Bespoke design, industrialisation, production and assembly of machine welded parts, assemblies or sub-assemblies

Steel – Aluminium – Stainless steel

Recognised for 40 years for its extensive expertise in metallurgy, GMI and its subsidiary ITS design and manufacture welded simple or complex structures in a range of sizes for all areas of activity both in France and internationally.

Much more than just a sub-contractor, GMI will support you throughout the design phase, prototyping and serial production of complete or partial sub-assemblies.

The organisation and the equipment of the welding division mean that we are able to offer comprehensive service at a fair price: laser cutting, folding, bending, welding, blasting, painting and assembly.

By integrating all of these workshops, GMI delivers real savings in cost, time and quality.

Responsiveness, flexibility and performance

The organisation of GMI’s metallurgy division offers responsiveness, flexibility and performance.
It makes it possible to process two large families of raw materials: sheet metals and profiles.

 

Design offices

Teams oversee the development of a welding project and manage it right up to the industrialisation and production phase.

Our design office is made up of 20 experts to guarantee comprehensive, bespoke service:

— Preliminary survey, feasibility analysis
— Consultancy and technical surveys
— Design and development of parts and tools
— Industrialisation and technical monitoring

 

Laser cutting

Our machines make it possible to cut 2 large families of raw materials: sheets and profiles.

Our cutting experience allows us to calculate production time very accurately and provide you with precise proposals to your requests.
