Our design office and workshop in Gardanne, between Aix-en-Provence and Marseille, support your projects from the initial specifications to commissioning: semi-automatic workstations, fully automated lines, robotic cells, and cobots. Since 1997, we have designed over 300 machines.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A location in Gardanne, in the heart of the Bouches-du-Rh\u00f4ne<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deeply rooted in the Bouches-du-Rh\u00f4ne region through its subsidiary HighTaiX, the ASM team specializes in the design and manufacture of special machines. Our Puits Morandat site in Gardanne brings together 6 engineers and technicians: mechanical engineers, automation engineers, and robotics engineers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This close proximity makes all the difference in a custom machine project. We visit your workstation before providing a quote, you can follow the progress of your machine in our workshop, and the final acceptance at our factory takes place just a few dozen minutes from your site. After delivery, our technicians are on-site quickly for maintenance and upgrades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Address: HighTaiX, Puits Morandat, 1480 avenue d&#039;Arm\u00e9nie, 13120 Gardanne<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Telephone: 04 92 91 92 93<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Email: contact@asm-indus.com<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"578\" src=\"https:\/\/www.asm-indus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Batiment-HighTaiX-1024x578.jpg\" alt=\"Atelier HighTaiX de machines sp\u00e9ciales \u00e0 Gardanne (13)\" class=\"wp-image-6054\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our special machines for industrial companies in the 13th arrondissement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We support manufacturers in the PACA region in their production automation projects, integrating the technologies your process needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Semi-automatic workstations and assembly machines<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When full automation isn&#039;t necessary, an assisted workstation improves the speed, repeatability, and ergonomics for your operators.
