The evolution of the groupe ABCM
A history of innovation and industrial growth
The Groupe ABCM is the fruit of the association of French small and medium-sized businesses specializing in the industrial sector, each bringing unique expertise to the equation. The adventure began in 1986 with the creation of ABCM in Coëx, Vendée, by Bernard MAILLET. What began as a small machining company has become, over the decades, a major player in industrial production, offering services in design, prototyping, cutting, machining, welding, processing, painting, assembly and logistics.
The Group, now under the leadership of by Landry MAILLET, now counts 130 employees across 6 production sites, and generates sales of 38 million euros. Thanks to strategic expansion and the integration of new companies, the ABCM Group is now able to deliver complete subsets to its customers, tailored to the specific requirements of each industrial sector.
