Our DNA – 1978
The first site, SUMCA was created by Mr Mimouni and the Garbez brothers.
The founders decided to use their know how in precision machining in the manufacture of sintered steel and carbide tooling.
1st Generation Transmission
Between 2000 and 2005 the company was purchased by the management team.
This philosophy continues today with the owners active in the day to day activities of the group.
A few words about us.
The Akris Group is in continuous movement right from the start of SUMCA. The growth of the group is a reflection of its focus on core skills matched with developing a depth of expertise. An investment in people, design, factory environment and machines that meet the market demand for a high quality service.
The creation in 2017 of a subsidiary from ground up in Nashville USA and the purchase of a key supplier in 2018 has allowed us to best serve our customers by servicing locally the supply chain for tooling.
