About Gcefrance

Three Decades of Engineering Industrial Precision

Gcefrance designs and builds industrial machinery that outperforms expectations — built in France, trusted across 40+ countries, refined through every production cycle.

About

Heritage Built on the Workshop Floor

Founded in 1989 in Lyon, Gcefrance began as a precision toolroom serving regional manufacturers. Three decades later, that same hands-on discipline shapes every machine leaving our facility — from CNC machining centers to automated assembly lines engineered for 24/7 duty cycles.

Our founders believed that durability is designed in, not inspected after. That philosophy still drives our 180-strong engineering team today, where mechanical, controls, and quality specialists collaborate from the first sketch to the final acceptance test.
