Since 1997, ASM has been designing and installing special machines for industrial clients in Provence and throughout the South Region, from simple semi-automatic workstations to fully automated lines. With two design and manufacturing sites, in Gardanne (13) and Biot (06), we serve the Bouches-du-Rhône, Var, Vaucluse, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, Hautes-Alpes and Alpes-Maritimes departments.

Our expertise in industrial automation allows us to effectively support companies located in the Bouches-du-Rhône (13), Alpes-de-Haute-Provence (04), Var (83) and Vaucluse (84) departments. We operate throughout the region to modernize production tools, improve safety and strengthen the competitiveness of industrial sites in Provence.

From Toulon to Brignoles, the Var region has cutting-edge industries: naval and defense, aeronautics, electronics, and numerous SMEs in the business parks of La Farlède, La Garde or Signes.
Vaucluse
Around Avignon, Cavaillon, and Carpentras, the food processing, packaging, and cosmetics industries need packaging, palletizing, and quality control lines, particularly with machines in cleanroom.
