History

The Filame Group History

Located in Belgium, and specialized in the manufacture of components based on wire and strip, the Filame Group has established itself as an essential partner for the manufacturing of high precision springs, such as torsion springs, compression springs, extension springs and leaf springs as well as all sheet metal parts and press works (stamped and formed parts on mechanical and hydraulic presses, in small, medium and large series). The Filame Group offers various metalworking technologies, a recognized presence on the market, customer services and an excellent level of quality.

We deliver all over Europe thanks to Belgium’s great road connections into the rest of Europe, and also have customers worldwide. Countries such as France, Germany, Switzerland, Luxembourg and the Netherlands benefit from particularly short delivery times.

Consistent with our diversified production means and our various production sites, we implement our values and strategies and thus position ourselves as a technological leader in the market for springs, stamped and formed parts (press works in second operation and automatic) as well as sheet metal parts. Since early 2022, Filame covers 80% of its daily electricity consumption with 735 solar panels on the roof of its building in Nivelles, with a total power of 250 kWp.

No less than 500 million products leave our workshops each year. With a team of more than 50 employees and a sustained investment program, our productions are the result of manufacturing from the most powerful and modern machines. Our various departments develop CAD plans for parts and tools, design technical data sheets, and produce prototypes and series regardless of quantities.

We maintain partnerships with international customers from all sectors, from civil engineering and the automotive industry to manufacturers of locks, as well as machine tools, construction, electronics, defense or medical.
