General information

Short Summary
The French company, a world leader in the design and manufacture of heat exchangers used in a wide range of sectors (industry, marine, transport), is looking for industrial partners to manufacture brass hot-forged mechanical parts (matriçage in French), weighting between 3.5 and 5.2 kg, or even more.
Full Description
The French industrial company is specialized in the design and manufacture of heat exchange systems for industrial, marine and transport applications. On the one hand, it offers a range of standard products, with several versions to suit different types of fluid, and on the other, it supports its customers by offering tailor-made services for the development of new solutions, intended for mass production.
In order to manufacture the systems it designs, the company sometimes calls on European subcontractors, particularly for the manufacture of hot-forged mechanical parts. The shapes of the parts are common, circular or rectangular.
The company already has a few suppliers for small parts (under 3.5 kg) but it is looking for new partners, preferably based in Europe, able to produce larger parts.
For example, today the company has a specific need : it is looking for a subcontractor to manufacture a rectangular ‘bowl’ (see attached photo), material brass CW612M, CW617M, length 284mm, width 156mm; height 34.7mm; thickness 7mm, weight 5.2kg (P/N 106340)
Partnerships can be based on a manufacturing or subcontracting agreement.
