Industrial control systems and sensors for harsh-environment applications
MAFELEC TEAM manufactures HMI interfaces, detection systems, and lighting controls for industrial, rail, defense, and aerospace sectors across 100+ countries. The engineering-heavy hiring mix—concentrated in design and manufacturing—reflects active work on system architecture, product industrialization, and process standardization. Pain points around production continuity, non-quality costs, and supplier capability suggest scaling challenges typical of a €100M+ contract manufacturer moving from custom designs toward repeatable platforms.
MAFELEC TEAM designs and produces subassemblies and equipment for environments with extreme temperature, vibration, or corrosive exposure. The product portfolio spans human-machine interfaces, sensors, industrial lighting, and control systems for rail, buses, industrial vehicles, energy, defense, and elevator markets. Established in 1947, the company operates through seven subsidiary brands (Mafelec, Petercem Sensors, Petercem Switches, Stopcircuit, Full Electronic System, TSL-Escha, Comtronic) across France, Germany, Poland, and China. With 700 employees and €100 million in annual revenue, MAFELEC TEAM serves a global customer base requiring custom engineering and production at scale.
The company uses Creo, CATIA, and SolidWorks for design, complemented by MATLAB for simulation and IFS for enterprise resource planning and manufacturing execution.
The company is headquartered in Chimilin, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France, with additional operations in Germany, Poland, and China.
