DLV

What DLV does

DLV (Découpe Laser Vercellino), operating alongside sister entity MSV (Métallerie Serrurerie Vercellino) under the family-owned Groupe Vercellino, is a French custom metal fabrication job-shop headquartered at Izeaux in the Auvergne Rhône-Alpes region. The combined business, tracing its heritage to MSV's 1969 founding and DLV's 1999 incorporation by the second-generation Vercellino family, operates from a 3,500 m² workshop plus 2,000 m² storage facility and serves industrial manufacturers across medical, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, cleanroom, mountain equipment, professional kitchen, nuclear, acoustics, industrial gas, automotive, and architectural/urban-furniture verticals.

The technical offering is built around five core capabilities — laser cutting, CNC bending, welding (TIG/MIG/MAG, manual laser, and orbital), surface finishing, and mechanical crimping/insert insertion — executed on an integrated digital production chain that includes a BYSTRONIC ByStar Fiber 12 kW automated cutting cell with tower storage (commissioned 2020), a Bystronic Xpert80 robotic bending cell (2022), Timesavers 42-series finishing lines for stainless/aluminium and steel, and PEM SERTER crimping. Materials processed span stainless steel, mild and structural steel, aluminium, copper, brass, and Corten, with thicknesses up to 30 mm on steel/stainless/aluminium. Quality is anchored by ISO 9001 (2005), ISO 14001 (2014), ISO 3834-2, and EN 1090-2 EXC3 (2016) certifications, supported by in-house IWT/IWS welding coordination.

Revenue is generated on a project-based, quote-driven model with no public pricing; the firm sells directly to industrial clients (no channel partners) via telephone and online quote requests, beginning each engagement with a preliminary engineering analysis and offering in-house design optimization. The customer mix is diversified by vertical and includes enterprise accounts (Air Liquide, Actemium, Athanor, POMA) alongside SMB artisan manufacturers, with long-tenured relationships emphasized as a differentiator. The firm markets primarily through its corporate website and participates in regional development programs such as PERFORMANCE PME with the Auvergne Rhône-Alpes Region and CCI Grenoble. There is no external equity, venture capital, or private equity involvement; the company is entirely family-held and reinvests cash flow into continuous equipment modernization.

Revenue model

1. Custom Metal Fabrication Services: Job-shop manufacturing model producing custom and series metal parts. Services include laser cutting, bending, welding, finishing, crimping, thread insertion, and tribofinishing. Revenue is project-based, one-time, and varies by complexity and volume. No recurring revenue streams; growth driven by new client acquisition and repeat orders from existing clients.
2. Subcontract Manufacturing: Long-term subcontracting relationships with industrial manufacturers across diverse sectors (medical, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, cleanrooms, mountain equipment, professional kitchen, nuclear, acoustics, industrial gas, automotive). Repeat orders and ongoing project collaboration generate steady revenue from established accounts.

Core offering

DLV & MSV (Groupe Vercellino) provides custom and series metal fabrication services built around five core capabilities: laser cutting (Découpe Laser), CNC bending (Pliage), welding (Soudage including TIG, MIG, MAG, laser, and orbital), surface finishing (Finition including deburring, brushing, polishing), and crimping (Sertissage) of threaded inserts. The company processes stainless steel, steel, aluminum, copper, brass, and corten, and serves industrial manufacturers across medical, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, cleanroom, mountain equipment, professional kitchen, nuclear, industrial gas, automotive, and structural steel sectors from a 3,500 m2 workshop in Izeaux, France.

Product overview

DLV & MSV (Groupe Vercellino) is a metalworking company offering a comprehensive suite of fabrication services built around five core capabilities: Laser Cutting, Bending, Welding, Finishing, and Crimping (Sertissage). The company operates two entities—DLV (Découpe Laser Vercellino, founded 1999) and MSV (Métallerie Serrurerie Vercellino, founded 1969)—that work in concert to deliver complete metal fabrication solutions. The product portfolio spans multiple material categories (stainless steel/inox, steel, aluminum, copper, brass, and corten) processed through the five core services. The company's competitive positioning centers on advanced automation (robotic bending cell, automated laser cutting line with storage), certified quality (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, EN 1090-2), and specialized welding capabilities (TIG, MIG, MAG, laser, orbital).

• WEC Group: UK-based metalwork services group offering laser cutting, bending, welding, finishing and structural fabrication across multiple sites. Directly comparable custom sheet metal and structural fabrication model for industrial B2B customers.
• Bleich GmbH: German precision sheet metal fabricator offering laser cutting, CNC bending, welding and finishing to industrial customers. Similar mid-market custom fabrication profile with engineering-driven value proposition.
• Steel Projects Group: Belgian structural and miscellaneous metal fabricator with EN 1090 capability, supplying industrial and construction customers. Comparable to DLV on structural steelwork execution class and welding certifications.

Broad incumbents

• AMADA: Global incumbent in sheet metal machinery and fabrication services with a broad portfolio across cutting, bending, welding and automation. Relevant as a broader competitor and supplier benchmark in the same metalworking space DLV operates in.

Regional players

• Stål & Hytte: Norwegian metalwork services group offering cutting, bending, welding and assembly to industrial clients. Comparable service portfolio but serves a different Nordic geography.
• Metal Work Srl: Italian manufacturer of pneumatic components and metalwork solutions serving industrial customers. Partial overlap with DLV through custom metal fabrication and finishing capabilities for B2B industrial markets.
