TPI

What TPI does

TPI (Techniques et Procédés Industriels) is a privately held French industrial equipment fabricator headquartered in Soultz-Haut-Rhin, Grand Est, operating since 2011 from a 1,300m² production workshop, a 100m² engineering study office, and a 60m² clean room. The company designs, fabricates, installs, and commissions custom industrial equipment — including piping in steel, stainless steel, and plastic; boilermaking (pressure vessels, tanks, hoppers); metalwork; and special-purpose machines — for clients in general industry, agri-food, pharmaceutical, and chemical/microelectronics. Technical capabilities are grounded in 2D/3D CAD (SolidWorks, ProEngineer, AutoCAD), TIG/ARC/orbital welding, and a clean room with air treatment for sterile pharmaceutical fabrication.

The business operates a project-based, enterprise field-sales model: chargé d'affaires and project managers engage industrial clients directly, the company delivers bespoke equipment from feasibility studies through on-site installation and commissioning, and it also performs revamping and preventive/corrective maintenance on existing installations. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time project fees and professional services for turnkey delivery, with pricing conducted on a quote basis rather than published rates. The company has launched a MASE safety management certification procedure to credential its traceability and safety processes, and its on-site teams deploy across regional, national, European, and international scopes depending on project requirements.
