About Societex

Industry

  • Tôlerie Jannin-Carnet is an exceptional story, initiated by Gérard JANNIN-CARNET in 1973, who was joined in the family adventure in 2003 by his two daughters, Nathalie and Sandrine.
  • In 2015, Nathalie and Sandrine took over the management of the company. They have successfully implemented an industrial plan, placing TJC at the cutting edge of technology to better satisfy its customers. A major lean-management project has been carried out in recent years, laying the foundations for long-term development.
  • Specialising in fine precision sheet metal work for cutting-edge industries, TJC employs 35 people in Fragnes-la-Loyère (Saône-et-Loire) and has enjoyed steady growth over the past 5 years. The company expects to achieve sales of over €6m in 2023. TJC plays an active role in its customers’ industrialisation projects, shares its technical know-how in product development and optimises production on an ongoing basis.
  • TJC works on behalf of French and international customers in demanding sectors such as rail, defence, ticketing, energy storage, etc.
  • Gilles Bennardo is a native of Chalonnais with a passion for industry. After 20 years’ experience as an employee, first with Pechiney as Production Manager, then as Plant Manager with Smurfit Kappa, Orangina and Amcor, he decided to set up his own business in 2019. As a freelance consultant with Akuit, he is working on the takeover of a company, and provides transitional operational management assignments (Gerresheimer, Panzani, Ynsect, etc.).
  • The JANNIN-CARNET family chose to entrust Gilles with the future development of TJC on the basis of shared values such as humility, customer service, a passion for technology and the desire to preserve local employment.
  • Gilles is backed by regional investors UI Investissement and BDR Invest, who have been working with him for nearly two years to identify a company with strong growth potential.
