Two new
support sites
in Delle and
Grandvillars
The Delle II site, which went into
action in the summer of 2011, ships
daily 5 million screws and nuts
produced by the Delle I and Dasle
plants. The ongoing renovation of
Grandvillars will deliver wire coils to
all the sites of LISI AUTOMOTIVE.
Scheduled for 2010, the Delle II logistics
platform has been operational since May
2011. This new support site of 8,500
square meters, located in the Territory of
Belfort, handles the control, packaging,
storage and shipment operations for the
Delle (production of screws and special
parts) and Dasle (nuts) plants located
nearby. The new entity, which is an
operational industrial cluster, is attached
to the “Threaded fasteners” Business
Group. The contribution of Delle II should
make it possible to meet the requirements
of the division’s clients by aiding the
increase in volumes of Delle and Dasle,
whose performance results it will
increase in terms of downstream logistic
organization for the processing and
shipping of orders. The load increase took
place as expected. The site, which employs
93 people, manages the shipment of
350 pallets a day, the equivalent of
5 million parts.
Grandvillars,
3
rd
European
manufacturer of wire
products
Initiated in partnership with the General
Council of the Territory of Belfort, the
Franche-Comté Region, the association
of South Territory communes and
the French State, the plan for the
full modernization of the Forges site
that hosts LISI’s Grandvillars site, was
initiated in 2011 and will continue until
the end of 2013. This site, in charge of
the preparation of materials, produces
wire coils on which cutting, annealing,
drawing and calibration operations are
carried out. The renovation of the site will
be conducted along with an extension
and the installation of a new hydrogen
annealing furnace and several drawing
benches. The expenditure, which will raise
the production capacity of Grandvillars
to 70,000 tons (against 55,000 tons),
will cause the site’s drawing production
to rank 3
rd
in Europe. This support plant
will serve all of the “Threaded fasteners”
Business Group’s European plants as early
as 2012.
