ABOUT US ? | MESSAGE FROM THE CEO

WELCOME TO OUR WEBSITE

I hope you find the information you were looking for and even some you did not expect. Here is what I would like to tell you…

* Once upon a time, my actions in this project … * Once upon a time, my actions in this project … In 2004 I was appointed to take up the challenge in Chimilin for a company still in the fold of Schneider Electric: Mafelec. Mafelec was at the time a recognized company, but without much ambition and in search to reinvent itself. After spending one year with the commercial partners in France and all over the world, I fully understood the dynamics of this company with its 60 years of competence in specific applications (Railway, Industrial Vehicles, Industry and Process, Defence, Elevators, Aeronautic …). I hence saw its potential and I had the desire to put everything in place to guide this team to become a future leader.

In 2006 acquisition of Mafelec… A new start…


WHAT WE DO :

We develop solutions for control and signalisation for harsh environments. From pushbuttons to switches, from entire driver desks to door control solutions, the Mafelec team offers the best solution for the requirements of our partners.


 COMPANY ESTABLISHMENT IN THE MAKING :

We are aware of the need for extremely high quality without neglecting to constantly improve productivity and still remain very reactive. In order to meet these expectancies, we have engaged strategic projects challenging the Lean Manufacturing and Lean Development on site. The results are visible and our actions resolutely reached in the long run.

Our ambition is to prevent in a reactive way the variety of problems our partners could have. We are constantly progressing, in favour of our partners.

* We are leader in France and we are working on becoming a global leader.

Today, I am proud to say that our team has increased competence and is ready tackle the widest range of challenges. At the moment we have mobilized more than 300 people: 230 at Mafelec, about fifty at Petercem and at Stopcircuit respectively. We have doubled our business volume in 7 years, 50 % of this turnover is made in export, which is a strong sign of acknowledgement and trust of our customers.


 GROWTH BOTH CHOSEN AND CONTROLLED :

Without improvement there can be no progress. Growth in terms of business volume, competence, product range, geographic market presence, allows us to position ourselves in market niches thus to contribute to provide better service to our partners. The world is advancing; Mafelec is involved in this movement and wishes to play an important part.


  OUR VALUES :
