In Grenoble, we created a unit dedicated to the <strong>manufacture of prototypes<\/strong> and <strong>single parts<\/strong>. At the same time, we transferred our main production activities &#8211; <strong>aluminum casting<\/strong> and <strong>machining<\/strong> of small series from 10 to 250 parts &#8211; to our first partner in Europe. At the same time, all production destined for the aftermarket and industry has been entrusted to a second partner.   <\/p>\n<p>These two alliances have gone from strength to strength ever since. Very quickly, we had to surround ourselves with a number of subcontractors in order to meet the multiple demands of our customers, often in highly specialized fields requiring specific skills and know-how, such as the manufacture of valves, gaskets, camshafts, or surface treatment. <\/p>\n<h5><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s always a solution to the unanswerable &#8220;Since 1960, BRETILLE Piston has been making the heart of your car and motorcycle engines beat faster.
