Profile

Our know-how

As an ultrasonic equipment manufacturer, SONIMAT provides assembly, welding, cutting and slicing solutions. We also master assembly technologies using hot plate assembly as well as mirror, infrared, spin and laser welding.

SONIMAT provides its expertise for many business sectors: aeronautics, food-industry, automotive, cosmetics, electronics, medical, energy, plastics, fabrics and more. For our customers, we continuously innovate to design solutions and processes in many areas: Plastic welding, food slicing, packaging sealing, welding and cutting of woven or non-woven textiles, composite cutting and welding.

From design to making your products, processes and machines, our technicians and engineers provide a quality service and tailor-made responses fully adapted to your needs and requirements. From our experience, we now use an approach based on fully understanding needs in order to implement tailor-made solutions.

With 20% of our turnover from export, SONIMAT supports its customers all over the world, based on the international development of the Europe technologies group.

Our technical means and locations

Design office, machine fleet, assembly workshop, testing room, testing laboratory and more. To ensure a high level of services and allow our employees to work in the best possible conditions, we are equipped with the most efficient equipment.

We now have 3 locations: in Lencloître (Vienne), in Valserhône (Ain) and in Carquefou (Loire-Atlantique)

SONIMAT solutions are also available in China and the United States via our  EMPOWERING TECHNOLOGIES subsidiaries.

Lencloître (Vienne - 86)

Valserhône (Ain - 01)

Carquefou (Loire-Atlantique - 44)

Key dates

1993

With 15 years of experience in the ultrasound sector, Luc Hachette establishes SONIMAT.

A distribution agreement is signed with an American company.

The thermoplastics market generates most of our work.

1994-1995

1st application of non-woven product welding.

Commissioning of the 1st food industry slicer.

Carbon fibre cutting via robot and Cartesian movement.

1997-1998

In addition to distribution, SONIMAT moves towards the production of equipment incorporating ultrasound (machines and processes).

1999-2000

SONIMAT develops its own digital ultrasonic generator unit. With more communication features, it facilitates commissioning of machines and ease of use by customers.

The range of products is transferred to the new generator (press, metal welding, hand-gun).

2001-2002

SONIMAT moves onto the packaging market – High speed continuous ultrasonic welding of Doypack type sachets (500 sachets/minute).

2003

Development and marketing of a new, more competitive generator (single board) in order to position itself in high-volume business sectors.

2004

International development. We sign a partnership contract with a Canadian company for food industry slicing equipment in North America.

1st continuous welding application of long fibre composites.

SONIMAT joins the Europe Technologies group.

2005-2007

Establishment of partnerships in Italy in the textile industry, and in France in the non-woven fabrics sector.

Acceleration of developments in aeronautics (composite).

Spin, hot plate and infrared welding on fully digital machines, new processes are released on the market for thermoplastics welding.

2008

Marketing of a new generation of food industry slicers.

2011

Launch of a SONIMAT branch in Ain (Oyonnax, France – SONIMAT EST) in the heart of the Plastic Valley, specialising in thermoplastic welding using hot plate, infrared, laser, spin and ultrasonic technologies.

2014

Our CARQUEFOU base (SONIMAT OUEST) increases its skills level with composite welding and cutting solutions developed for our aeronautical customers (Airbus, Daher, etc.).

2016

Strong growth in the automotive plastic welding activity. SONIMAT (EST) is inaugurated and moves into the new building in Valserhône (Ain). The staff on site grows.

2017-2018

The automotive plastic welding activity undergoes record growth with 60 welding machines delivered per year for these 2 years.

Thermoplastic welding and composite cutting solutions have now gained strong international visibility.

The food industry slicing activity earns some good references with Boncolac and Lactalis (customized machine for ultrasonic slicing).

2019

Launch of the new ESW range unveiled at K2019.

Development and structure of the Composite Effector range (SSP, SONIBLADE, SONIWELD).

Extension of the Valserhône building (new locality of Châtillon-en-Michaille) to cope with the growth of the thermoplastic welding sector
