Robots, pace, and quality: ACTIA’s factories in Tunisia at the heart of large-scale production

Among the group’s industrial sites, ACTIA’s factories in Tunisia play a key role in the group’s overall industrial organization.

A strategic link in ACTIA’s industrial ecosystem

Specialized in large-scale productions, these factories enable the group to effectively meet the needs of demanding markets such as automotive, home automation, household appliances, or railways, with production capacities reaching up to one million parts per year.

Thanks to their geographical proximity to Europe (only two hours’ flight from France) ACTIA’s Tunisian sites represent a major logistical asset to optimize production and supply lead times.

They are fully aligned with the group’s strategy of flexibility and industrial resilience, complementing the factories in France and the United States. This international network helps secure productions, ensure great agility, and quickly adapt to market changes and geopolitical contexts.

Finally, these Tunisian sites benefit from strong interaction with the group’s R&D and engineering teams, supporting industrial innovation and the development of new solutions.

A next-generation robotic line

It is in this context that a robotic production line has been deployed in Tunisia, fully illustrating the group’s ability to combine automation, technical expertise, and quality requirements.

Designed to meet the demands of high-volume markets, this next-generation robotic line allows production at a sustained pace while ensuring a high level of quality.

“It is a semi-automatic robotic line, with automatic transitic modules, to limit human handling and guarantee pace, reliability, and quality,” explains Hela BAJOUCO, Director of Industrial Studies at ACTIA.

“Build to print” expertise serving complex projects

Capable of producing up to 1 million parts per year, this line was co-developed by multicultural teams from France and Tunisia. A collaborative experience and skill building that illustrates ACTIA’s commitment to providing its clients with high-quality products within deadlines and volumes.

“We are talking about 1,000,000 products per year, of course while ensuring the required quality level, which is a strong commitment for ACTIA,” emphasizes Hela BAJOUCO.

Thanks to its “build to print” expertise, ACTIA offers a true turnkey service for complex industrial projects. Internal mastery of the entire process, from design to automation, ensures total consistency and increased reliability for clients.

What you need to know automatic transitics in industrial engineering

These are mechanized systems that ensure the automated transport of parts between the different assembly or control stations on the line. This limits human handling, speeds up flows, and reduces the risks of error or component damage.

EMS and engineering: adapting production from start-up to global industry

Whether for prototyping a start-up or millions of parts for a global player, ACTIA adapts its industrial tool.

“We can start with 100 boards for a client in the railway market or for an innovative start-up, and go up to 5 million units for consumer products. This ability to adjust our resources truly allows us to offer the right EMS service to each client,” explains Hela BAJOUCO.

This flexibility relies on a strategic industrial network: France (Colomiers), Tunisia (CIPI), and the United States, enabling production as close as possible to final markets.

“If an American client wants an automated line like that of CIPI ACTIA, we can reproduce it in the United States to offer them a true ‘Made in local,’” she specifies.

Made in local and mirror factories: an industrial strategy designed for resilience

ACTIA has built an agile industrial model, capable of facing geopolitical, economic, or logistical challenges.

“Our industrial sites operate as mirrors, with skill transfers and back-up between factories. This allows us to secure productions and ensure continuity, even in times of crisis,” explains Hela BAJOUCO.

This ability to quickly transfer productions from one plant to another enables ACTIA to support its clients as closely as possible to their needs and markets.

“Our engineers are very close to the factories. That is what makes our industrial tool both agile and efficient,” adds Hela.

Collective engineering serving strategic markets

ACTIA leverages the richness of its multi-sector expertise (automotive, energy, telecom, railway, aeronautics) to offer tailored solutions.

“We can easily move from a telecom project to an energy project. We share engineering, testing, and design according to needs. That is the strength of a group that masters the entire value chain,” specifies Hela BAJOUCO.

Thanks to this transversal and collaborative approach, ACTIA is able to co-build innovative solutions with its clients.

“Our clients involve us very early, in co-design and DFM (Design for Manufacturing) processes. We know how to challenge their plans to optimize industrial feasibility and ensure product performance from the very first design phases,” she continues.

Why ACTIA is a “mine of engineers” according to its clients

While automation is an essential lever at ACTIA, human expertise is the true driving force.

“For the past three years, we have integrated experts from aeronautics, automotive, and other demanding sectors. Machines are good, but without engineers to design, operate, and improve them, nothing works,” states Hela BAJOUCO.

This technical excellence is also widely recognized by ACTIA’s clients. A major player in the aeronautics sector testifies:

“At ACTIA, what makes the difference is adaptability, agility, and flexibility, as well as their engineering and technical skills. ACTIA is a true mine of engineers.
And that is what makes all the difference.”
