Worldwide, state-of-the-art industrial facilities
ARaymond has earned a solid reputation for quality, by drawing on its internal production capacities. We design innovative fastening and assembly systems, complex multi-material parts and the equipment required to produce them in our factories. In the production field, our expertise covers every stage in the development cycle of new products, from prototyping to mass production. We can therefore guarantee quality, cost and delivery times.
Metal transformation
We are fully conversant with the main metal transformation processes (cutting, folding, stamping and pressing), and heat treatments, up to and including surface treatments. We manage all stages from design to production in our factories, up to and including quality control.
Plastic injection
We use injection moulding, over-moulding and bi-injection (multi-materials) processes with a choice of over 300 thermoplastic materials. ARaymond factories are equipped with presses with 25 to 1000 tonnes of mold clamping force, and can produce millions of units per year of a given part.
Assembly
Our manufacturing plants can manage manual, semi-automated or automated assembly, which can be optimised according to the production cycle, and also high-frequency assembly, at rates of up to 24,000 parts per hour.
Specific developments
Our know-how and expertise enable us to find solutions to specific assembly or fastening problems, while keeping costs under control. For construction site purposes we are able to develop simple and intuitive solutions, which are quick to install, multipurpose, efficient, ergonomic and safe to use (usually without tools). We comply with environmental restrictions and certifications (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, IATF 16949, OHSAS 18001), market standards and regulations (technical documents, heat regulations, etc.), and have our products validated and certified by approved organizations (CSTB, etc.).
Innovation
Innovation has been one of the ARaymond network's fundamental values for more than 150 years. We are constantly seeking new, efficient assembly solutions that meet requirements. Our approach is not only product-centered: we work closely with our customers and partners to find innovative solutions. To do so, we have a dedicated R&D team, supporting specialist units, simulation capabilities (Abaqus, Moldflow, etc.) and expert services to produce models as far as the prototype stage. With the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT), we are increasingly working in mechatronics, i.e. a combination of IT, electronics and mechanics, enabling communicating and intelligent fastening parts to be created.
