On December 4, 2009, Bruno Lemaire, the French Minister of Food, Agriculture and Fisheries, had a meeting with several manufacturers from the Dieppe region on the premises of the ADSI Company. The meeting continued with a tour of the GAULT Industries site.

GAULT Industries has been committed to gaining ISO 14001 certification since September 2009, and has successfully passed the milestone of the first audit. The next step is expected in late 2010, with the final goal of obtaining IS0 14001 certification in early 2011.

GAULT Industries has extended its stock of machinery with the acquisition of a new 50-tonne 2 metre AMADA 7-axis CNC bending press.

Usinage DIEPPOIS has extended its stock of machinery with the installation of a new 5-axis machining centre.

The centre is able to machine the upper surfaces and sides of a part in a single operation, and allows manufacturing of 3D parts.

After replacing the CAD software and licensing SpaceClaim ®, our Engineering Department is to integrate the new WICAM ® PN4000 software.

Our objective is to reduce the programming time for our four punching machines and to improve our responsiveness by productivity gains.

The ADSI company has recently acquired the ADOBE ® CREATIVE SUITE ® 4 (InDesign ® CS4, Photoshop ® CS4, Illustrator ® CS4, Acrobat ® 9 Pro), to optimize production and processing of your computer files.

Usinage DIEPPOIS has just changed its software for backup and control of machining programs by acquiring Cwork 4 ® from the SMCOM company.

Patrice GAULT, CEO of the PG Group and Chairman of the Industrial Commission of Dieppe Chamber of Commerce, has initiated a federative project and is leading a number of activities for the local metallurgical industry :

• Creating websites for companies that did not have them before,
• Training in Search Engine Optimization keywords,
• Creating a website for the metallurgical industry in the Dieppe area, hosted by ECOBIZ,
• Training in Sales Strategy,
• Implementation of ISO 9001 for 11 companies in the metallurgical industry,
• Creating a Cluster in the form of an association: "Dieppe Méca-Energies", with Mr Patrice GAULT as President

The association consists of 63 companies employing more than 4,100 employees, institutions, schools, research institutes and groups, engaging in joint efforts:

• Responding to calls for tenders for the EPR nuclear reactor at Penly,
• Responding to tenders for the wind turbine sector,
• Training for new professions associated with energy,
• Research and development, technology transfer in partnership with universities, patent searches,
• Industrialization: training or retraining for new jobs,
• Support for businesses in difficulty,
• Projects for shared activities: Research and Development, Quality and Human Resources,
• Participation in trade fairs and other promotional activities (example: MIDEST trade fair...)

Local business leaders are located in the heart of the cluster : they will define the activities and decide on the pace of the process.

The company projects are supported by a network of federated participants within a steering committee.

Participants in the technical development project must share a culture of supporting the project.
