Equipment and expertise

Thanks to our many fields of expertise developed in our partnerships and exchanges with our customers, SEVA supports each project by providing the best innovative industrial solutions.

Our “SYSPRO” business-unit designs, manufactures and deploys industrial equipment in one-offs or small series, mainly for the SAINT-GOBAIN group.
Our design and production skills permit us to offer our customers a complete service (from analysing their requirements through to technical assistance), while ensuring total confidentiality of the technologies used. This activity is combined with a multi-skilled design office (mechanical engineering, automation, robotics, vision, IT, etc.), a worldwide panel of subcontractors and logistics, along with an international technical assistance service.

Hyperquenching amorphous metallic fibres: FIBRAFLEX®
Renowned around the world for its expertise in special metallurgical alloys, SEVA industrialises, produces and markets FIBRAFLEX®, amorphous metallic fibres.
An exclusive process of melting and hyperquenching liquid metal is used to produce this iron and chromium alloy, giving it exceptional characteristics that enable it to satisfy the most demanding applications. SEVA alone masters this technology on an industrial scale, and its main use is to reinforce concrete and mortar.

Purchasing
The diversity of the projects managed by SEVA requires the use of external resources, which are coordinated by an internal purchasing department that mutualises resources with the Saint-Gobain group. Our large panel of approved and qualified suppliers cover a range of fields, including:
• Raw materials and semi-finished products
• Industrial sub-contracting: Modelling, Forging, Casting, Machining, Polishing, Mechanical welding, Heat treatment, Surface treatment (Shot peening, HIP treatment, stellite coating, HVOF treatment, ...) 3D printing, Automation and Robotics …
•  Intellectual services (R&D, studies, programming, simulation, control, assembly, maintenance, laboratory, mechanical tests, pressure tests, cabling, …)

Quality
Our quality teams support projects with the following approaches:
•  Internal and external audits – integrated quality and EHS
•  Mutualised resources with the Saint-Gobain group
•  Continuous improvement: World Class Manufacturing
SEVA's processes and quality system are recognised as solid by certifying bodies.

Logistics and Transport
