The ALUTHEA Group

An editorial by the two managers: Hugo Texier and Paul Marino.

Aluthea: an ethical group, long-lasting ambitions.

The ALUTHEA group aims to provide to its customers the benefit of a multi-technologies partnership in manufacturing parts and sub-assemblies according to the aluminum foundry process.

To that end, we master the core technologies in foundry : tooling, sand casting, gravity die casting, low-pressure die casting, high-pressure die casting, together with two essential components for foundry : machining & surface treatment.

Our possibilities of intervention involve the study & development of the part and its tool, foundry operations according to the existing technologies, the steering of potential operations of finishing via outsourcing (painting, treatments, assembling), and the delivery of goods, fully controlled through a well-mastered process.

All of these services of aluminum foundry parts manufacturing are controlled by our Quality Department, ISO 9001 certified.

Thanks to our technical skills gained for fourty years and our optimal geographic presence, the Aluthea group has given itself the means to deliver high quality services at a very competitive price.

A stable industrial shareholding with a long-term vision

Professional management. A social pact built around this strategic vision.
