On September 24, 2026, Vulkam officially inaugurated its 2,600-square-meter production facility in Le Versoud, Isère. Eighteen months after laying the foundation stone, this industrial plant consolidates all the technological capabilities developed by our team since 2017.

A facility with end-to-end value chain mastery
By controlling the entire value chain, from raw metal to the finished micromechanical part, Vulkam establishes itself as the operational leader in this new metallurgical sector, featuring an initial production line with a capacity of 2 million parts per year. Developed by Vulkam, Vulkalloys® are known as “amorphous” alloys. Their disorganized atomic structure distinguishes them from traditional metals and significantly enhances their performance. They deliver unprecedented mechanical properties and are suitable for a wide range of applications: aerospace, defense, medical, microtechnology, watchmaking, marine, mobility, as well as sports and leisure.
