The difficulty lay in the fact that we wanted to combine the responsiveness of firms that made up the conglomerate HIT, each with its own identity, with the power of a group. Skip to the status of co-contractor the same time, Bodycote HIT (1,300 employees, 815 million francs in sales) will rise from its current status as a subcontractor to that of co-contractor..

In 2000, investments include 50 million francs in Normandy, Saint-Nicolas-d’Aliermont, and 26 million francs in Beaugency (Loiret) to meet the demands of two major contractors. He also committed a budget of 20 million francs to build a new factory in Puy-de-Dome. The group, which owns 60% of the French heat treatment, will further diversify its activities in the surface treatment, a complementary activity to its core business, but its potential is 10 times higher.

The group is currently completing an investment of more than 20 million francs in the company that employs fifty employees.
