ASMA | Groupe Artzainak

What ASMA | Groupe Artzainak does

ASMA is a French industrial engineering and automation design office (bureau d'études) operating as a subsidiary within Groupe Artzainak, headquartered in Mauléon-Licharre, Nouvelle-Aquitaine. Founded in 1997, the firm has built 27 years of cross-disciplinary expertise spanning mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, automation, and industrial IT engineering. It delivers turnkey industrial systems and tooling — from specification (cahier des charges) through design, fabrication, and commissioning — to enterprise clients in three primary verticals: aeronautics, boating/nautism, and agri-food.

The company's flagship proprietary product is custom RTM (Resin Transfer Molding) injection equipment for high-quality composite part manufacturing, distinguished by a unique automatic cleaning system covering the full resin preparation and component-cleaning workflow. Beyond the RTM line, ASMA designs and builds production tooling, control systems, post-treatment systems, handling systems, and assembly systems tailored to each client's industrial process. The firm holds ISO 9001 certification (since 2019), is accredited by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research, and benefits from Crédit Impôt Recherche (CIR) and Crédit Impôt Innovation (CII) tax credits.

ASMA operates a sales-led, direct-engagement go-to-market model, working project-by-project with enterprise customers on custom industrial engineering assignments. With approximately 15 employees and a stated 2025 revenue target of €1M, the company is a boutique industrial engineering firm rather than a scaled platform. Its marketing presence runs through the parent group's corporate channels — LinkedIn and YouTube (@GroupeArtzainak-AK) — alongside the Groupe Artzainak website, with no disclosed third-party resellers, integrators, or geographic expansion beyond France.

Broad incumbents

• Assystem: French industrial engineering and digital services firm focused on complex infrastructure and energy/nuclear/aerospace programs. Overlaps with ASMA's mechanical and automation engineering capability applied to industrial clients, though Assystem operates at consulting/engineering services scale rather than building custom hardware.
• KraussMaffei: German machinery manufacturer with a dedicated composites division producing RTM and reaction-injection molding systems. Comparable on RTM equipment and turnkey factory lines, but operates at vastly larger scale across industrial machinery, plastics and composites.
• Fives Group: French industrial engineering group active in aerospace, automotive and industrial process equipment. Comparable as a French industrial systems integrator delivering custom production tooling, automation and process lines, with much larger scale and broader end-market reach.
• Pilz: German industrial automation safety and control specialist supplying PLC, sensors and automation software used in industrial machinery. Overlaps with ASMA's automation/informatique industrielle capabilities, though Pilz is software-and-safety focused rather than custom machinery.
• Stäubli: Swiss industrial automation and robotics manufacturer with strong presence in aerospace and nautical composite manufacturing cells. Adjacent as an automation-systems supplier for the same end-customers ASMA serves, but with a broader robotics/connector portfolio.

Direct peers

• Pinette Emidecau Industries (PEI): French industrial equipment designer/manufacturer of special machines, automated production lines and tooling for demanding industries including aerospace and energy. Competes head-to-head in the 'bureau d'études spécialisé' category where ASMA also operates.
• Magnum Venus Products (MVP): US-based manufacturer of resin transfer molding (RTM) injection equipment and composite manufacturing systems — directly comparable as both build RTM/closed-mold injection machinery for the same composites customer base across aerospace, marine and industrial users.
• Composite Integration Ltd: UK specialist in RTM injection equipment and resin delivery systems for composite part production. Closely overlaps ASMA's core proprietary product line and serves the same aerospace, marine and wind customers with custom-configured RTM machinery.

Regional players

• Techniques et Productions Industrielles (TPI): French regional engineering and industrial equipment integrator for clients in aerospace, energy and naval industries. Comparable as a regional French 'bureau d'études industrielles' offering custom tooling and automation, competing with ASMA on similar customer rosters in southwestern France.

Emerging players

• AFPT GmbH (Advanced Fiber Placement Technology): German specialist in automated fiber placement and composite automation systems used primarily in aerospace manufacturing. Closely comparable on the RTM/automation/composite tooling axis, though focused more narrowly on fiber placement than ASMA's general industrial systems work.
