Special machinery design
Collaborative approach and complementary skills

At TCM – THOMAS CONSTRUCTIONS MECANIQUES, designing special machinery is not just a job for engineers. It involves a collaborative approach, combining experience, innovation and expertise in highly-specific fields.

Over 75 years of experience at your service

Working in close collaboration with your teams, our highly qualified engineers determine the technical solutions best suited to your specific use.
These solutions are analysed, detailed, quantified and drafted.
We produce all the mechanical and electrical work drawings and manufacturing documents, develop the automation software, etc.
Our technical solutions are developed according to your requirements and technical standards, while prioritising a custom-made product that combines performance and reliability.


The feasibility of the selected solutions is systematically reviewed with the manufacturing teams upstream of the production phases.
This is one of the advantages to having all of our skilled employees (from the design to commissioning teams) working under one roof.

Overall strategic planning

Environmental and functional constraints (safety, cleanliness, hygiene, accessibility, ageing, etc.) are duly listed and taken into account in the design phase.

When making technical decisions, we take into account our customers’ skills and technical resources.

By selecting technological solutions that are a good fit with your internal technical resources, we ensure that your equipment is easier to operate and effective to maintain, at lower cost throughout its life cycle.

Exhaustive approach

With the close collaboration between our development and manufacturing teams, our full control of the value chain and our expertise in the sector, the testing, development, commissioning and technical acceptance phases are carefully planned and incorporated into the project schedule from the design phase.
