OUR SERVICES
At STPM, we support industrial companies at various stages of project maturity – from prototyping, surface treatment, contact material analysis to obsolescence management and metal recycling. We provide sustainable and compliant solutions in order to secure your supply chains.
PROTOTYPING
At STPM, we turn your electrical and mechanical requirements into prototype and
pre-series parts, helping you secure the right choice of alloy, geometry and coating to
speed-up your decision-making process.
Whether it’s for the production of single or bimetallic rivets/studs, pellets, plates, or
any other contact materials, we are here to bring your development projects to reality.

SURFACE TREATMENT
Looking for solutions to optimise costs or to improve the resistance of a contact material to corrosion or welding phenomena ?
STPM supports industrial partners in selecting the most appropriate surface treatments by identifying the optimal balance between cost optimisation and product performance.

CONTACT MATERIAL ANALYSES
Do you need to identify the real composition of a contact material (pads, rivets, plates, …) or understand the origin of electrical or mechanical failures on some of your products ?
STPM, in partnership with accredited laboratories, carries out physicochemical studies and failure analyses to establish the causes, objectify the results and secure your choice of contact materials supply.

OBSOLESCENCE MANAGEMENT
Regulatory changes, industrial or commercial decisions to stop the manufacture of specific materials, process evolution, scarcity of specific contact materials…
Any unanticipated obsolescence may result in maintenance delays, equipment downtime, sudden cost increases, or critical dependence on a single supplier. These risks must be addressed efficiently to ensure continuity and performance.
STPM supports you in managing these challenges.
A typical example : the replacement of silver cadmium oxide (AgCdO) with other materials due to environmental directives (RoHS, REACH). Cadmium is a hazardous substance for humans and our environment.
How does STPM support you ?
- Analysis of obsolete components or materials
- Identification of technically compatible alternatives
- Selection of qualified and reliable manufacturers
- Cost and availability optimization
- Prototype proposal followed by serial production support

RECYCLING
Do you have waste containing non-ferrous metals such as light metals (Al, Ti), base metals (Cu, Zn, Sn), precious metals (Au, Ag, Pd, Rh) or rare metals (Li, W, Ni, Co), and are ensure how to manage it or recover its value ?
STPM offers tailored solutions for efficient metal recovery.
