What Tôlerie industrielle et ingénierie does

T2i (Tôlerie industrielle et ingénierie) is a French precision metal fabrication company founded in 1971 and headquartered in a 2,000 m² workshop at 23 rue Paul Mamert, Bordeaux. Operating with a team of approximately 30 professionals, the company delivers custom metal parts across three core service lines: industrial sheet metal work (tôlerie industrielle), high-end interior fit-out (agencement) for museography and scenography projects, and battery storage enclosures (coffres à batteries) primarily serving aerospace applications. T2i produces 9,500 battery enclosures per year, drawing on 30 years of specialized aerospace experience.

T2i's production park is fully vertically integrated in a single facility, encompassing fibre laser cutting (L3 Salvagnini, up to 60 m/min), CNC punching with automatic tool changer (AMADA), CNC press braking (AMADA 125 tonnes / 3 m), robotic and manual welding (TIG, MIG/MAG, spot), three shot-peening cabins, liquid painting, powder coating, and an in-house engineering design office using Solid Edge and SolidWorks for 3D CAD and feasibility studies. The company processes steel, stainless steel, aluminum, Corten, copper, brass, nickel, and titanium, and operates an on-site nitrogen generation system that eliminates bottled nitrogen logistics. ISO 9001:2015 certification has been held since 2017 under DNV, and 100% of operations have run on renewable electricity since 2021.

The business model is project-based B2B, with all pricing handled through free quotes prepared by chargés d'affaires (account managers) managing the full cycle from initial contact through design validation, prototyping, production, and on-site installation. Revenue is generated from direct contracts spanning prototypes, unit production, and series manufacturing, with no public pricing or e-commerce channel. The customer base spans aerospace battery manufacturers, municipal and research institutions (Mairie de Bordeaux, Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology), and design/architecture firms (Immersion, Art-concept, Félix & Associés). T2i operates as a SASU within the JS2C Group alongside sister company AARC, which specializes in high-complexity chaudronnerie assemblies, with Sébastien Chantreau as legal representative.

Revenue model

1. Custom Metal Fabrication and Chaudronnerie Services: T2i generates revenue through the design, prototyping, and fabrication of custom precision metal parts across three main service lines: industrial sheet metal work (tôlerie industrielle), high-end interior fit-out and design (agencement), and battery storage enclosures (coffres à batteries). Production volumes range from single-unit prototypes to series manufacturing. Revenue is project-based and generated through direct client contracts with free quotes leading to confirmed orders.
2. Battery Enclosure Manufacturing for Aeronautics: Specialized manufacturing of battery storage enclosures (coffres à batteries / enveloppes batteries) for aerospace clients. With 30 years of experience and 9,500 energy storage units produced annually, this is a high-value, recurring production line serving aeronautical manufacturers. Volume production with prototype validation before series launch.

Direct peers

• AARC: AARC is a precision chaudronnerie (boiler making) company affiliated with the JS2C Group, which also owns T2i. As an intra-group sister company, AARC shares metalworking DNA, customer overlap, and capacity-pooling potential, making it the most directly comparable peer.
• Bourbon Mobilier Urbain: French custom metal fabricator specializing in urban furniture, street equipment, and architectural metalwork. Directly comparable to T2i's agencement and architectural metalwork line in terms of customer type, materials, and finishing capabilities.
• Loire Industrie: Loire Industrie is a French custom sheet-metal and metalworking subcontractor serving industry, energy, and infrastructure. It competes with T2i in the B2B custom tôlerie/chaudronnerie segment at a similar mid-market scale.
• Figeac Aéro: Figeac Aéro is a French aerospace subcontractor specializing in precision metal parts (machining, sheet metal, surface treatment) for major primes. It directly competes for the same aerospace Tier 2/3 custom metal fabrication business that T2i serves in battery enclosures and structural components.

Broad incumbents

• Aubert & Duval: Aubert & Duval is a major French metallurgical specialist (alloys, parts, titanium, superalloys) for aerospace, defense, and energy. Adjacent rather than direct, but serves the same high-spec French aerospace supply chain with metal components.
• AD Industries: AD Industries (formerly Daher Aerospace) is a French Tier 1/2 aerospace subcontractor providing aerostructures, mechanical assemblies, and equipment. It operates in overlapping metal-fabrication-for-aerospace territory but as a much larger, more diversified incumbent.
• Mecachrome: Mecachrome is a major French precision aerospace and automotive components manufacturer offering machining, assembly, and metal fabrication. It is a broader incumbent in the same aerospace/precision metal category but at substantially larger scale than T2i.
• LISI Aérospace: LISI Aérospace (part of LISI Group) is a leading global aerospace fastener and structural component manufacturer. It competes for adjacent Tier 2/3 metal component work for the same French aerospace primes T2i serves.
• Latécoère: Latécoère is a French Tier 1 aerostructures and interconnection systems supplier. While primarily airframes and wiring, it competes with T2i for Tier 2/3 metal-fabrication programs within French aerospace supply chains.
• Manoir Industries: Manoir Industries is a French metallurgical group producing forged and cast aerospace, energy, and defense components. It overlaps with T2i in high-spec metal parts for aerospace customers but at significantly larger scale and broader alloy scope.
