CO.M.P.ES. FRANCE, located about 70 Km north of Paris, was founded through the acquisition of the die experimentation and construction division called "PHI" of the SOFTAL S.A. corporation.
The company has been officially operational in conformity with CO.M.P.ES. S.p.A. directives, since the end of 1998.

The first goals achieved were improving the level of quality and optimizing productivity, in order to improve service to the existing clientele, with subsequent natural expansion of the market, first in support of the French and Belgian markets of CO.M.P.ES. S.p.A., and later to work autonomously on the European market.

CO.M.P.ES. S.p.A. has benefited from this acquisition, both in terms of service to its clients and in terms of technical-engineering exchanges, bringing into the company the results of 10 years of experimentation carried out in the extrusion plants of SOFTAL – PECHINEY.
