Amecap

What Amecap does

Amecap is a Tunisian industrial manufacturer founded in 1991, headquartered in Sfax, Tunisia. The company specializes in precision machining (décolletage) on cam lathes, CNC lathes, and machining centers, producing parts with diameters between 3mm and 60mm in brass, steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. Amecap operates two business lines: a catalog of standard sanitary installation accessories—multi-layer tube fittings, copper tube fittings, gas fittings, mixer cartridges, compressed air couplers, garden faucet accessories, traps, and flush valves—and a precision subcontracting service for custom mechanical parts manufactured to customer drawings or to designs produced in-house. Its stated customer base spans the sanitary installations industry and broader industrial manufacturers requiring subcontracted precision components.

The company's technical infrastructure comprises a 5,000m² production facility, an in-house quality-control laboratory equipped with measurement tools, and a design and methods office running SolidWorks and Esprit CAD/CAM software. Annual production capacity is stated at 35 million pieces, supported by a workforce of 180 employees. Management emphasizes recent equipment renewal and adherence to international standards as differentiators; no patents, certifications, or formal compliance accreditations are disclosed.

Amecap pursues a sales-led, B2B go-to-market with direct sales to both local Tunisian and foreign customers. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company operates without a visible distributor or reseller network; distribution is direct from the Sfax plant. Digital presence is limited to the company website, a 'pro' portal for business customers, and a promotional YouTube video. The stated strategic intent is international development through partnerships with foreign and local clientele, though no specific country targets, partnerships, or distribution agreements are documented.
