Investronic

Founded by Christophe Dufresne, Investronic group specializes in the design and manufacturing of custom robotic machines for industrial assembly and quality inspection. The group was formed through the strategic acquisition of several complementary technology companies to provide a comprehensive range of automated machinery. This includes Optec Industries (founded in 2002, acquired by Investronic), which focuses on assembly and sorting machines with optical quality control, and Aurea (founded in 1992, joined in 2011), which designs special machines for assembly, inspection, and machining. Other companies in the group include Amidec, Xénia, Sandmann, and Cevilog, each bringing specialized expertise in areas like welding, laser applications, and industrial vision.

Investronic serves key accounts across various demanding sectors, including automotive, medical, luxury goods, and general industry. For the automotive market, it provides automatic lines for Tier 1 and Tier 2 subcontractors. In the luxury sector, particularly Swiss watchmaking, the firm is known for its precision measurement and aesthetic inspection systems. The business model is centered on designing and producing complete, large-scale assembly lines and special machines tailored to a client's specific technical and strategic needs. Their services cover everything from assembly via gluing, riveting, and laser welding to various inspection types like dimensional, aesthetic, and electrical checks.
