Court (Bern) – The company Tectri SA joins the Groupe Acrotec.
Since its creation in 1998, Tectri has been an active subcontractor in the bar turning sector. With two production sites in Court and Bévilard, the company employs more than fifty people. It generates 80% of its turnover for the medical industry. A strong and historic second pillar has been developed for the technological market of micro-motors and micro-gearing, also complemented by a watch- making subcontracting activity.
At the heart of the vision of its founders, Gilbert and Fabien Bouduban, employees play a vital role and are the driving force behind Tectri’s dynamism, growth and continuous improvement. The company will continue to invest in ongoing training and support for vocational and technical schools so that it can continue to assert its position in the demanding global markets.
With the present operation, the Groupe Acrotec is taking another step in its diversification in the medical sector. François Billig, Acrotec CEO, said: “The Groupe Acrotec directors are very happy that Tectri has decided to join them. This takeover is perfectly in line with our strategy: Tectri is a new flagship that joins our “federation”, and which will allow us to strengthen our position in the medical sector”.
“We are strongly committed to continuing the development of our company and to playing an ongoing social and economic role for our region. By joining the Groupe Acrotec, we are confident that we can consolidate Tectri’s growth and sustainability,” said Fabien Bouduban, CEO of Tectri SA. The Groupe Acrotec will retain and develop jobs at the two production sites in Court and Bévilard. The human resources and skills, as well as the management team, are assured. The collaboration with the other companies of the Groupe Acrotec will facilitate the activities and allow Tectri to calmly take up the new challenges open to it.
