The automotive and transport industry (airplane, train, bus, tramway and metro) is in constant evolution. GERGONNE is a major player as a tier 1, 2 or 3 OE manufacturer.
Our production sites, as close as possible to our customers (in France, Spain, Mexico, and Slovakia) are all IATF 16949 certified. This global and strategic positioning allows us to respond positively to the expectations of our customers who want global partners.
Beyond its geographical positioning, GERGONNE strives to provide its customers in the transport sector with expertise in these two areas of skills: the die-cutting of technical parts and the manufacture of adhesive tapes.
Each of our units, on a human scale, is fully integrated and has the necessary support functions in-house to ensure its proper functioning (design office, quality department).
We try to be present globally but reason to provide the best service locally.
