Resilience - Performance - Growth
Building a resilient and integrated group focused on performance, by acquiring and developing SMEs in precision machining and industrial testing
We are two entrepreneurs with a combined 45 years of experience, supported by two family-owned SMEs. Our ambition is to build a strong and coherent group by bringing together profitable SMEs with revenues between €1 million and €5 million, specializing in precision machining and industrial testing.
Our mission is to promote the transmission and long-term preservation of Europe's industrial know-how, while supporting companies in their growth, modernization, and in strengthening their resilience within a high-performing and sustainable ecosystem.
Driven by a passion for the expertise of the men and women who create true added value, we are looking for companies for sale that primarily serve the following sectors:
Energy
Aerospace
Medical
Defence
Jonah Vauchel, co-founder of Aveniir, is conducting a critical stress intensity (K₁C) test within AUEM (Machining and Mechanical Testing Workshop) in 2017.
Patrick Hulsen, co-founder of Aveniir, attended a surgical procedure in 2018 with his former company, Daintel, which he founded in 2004 and sold in 2019 to Cambio Healthcare Systems.
Usinage / Micro-usinage pour les industries lourdes (défense, aéronautique, énergie..)
Les cibles adressent des environnements extrêmes où chaque micron compte. Elles produisent des pièces critiques de haute précision
Capacités : Centres d’usinage à commande numérique 5 axes et de tours CNC ; utilisation d' une solution FAO de dernière génération.
Micro-tournage et micro-fraisage, électro-érosion, micro-alésage, filetage fin, diamètres usuels 0,1 à 10 mm.
Matériaux : superalliages tels que Inconel et Hastelloy, aciers haute résistance, aluminium aéronautique, titane, céramiques techniques.
Qualité et normes : système qualité conforme aux référentiels aéronautiques et défense, dossiers FAIR ou PPAP, AMDEC procédé, traçabilité complète.
Certifications recherchées : EN 9100, ISO 9001, ISO 19443, NADCAP pour procédés spéciaux pertinents, ITAR EAR pour la maîtrise des exportations quand applicable. Leur présence est un avantage mais l’absence n’est pas éliminatoire si une feuille de route d’obtention est engagée.
Contrôles : CND END, ressuage, radiographie ou CT, métrologie optique haute résolution, essais de fatigue et de tenue thermique sur demande.
Industrialisation : prototypage rapide, séries pilotes, montée en cadence sécurisée via SPC et MSA.
Targeted sectors
Precision machining
CNC Turning
CNC (Computer Numerical Control) turning is a material-removal machining process in which a rotating workpiece (usually cylindrical) is machined using a fixed cutting tool, according to digital programs.
These programs (often written in ISO or G-code language) automatically control movements, speeds, feeds, and machining cycles.
Milling
Milling is a material-removal machining process in which a rotating cutting tool, called a milling cutter, removes material from a fixed or moving workpiece to obtain the desired shape, dimensions, or surface finish.
When performed on a numerically controlled milling machine (CNC milling), the movements of the tool and/or the workpiece are automatically managed by a computer program (G-code).
CNC Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM)
Electrical discharge machining is a non-contact machining process that removes material through electrical discharges between an electrode and a conductive workpiece, all automatically controlled by a CNC program.
This process is suitable only for electrically conductive materials (steel, carbide, titanium, etc.) and allows the production of highly complex shapes with exceptional precision often impossible to achieve using conventional mechanical machining.
Industrial Testing
Mechanical testing involves performing tests on materials (metals, plastics, composites, etc.) to evaluate their mechanical properties that is, their behavior under various stresses such as tension, compression, bending, or impact.
