GIC represents a group of companies dedicated to the automotive business with a global turnover of €115 million and 2500 employees.
With 40 years of experience, the GIC Group has an optimised organisational structure, driven forward by customer requirements and technological innovation. GIC operates in 3 major sectors, offering their customers complete manufacturing solutions based on the synergies between these 3 fields:
- Thermoplastics
- Metal Processing
- Assemblies
The core business of GIC group company, Subansamble Auto SA, is thermoplastic and polyurethane processing for Automotive. By maintaining pace with process technologies and utilising the latest machinery and equipment Subansamble increasingly won the confidence of new customers. The relationships started with local OEM’s before developing into Tier 2 high level companies across Europe.
Staying close to their customers, adapting their structure and offering a flexible approach to their individual needs, resulted in a very successful 10-year period. Over this time turnover doubled and the company invested heavily in new processing equipment.
Subansamble has now become a reference point and household name for the automotive industry. The machinery supplier of choice was Negri Bossi where Subansamble quoted process accuracy, consistent high-quality parts and reliable delivery times as the main reason for selection.
Alin Zafir – Project Manager says “Negri Bossi’s team showed us a high level of professionalism starting from RFQ phase until the installation and start-up of the machines. This assured us that we are on a good track in our cooperation. The new equipment offered by Negri Bossi for our injection moulding business was a key part of our success, demonstrating a robust process on new and reliable machines with improved control and higher efficiency”.
Subansamble has Negri Bossi machines up to VH1500 tonnes, including a multi-colour (Mulitmat) supplied with an automatic rotary table. A recent order for two Vector V650 and two Canbio ST 500 tonne machines will further develop the relationship between the two companies.
