  • Cutting and die-stamping: Franche-Comté is the birthplace of this know-how, and the region continues to be a world leader because its companies have maintained their expertise in the technology. The "follow-on" tool, which makes it possible to perform up to a dozen operations in one stroke, is symbolic of this.
  • Surface treatments: With buffing, electrolytic and chemical methods, anodizing, vacuum techniques, coatings, thermal projections, plasma and nano-powders, from preparation to finishing, manufacturers have pushed back the boundaries of their practices to gain a competitive edge. This permanent innovation helps to boost performance: co-deposition, organo-mineral finishes, application of complex coatings using PVD processes etc.
  • Plastics processing: Plastics processing is the 3rd most important sector of activity in Franche-Comté. The region boasts a full array of processing technologies. Taking advantage of microtechnical environments, Franche-Comté’s companies in this sector have developed specific expertise in micro-injection.
