What MECANUMERIC does

MECANUMERIC (legal entity MÉCANUMÉRIC INDUSTRIES SAS) is a French designer and manufacturer of CNC (computer numerical control) machines founded in 1998 and headquartered in Marssac-sur-Tarn (Albi), France. The company produces an integrated portfolio of industrial cutting and machining equipment at its in-house Albi facility, including 3-axis and 5-axis milling centers (MECAPRO, MECAEASY, MECAPLUS), high-pressure waterjet cutting machines up to 4000 bar (LABJET, PUREJET, MECAJET II, QUICKJET NL), laser cutting systems (MECALASE), knife cutters (MECACUT NL), thermoforming machines (MECAFORM), and compact CNC lathes (Charly4T). The company also sells an own-brand line of Méca cutting tools and supports its hardware with a proprietary CAD/CAM software stack (CharlyGRAAL, GOcharly, MAYKA) plus MASTERCAM integration, and operates two sub-brands acquired in 2014 — Charlyrobot for education/training (10,000+ units installed) and CharlyDental for dental prosthetics (1,500+ customers equipped).

MECANUMERIC generates revenue through one-time sales of new CNC machines, refurbished equipment, and custom machines (project-based pricing in EUR), supplemented by recurring consumables and cutting-tool sales via an e-shop channel, and professional services including installation, training, and after-sales support delivered by a 20+ person CARE service team. The go-to-market is primarily direct enterprise field sales, supported by regional subsidiaries in Spain (MECANUMERIC IBERICA SL, Burgos) and Italy (MECANUMERIC ITALIA SRL, Motta di Livenza), country-specific localized websites across 9+ European markets, and shipping partnerships with TNT and Chronopost reaching 40+ countries.

The company serves approximately 14,000 customers across multiple verticals — industrial manufacturing (primary), dental/medical prosthetics (CharlyDental), education/training (Charlyrobot), aerospace and defense, signage and visual communication, and refractory materials processing. MECANUMERIC is privately held through the NOBIRON DEVELOPPEMENT holding company, with Sébastien Nobiron serving as President. The company carries a social capital of 404,000 EUR and has operated continuously for 25+ years.

Core offering

MECANUMERIC designs and manufactures CNC machines including 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis milling centers, waterjet cutting machines, laser cutting machines, CNC lathes, thermoforming machines, and knife cutting machines. The company operates an integrated factory in Albi, France with in-house engineering, supporting customers across industrial manufacturing, dental prosthetics, education, aerospace, and signage sectors, and sells own-brand cutting tools and consumables through its E-Shop.

Product overview

MECANUMERIC is a French designer and manufacturer of CNC (computer numerical control) machines with over 25 years of experience and approximately 14,000 customers worldwide. The company operates an integrated model combining in-house engineering (bureau d'études) and its own production factory located in Albi (Tarn), France. Its core product portfolio centers on five main CNC machine categories: (1) fraiseuses 3 and 5 axes (3- and 5-axis milling machines, including MECAEASY, MECAPRO NL, and custom special machines); (2) machines de découpe au jet d'eau (waterjet cutting including LABJET, PUREJET, MECAJET II, QUICKJET NL); (3) machines de découpe laser (laser cutting including MECALASE); (4) machines de découpe au couteau (knife cutting including MECACUT NL); and (5) thermoformeuses plastics (thermoforming including MECAFORM), supplemented by compact CNC turning (Charly4T) and a full CAD/CAM software suite. Two sub-brands extend the portfolio: Charlyrobot for education/training (Charly4U, Charly2U, DMC, Charly4T, LABJET, plus CharlyGRAAL, GOcharly, MAYKA software) and CharlyDental for dental prosthetics milling (CD04-S, MICROLAB 4+, CD04, CD05, plus scanners, CAM software, and sintering furnaces). A proprietary cutting-tool brand, Fraises Méca, covers end mills, engraving tips, and specialized cutters (aluminum, plastics, foam, composites, NOLUB-coated). The company also operates an e-commerce platform (E-Shop) for tools, accessories, and consumables, and provides custom machine design, refurbished machines, installation, training, and after-sales services.
