OUR HISTORY

A GREAT FAMILY OF ENTHUSIASTS

As the Beatles' last concert takes place in San Francisco, Henri Durandard, an independent craftsman since 1959, founded the eponymous company in 1966 as a corporation specializing in precision mechanical machining in Cluses, Rhône-Alpes, at the heart of the Mont-Blanc valley.

After decades of developments and production of high value-added parts in various fields such as aeronautics, railways, and hydraulics, DURANDARD, still family-owned, joined the PERROTTON Group in 2022 in Pontchy near Bonneville to increase its production possibilities and approach the future with great prospects for growth.

The DURANDARD company is above all the adventure of passionate men for the world of precision turning. Far more than just a profession, it is a culture, a tradition, and a strong identity that brings the Arve Valley to life, to which they are deeply attached.

It is a passion passed down from generation to generation, and the founder's descendants present in the company are proud to perpetuate this heritage, know-how, and capacity to innovate.

Today, they are still constantly striving for performance, quality, and competitiveness. It is through contact with their clients that they have developed over the years, rigor, reliability, and mastery of precision.
