Cutting of shaped parts and sealing gaskets
Excellence and specialist expertise in waterproofing since 1931
Backed by the historic Joint Barthélémy brand, part of the PLASTIL Group, our cutting business draws on nearly a century of industrial tradition and expertise. Building on this extensive expertise, we design and manufacture custom-shaped parts and seals, from single units to large production runs, in accordance with your most demanding drawings and specifications.
Historical expertise to help you tackle your technical challenges
Since 1931, we have been adapting our business in step with technological advances to offer our industrial clients complete mastery of sealing requirements:
• Consultancy and engineering: Our Design Office analyses your requirements (fluids, pressures, temperatures, surface finishes) to recommend the optimal solution.
• Rapid prototyping: Technical validation of your designs prior to the start of production.
• Eco-design: Selection of suitable material grades and a strong environmental approach.
A modern, flexible and high-performance fleet of machinery
• High-capacity cutter cutting
• Laser cutting and engraving
• Die-cutting presses
• Adhesive application systems (double-sided, repositionable, patterned, etc.)
Expertise in a unique materials library
• Elastomers (cellular and calendered): EPDM, CR and SBR foams, nitrile rubbers, neoprene and Viton.
• Compressed and mineral fibres: High-performance materials (GEB and Néfalit ranges) for high-temperature applications.
• Polymers & engineering plastics: Silicone, PTFE (Teflon), PVC, polyethylene, polypropylene, PEX, nylon.
• Metals: Brass, aluminium, copper, stainless steel, steel (flat or metal-plastic seals).
• Natural materials: Cork (nitrile, agglomerated), leather, felt and cardboard.
Rigour, Quality & Long-Term Commitment
• State-of-the-art dimensional inspection: Our high-precision measuring equipment (camera inspection systems, Keyence profile projector, 3D measuring machine) ensures absolute compliance with your drawings.
• Made in France & European Reach: Production proudly carried out in France, with reliable logistics to deliver throughout France and Europe.
