Expertise

Our value chain

Favi is able to draw on a considerable body of technical and industrial expertise forged over the years and fuelled by a strong emphasis on research and development. Thanks to that expertise and its spirit of innovation, Favi excels in the creation of top-quality products. By ensuring it is always at the forefront of innovation, Favi can offer its customers tailored, innovative solutions, thereby reinforcing its reputation as a reliable, high-performance leader in its sector.

Research and development

FAVI has always made a priority of innovation. Our team, made up of PhDs, engineers and technicians, is involved in a wide range of projects covering many different themes:

  • developing specific alloys to meet a particular technical, business or environmental requirement in a customer’s specifications, or to open up new markets,
  • developing innovative technologies for processing the products,
  • upgrading and optimising products and processes to guarantee the constant improvement of product quality, economic performance and energy performance.

These innovations are the fruit of our active efforts to listen to the market and of partnerships forged with technical centres, universities and higher education institutions.

Product development

Our engineering team will be a genuine partner in your development, working closely with you on the design or optimisation of your product, its die casting, machining and assembly.  They use structural design, multiphysics (heat transfer/fluid mechanics) and rheology software to take account of all the requirements linked to the product and the manufacturing processes and to guarantee you optimum product performance as soon as it goes into series production.

Product validation

Our test lab validates products and materials using:

  • structural analysis of materials and metallurgical testing,
  • physical tests to validate the expected strength and functions. To do this, we have static material testing machines (tensile-compressive strength, temperature tests) and dynamic testing machines (exceptional strain rate testing and fatigues testing),
  • specific test benches (water meter overpressure, electric motor characterisation, etc.),
  • and by checking the cleanliness of your products.

Other equipment can be developed to meet specific needs or to ensure compliance with your technical specifications.

In July 2015 FAVI was granted manufacturer’s self-certifying status, which recognises our capacity to conduct tests and provide results to the manufacturers’ standard.

Development of means of production

Our production engineering department works on setting up the means to produce your products to the required quality.

We design and make our die casting and cutting tools in house as well as designing and assembling the machining, assembly and inspection equipment: a plus for the quality of your production and a dynamic way of ensuring continued quality improvement.

Production

Our core business for the last 60 years: pressure die casting. 60 years developing in-depth expertise in the  choice and use of brass, copper and aluminium alloys to suit your project and meet your technical and economic requirements.

We offer fully integrated machining, surface treatment, assembly and washing operations in house and we work with tier 2 suppliers, which we select, qualify and manage.

Rigour and quality in manufacturing to be sure to deliver your die-cast part, your complete system or subassembly at the right time, in the right place and at a reasonable price.

A team of dedicated, devoted, autonomous and responsible men and women, here to serve you.

QHSEE

Decarbonisation is a major challenge we all face for the future, which is why our Quality, Health, Safety, Environment and Energy policy forms an integral part of our corporate culture and development strategy.

The mobility sector, and the automotive industry in particular, is in the midst of some major changes aimed at making travel more environmentally friendly whilst guaranteeing product safety and quality.

So as well as meeting technical requirements, our products are eco-designed and manufactured in such a way as to reduce their environmental impact.
