More than a year ago Dejond got in contact with Mrs. V. Rodrigues da Silva, CEO of F.T.V. – Fixations Techniques de Vireux ( France 08). Both parties noticed synergies between F.T.V. and Dejond’s screw-producing subsidiary Visserie Guerry, based near Brussels and employing a dedicated and experienced team of 15 people. It became obvious that a merge between Visserie Guerry and F.T.V. could create new opportunities.
As from today, F.T.V. will ensure Visserie Guerry’s operations and both companies will join their forces and know-how, in order to offer their customers even better services and technical expertise.
This will be done with a majority of the current Visserie Guerry staff and most of the existing machinery in order to safeguard the retention of their know-how.
The two production sites will be brought together in Vireux ( France), close to the Belgian border.
This will result in a bigger sized enterprise, specialised in the manufacture of technical parts within the best possible delays:
– an exceptional dimensional range from ø 2 mm till ø 27 mm / length up to 300 mm,
– a complete production volume capacity for small and medium, as well as larger volume series,
– cold forming mastership in steel, stainless steel, cupper, brass and aluminium,
– production capability for hollow parts and screws with captive washers,
– both companies are ISO9001 certified since many years and EN9100 certification is planned,
– an expanded international presence.
The new and independent group has the ambition to serve its customers and closely meet their expectations, whether they are of a technical nature or service related. This will result in a more solid industrial corporation for all customers in businesses such as energy, railways, automotive, defence, aeronautics and construction.
Although F.T.V. is completely independent from Dejond, we strongly believe that it will be a solid partner for joint Dejond-F.T.V. developments giving a solution for some of the complex fastening challenges our customers are presenting us.
