What sets us apart and makes BENOIT JOLIVET a unique bar turning and numerical machining company can be summed up in one word: organization.

Internally, the men and women of the company have carte blanche to freely exchange their knowledge and share the experience they have acquired over the course of their projects.
Transparency and transversal communication are the order of the day. Intermediaries between customers and technical teams have disappeared, allowing for richer, more direct interaction.
The continuous improvement of practices, working conditions and performance guides our day-to-day actions.
We control the entire manufacturing cycle, from the purchase of raw materials to the final machining stages, including specific operations such as grinding, honing, heat or surface treatment, as required.

All our assets converge in a common direction: the satisfaction of all our customers.
