SIS Group
Across the globe
In 2015, SIS is an international group consisting of 5 sites in France and abroad
with nearly 1,200 employees worldwide.
A SIMPLE AND EFFICIENT GROUP-WIDE ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE
Founded in 1998, SIS is the result of the merger of three companies. Headquartered in Avoudrey, France since its creation, the company is ideally located in the heart of the microtechnology valley 20 miles from the Swiss border, right next to the biggest Swiss watch manufacturers.
The group is organized into Business Units that manage either specific customers or several customers in several industries. This is the case for the Straps, Bags and Trimmings business unit, which works for several customers.
Our various business units can operate independently and rely on shared support departments such as:
Supply chain, finance & accounting, human resources, methods, design, research and development, quality, test laboratories, etc.
This organization is not set in stone but continually adapts to our customers, products, markets and opportunities.
OUR SITES IN FRANCE

Our head office, supply chain centre, administrative offices, leathercraft training centre, restaurant and production facilities are spread over four buildings in the same village.

ABROAD

Every single production site is a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the group managed by European expatriates. The same three group activities are found at all our production sites (manufacture of watch straps, bags and trimming) plus the various technologies specific to the manufacture of our products.
