# Manoir Industries

Manoir Industries is a global metal processing company mainly focusing on casting and forging components in petrochemical, nuclear, oil and gas, civil engineering, energy, defense, heavy weight trucks, tractors and aerospace markets. Manoir Industries employs 1,400 workers in 7 manufacturing locations in France, United Kingdom, India and China.

## History

Manoir Industries was established in 1917 in the commune of Pîtres in northwestern France, situated between the towns of Pîtres and Le Manoir, from which it derives its trade name. Over time, Manoir expanded its operations through successive acquisitions evolving into the Manoir Industries group. From 1917 to 1995, Manoir Industries acquired forging plants, including Bouzonville, as well as Manoir Custines and Saint-Brieuc's foundry, specializing in wearing parts. In 1994, Manoir initiated its global presence with a joint venture in China, later becoming Yantai Manoir in 2006. Subsequently, in 2008, Hi-Tech Fabrication, a welding company based in the United Kingdom, joined the group. Additionally, in 2010, Kartik Steels became part of Manoir, specializing in tube supports for petrochemical furnaces and operating as a foundry in Chennai, India.

## Manufacturing process

Manoir Industries technologies cover steel casting (static and centrifugal casting), forging (close-die, extrusion, welding), and provide ‘ready-to-assemble’ gear grinding and cutting, machined, surface treated, painted, shotblasted, coated parts to its customers.
In forging or casting processes, small- and mid-size batches of various morphologies are manufactured in a large range of alloys and are undergo controls meeting customers quality requirements:
* Dye penetrant inspection
* Magnetic particle inspection
* Ultrasonic examination
* Dimensional controls...
The Petrochemical and Nuclear BU with the Pîtres, Burton-on-Trent, Yantai and Chennai plants offer high technology components to withstand high temperatures. The Excellence center, based in Pîtres and historical innovator of high temperature alloys, guarantees the process and quality for Manoir's Petrochemical plants. The Manoir Forging Solutions with the Bouzonville forging plant and Manoir Engrenages provide all the closed-die, extrusion, gear grinding and cutting, machining and control processes for parts operating under severe conditions (nuclear, defense, oil & gas, mine, civil engineering, transport (heavy weight trucks and railways components), tractors and aerospace).
