CTIF - HAS JOINED cetim (Centre technique des industries de la MECANIQUE)

On 1 April 2023, CTIF merged with CETIM. As a result, it will continue to develop its activities as a benchmark industrial technical centre for metallurgy and metal processing (casting, refining, recycling, etc.), benefiting from CETIM's broader range of mechanical engineering skills. In addition to its own facilities and resources in Sèvres (92) and Lyon (69), CETIM's strike force has been added. As a result, it will be able to continue to better support foundry and forge manufacturers in their projects to improve their competitiveness and their development, both in France and internationally.
