A family story
“It was in 1926 that it all started, when my great-grandfather, with his brother-in-law, created the“ Lathuille-Béné ”bar turning company, which in 1951 would become the company. "Lathuille-Hudry". Originally, it produced parts in large series on a traditional bar turning lathe. In the 1980s, a technological turn was taken with the purchase of our first numerically controlled machine, which opened the way for increasingly complex parts and smaller and smaller series. It was from the 2000s, following the construction of a new site in the town of Marnaz, that my uncle Pierre took the initiative to direct part of our activity to the aeronautics and aircraft markets. defense. Today that represents 45% of our portfolio. ”
“In 2013, I made the choice to join the family business in order to strengthen the sales team. It was in 2018, with my brother and my cousin that we decided to officially take up the torch. ”
New life
“We are working for a positive impact on our environment, both socially, economically and ecologically. In March 2017, in collaboration with 17 other businesses in the region, Lathuille Hudy became a founding member of theGREEN association (Group for the Environmental Responsibility of Companies). Today, around 70 companies are members. The objective of this network is to unite businesses around projects that are beneficial for our territory and are spread over three themes: soft mobility, energy efficiency in buildings and the local circular economy. In short, coming together to work in an agile and voluntary way to put in place concrete actions. ”
