The Brignais plant
Guret Métallurgie has made sheet metal in the Lyon area since 1956 and is the founding plant of the Aries Group. Its halls follow the flow of a sheet metal part: cutting and bending, welding and rolling, powder coating, then assembly, packing and shipping.
The plant shares its ERP, quality system and engineering methods with Aries² and Aries⁴ Raciostyl in Slovakia, so a part can be transferred between plants without new approvals.
