SMTG (Société mécanique de Thiron-Gardais) specializes in precision machining and is actively recruiting despite facing challenges. The company has historical ties with the French automotive industry, notably assembling Alpine cars until 1968.

It has since partnered with Renault Agriculture but experienced a 30% revenue decline in 2024 due to an agricultural crisis. SMTG is diversifying into construction, collaborating with Swiss manufacturer Liebherr, and producing parts for data center generators and military vehicles. The firm aims for €15 million in revenue by 2026 and seeks to recruit operators and maintenance staff, emphasizing skill development.
