMS brands (ASICA, SICAP, CMS Industrie, CMS Services) that provides shared purchasing, harmonised quality strategy, and cross-referral leverage across the group.

Revenue is generated entirely from one-off manufacturing service engagements (industrialisation fees, prototyping, series production runs, integration work, and lifecycle/MCO support), with go-to-market executed via direct enterprise sales, expert engagement at industry trade shows (Global Industrie, SIFER), and content marketing through the company website and LinkedIn presence. The company has no public listing, no disclosed funding rounds, and operates primarily on a regional (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes) and French/European footprint, branded as '100% French Fab'. Recent strategic activity has centred on ESG positioning (EcoVadis Bronze renewed in 2026 with a 65/100 score, +4 points YoY), railway vertical deepening via SIFER 2025, and continued capability investment in robotic tropicalisation.
