Made in France at FDI: choosing a more responsible and local industrial model

In an electronics sector that is often outsourced, FDI is making a bold choice: producing in France, at the heart of its own region, with committed local partners.
An approach that reflects a desire to build a more sustainable, more responsible, and more human-centered industrial model.

A solid and somplementary local ecosystem

By working with nearby partners such as APPI, ADP85, APF Entreprises – ESAT du Cormier, and ASM France, FDI benefits from a rich and agile industrial network.
This choice ensures:

  • increased responsiveness,
  • controlled quality,
  • daily operational synergies,
  • short supply chains and optimized logistics.

These partnerships are built on long-term relationships, mutual trust, and a shared vision of a more virtuous French industrial model.

APPI– Local Electronics and Logistics Partner

APPI supports FDI in essential electronics operations, including:

  • production and assembly of electronic subassemblies,
  • quality control of boards and components,
  • management of short supply flows to secure lead times and deliveries.

This partnership ensures precision, responsiveness, and technical mastery at every stage.

ADP85 – Specialist in Plastic Injection and Eco-Production

ADP85 handles the manufacturing of FDI’s plastic parts through:

  • 100% electric injection presses,
  • a process for grinding and reinjecting plastic sprues,
  • reusable shuttle boxes instead of cardboard.

Proximity to FDI also enables tailored deliveries using their own truck, further strengthening short supply chains and logistical flexibility.

ASM France– Local Expert in Injection Molds

ASM France designs and produces plastic injection molds, which are crucial for FDI’s housings and technical components.
Thanks to their expertise:

  • molds are developed locally,
  • timelines and adjustments are tightly controlled,
  • French industrial know-how is preserved and enhanced.

This strategic partnership secures a key stage in the production chain.

APF Entreprises – ESAT du Cormier: An Inclusive and Human Partnership

ESAT du Cormier supports people with disabilities by providing supervised employment, professional training, and tailored support, while contributing to FDI’s production.
Through this partnership:

  • teams are trained in wiring and electronics,
  • technical skills develop within the workshops,
  • professional inclusion is supported in a tangible way.

This collaboration even enabled the permanent hiring of a team member within FDI, illustrating a lasting human commitment and an inclusive model at the heart of Made in France.

Partners Committed to a More Responsible Approach

FDI’s local partners themselves lead strong environmental initiatives:

  • self-production of electricity (250 kW photovoltaic),
  • reduction and reuse of packaging,
  • energy optimization of equipment,
  • recycling and reinjection of plastic materials,
  • replacement of cardboard with reusable shuttle boxes.

These actions strengthen a collective dynamic focused on more efficient, responsible, and controlled production.

Preserving and Showcasing French Industrial Excellence

By relying on APPI, ADP85, ASM France, and ESAT du Cormier, FDI helps maintain:

  • local industrial skills,
  • a strong regional economic network,
  • a recognized French technical sector.

Each partnership gives meaning to Made in France: proximity, quality, and respect for the territory.

A Forward-Looking Made in France

FDI stands by a clear conviction: a more responsible, local, and collaborative industrial model is a real lever for the future.
Alongside its partners, the company is building a more sustainable, human-centered industry, deeply rooted in its environment.
