Inpacte AB Fonderie continues to modernize its workshop equipment with the installation ofa sandblasting cabinet.

This ergonomic cab enables materials to be sandblasted and cleaned using a compressed air and abrasive propulsion system.

This new equipment represents a real improvement in working conditions, as it makes sandblasting easier and safer:

- No contact with dust and dirt
- Reinforced, integrated gloves for added safety
- High-precision sandblasting in a short space of time

A 1m90 shell cast part? Inpacte AB Fonderie has done it!

Our teams have designed around 140 pieces like this one for  the Blanchet Group 

Measuring 1m90 high, 70cm wide and 6mm thick, these decorative slabs will be installed unfinished on the facade of a CROUS building. 

On Thursday December 15, the Inpacte AB Fonderie production team visited the permanent exhibition "Qu'est-ce que tu fabriques? Lyon industrielle et ouvrière" at the Musée d'histoire de Lyon - Gadagne, in which it is highlighted.

All were able to immerse themselves in the history of Lyon's industry. An emotional moment was rounded off by the discovery of the work of photographer Valérie Couteron and writer Fabienne Swiatly, who spent several days immersed in the Inpacte AB Fonderie production workshop.

Many thanks to the whole museum team for making this moment possible, and especially to Claire Déglise and Xavier de la Selle for ensuring a visit rich in discoveries.

A wonderful showcase for a passionate profession.

It was a morning rich in shared experience, highlighting many relevant inclusion projects in the region.

On Friday January 28, 2022, AB Fonderie took part in an event organized by the Lyon metropolis: Manifesto for the transforming company.

The 4 challenges of this manifesto are :

- Climate and energy 

- Social inclusion 

- Preserving resources 

- Buying locally and responsibly

For Frank Molle, "AB Fonderie was born of a desire to make the company a place of fulfillment and growth for the people who work there. Signing the Manifesto devised by the Metropolis of Lyon makes sense for our company, which puts people and respect for the environment at the heart of its values and activities. So it's only natural that we should be part of this collective, which currently includes 120 companies.
