Mécanique MPO

What Mécanique MPO does

Groupe MPO (M.P.O. SAS), operating under the brand Mécanique MPO, is a privately-held French industrial manufacturing group founded in 1986 by Daniel Delamarre in Athis-de-l'Orne, Normandy. The group is organized as a holding company with 23 wholly-owned production subsidiaries across Normandy, the Paris region, and Auxerre, employing more than 511 people with combined share capital of €10,031,250. Its five core industrial service lines are press tool design and manufacturing (5 sites), precision machining and assembly (6 sites), metal stamping and welding (3 sites), plastic injection (1 site), and special machines plus engineering/prototyping (2 sites).

The group's underlying technology spans precision press tooling (progressive tools up to 5 meters, transfer tools up to 2000T presses with maximum dimensions 5000x2500mm), CNC machining (39 machining centers with 3, 4, and 5 axes, 30 CNC lathes, EDM, and grinding), metal stamping and welding, and plastic injection including overmolding and bi-material processing. Process simulation is supported by 7 AutoForm licenses with 1,000 hours/month of engineering capacity at the MPO SAS tooling sites. Material expertise covers steel, stainless steel, aluminum, Inconel, titanium, plastics, brass, copper-aluminum, and bronze. Production capacity totals 300,000 machining hours and 85,000 plastic injection hours annually, with major facilities including the 10,000 m² MPO Moult stamping plant, 8,500 m² MPO Champion II stamping and welding facility, and 7,500 m² MPO Bourges stamping and assembly plant.

The business model is B2B industrial contract manufacturing on a piece-work and project-based pricing basis, with revenue generated by transaction fees for stamped, machined, assembled, and injected components plus one-time fees for press tool design and build. Sales are direct enterprise field sales managed by technical commercial representatives handling RFQs from automotive, aerospace, home appliance, and general industrial clients. The group is vertically integrated from tool design through final assembly, allowing customers to source complete manufacturing workflows within one supplier ecosystem. Group revenue is not publicly disclosed, but disclosed segment revenues (€23.5M stamping in 2018, €19M machining-assembly with 10% export, €3M plastic injection with 10% export) suggest total group revenue in the €60-80M range based on inferred tooling division contribution.
