Aluminium Martigny Sa

What Aluminium Martigny Sa does

Aluminium Martigny France (legal entity SAS ALUMINIUM MARTIGNY) is a French designer, manufacturer, and distributor of consumables, equipment, materials, personal protective equipment, and master alloys for non-ferrous metal foundries. Founded in 1992 as a subsidiary of the Swiss Aluminium Martigny Group and operating from a production site in Chimilin (Isère, Rhône-Alpes), the company was taken private in 2001 by Director General Guy Eberschveiler and is now owned by the Eberschveiler family following a 2015 succession to two sisters. The site has an annual production capacity of approximately 5,000 tonnes of metallurgical products (treatment salts, coatings/poteyages, lubricants, corrosion inhibitors, degassing rotors) and holds ISO 9001 certification continuously since 1998.

The company's commercial offering is built around three pillars: proprietary and co-developed metallurgical products (including QualiFlash®, co-developed with CTIF, and the Rotoxal automatic degassing machine), exclusive French distribution of leading international brands (Morgan Salamander/Noltina crucibles, LAC and ENRX furnaces, ItalPresseGauss injection presses, AED spraying systems, SOGEMI sand treatment, Sundström Safety respiratory PPE, SFTA thermal analysis), and technical services (metallurgical analysis, training, SFTA thermal analysis, QualiFlash testing). Its proprietary and distributed equipment portfolio addresses quality control (inclusion measurement, gas control, thermal analysis), thermal processing (induction and crucible furnaces), material handling (spraying systems, sand treatment), and worker safety (aluminized textile PPE and powered respiratory protection).

Aluminium Martigny monetizes through one-time consumable sales, hardware/equipment resale, and professional technical services, supported by a direct technical-sales team of foundry technicians in France and a network of distributors and agents in 30+ countries across Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia Pacific, and Canada. The company serves 400+ foundry customers ranging from small specialty shops to medium and large industrial aluminum, copper, magnesium, and zinc alloy foundries, with end-applications spanning automotive, aerospace, construction, and general castings. Its go-to-market is sales-led and consultative, relying on technical expertise, downloadable catalogues, and direct field engagement rather than digital self-service.
