In late 1969, Socitec was transformed into a simplified joint-stock company with registered capital of 15,000 Euros, and it now has registered capital of 800,000 Euros. • Initially, SOCITEC devoted itself to representing mainly North American manufacturing industries in France, developing top-end products that did not exist on the French market. So originally, the main line of business was the distribution of electro-mechanical and mechanical parts such as tachogenerators, speed reducers, torque motors, and shock and vibration absorbers.. • Since 1978, SOCITEC has manufactured metal suspensions with outstanding mechanical characteristics (major shock absorption, endurance and reliability, no ageing, the ability to withstand harsh chemical, mechanical and thermal environments, etc.).. • The shock and vibration line of business was grouped together under the wing of the SOCITEC Vibrations Division based at Sartrouville (Yvelines). All of the administrative, technical and sales departments, as well as the manufacturing workshop, are located there. SOCITEC has formed an integral part of the BMP Group since 11 January 2001.
