What Codica câbles transmissions does

Codica câbles transmissions is a privately held French SàRL founded in 1957, headquartered and manufacturing in Barr, Alsace. The company designs and produces custom-engineered metallic transmission cables and complementary mechanical components, including steel and stainless steel traction cables (0.09mm to 8mm diameter), flexible shafts (up to 10,000 rpm), push-pull cables, metal sheaths with PVC/PP/polyamide coatings, zamak injection-molded end fittings, and precision polyamide pulleys. Manufacturing is conducted in-house using cable stranding, sheathing extrusion, crimping, injection molding, and precision machining, with SAP-based lot traceability from component reception through finished product. The firm has held ISO 9001 certification by TÜV since 1998.

Codica serves first-tier industrial manufacturers and equipment suppliers — described by the company as leaders in their respective sectors — across eight verticals: aeronautics and automotive (flagged as primary), plus medical technology, agricultural vehicles, furniture and layout, lighting/acoustics/suspension, outdoor equipment, and mechatronics/robotics. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales with direct engagement of customer engineering and purchasing departments, supported by an online product catalog, an interactive custom cable configurator, and industry-specific landing pages.

Revenue is generated through three streams: custom-configured cable assemblies sold as project-based hardware orders, standard component sales via catalog and configurator, and industrial services including sample validation and technical consultation. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with the only transparently listed items being a Proto Box prototyping kit (€335 HT) and crimping tools (€40–€425 HT). The company is led by gérant Jean Luc Schnelzauer, with Cécile Hébert as quality manager. No funding rounds, M&A activity, parent company, or institutional ownership are disclosed.
