Mechanical engineering is a key industry for French economic growth.

It encompasses the production of a wide range of machinery, equipment and components used in diverse fields such as industry, construction, agriculture, energy and many others. This dynamic and innovative sector thrives not only on technical solutions, but also on the added value that companies in the sector can deliver to their customers, going beyond the supply of competitive machinery. Companies in this sector have faced the impacts of the health crisis, rising metal and energy prices, difficulties in sourcing raw materials, and uncertainties in global markets.

Mechanical engineering is also facing a series of complex challenges, from international competitiveness to the transition to Industry 4.0, crisis management and environmental sustainability. To succeed in this ever-changing environment, companies need to be innovative, flexible and resilient.
