What SNDMECA INDUSTRIE does

SNDMECA INDUSTRIE is a French precision machining manufacturer founded in 1981 (group formed in 2017), operating two production sites in Seine-et-Marne: the SND site at Soignolles-en-Brie (1,200 m², dedicated to revolution parts / turning) and the MECADISTRIBUTION site at Vulaines-sur-Seine (2,500 m², dedicated to prismatic parts / milling), totaling 3,700 m² of workshop space including a 700 m² assembly area. The company designs and manufactures complex, high-precision machined mechanical parts and sub-assemblies in superalloys (Inconel 600/625/718/X750), titanium, cobalt-based alloys, stainless steels, and exotic materials, with capabilities spanning CNC turning (Ø2–400mm), 5-axis milling (up to 700×700×2000mm), wire and sinker EDM, and metrology (7 CMMs, 3 optical machines) at tolerances under 10µm. It holds EN 9100, EASA Part 21G, ISO 9001, and ISO 14001 certifications and is qualified as a Tier 1 supplier to major European aerospace and defense OEMs.

The company serves aerospace, defense, energy (nuclear, oil & gas), medical, transportation, and process industries, with named Tier 1 customers including Airbus, Safran, KNDS, EDF, Arquus, Pyroalliance, IRSN, Nedschroef, Tronico, Secan, and Hutchinson. Beyond parts manufacturing, it provides co-design / Design-to-Cost engineering, sub-assembly and kitting, subcontracting management (heat treatment, surface treatment, NDT, welding), and MCO/MRO services (long-term spare parts production, obsolescence management, refurbishment per CMM specifications). Operational infrastructure includes ERP OBILOG, 5 CAM workstations, and a site-wide MES implemented as part of the Cap-e12 Industry 4.0 transformation (€2M investment, launched 2021).

SNDMECA generates revenue through project-based, quote-driven pricing on custom parts and assemblies, with multi-year contracts typical for aerospace/defense programs and MCO services. Go-to-market is sales-led and enterprise-direct, with engagement through the engineering and procurement functions of major OEMs; technical inquiries are initiated via drawings, BOMs, and 3D STEP files. The company is privately held and led by President José Lebreton, with no external funding rounds disclosed. It targets €20M in revenue by 2029 under its 'Eco-20' development plan and is pursuing sector diversification beyond aerospace to reduce historical customer concentration.
