Itafran's story

Founded in 1973, Itafran is a wholesale company in the mechanical power transmission sector. Appreciated for its commercial know-how and its mechanical expertise, Itafran accelerated its development by setting up in Lyon.

In 1991, the company was taken over by Mr. Le Goff, and a strategic shift was made with the desire to establish a purchasing circuit from China, where the industrial emergence of Asia is spectacular. A partnership agreement, still in force, was signed in China with a world leader in the manufacture of gears and pinions. Itafran continued to develop a very close relationship of trust, especially with the main Chinese factories, now world leaders in many mechanical transmission components.

From 1992 to 2000, Itafran continued its rise in the mechanical transmission sector by creating an increasingly important logistics center, increasing from 300 m2 to 4000 m2, and a second platform was opened in Dijon (21 Côte d'Or).

Quality being at the heart of Itafran's commercial policy, a technical office has been opened in Hangzhou (China - Zhejiang Province) in order to be closer to the Chinese factories and to check the conformity of the different products.

In fifteen years, Itafran has confirmed its position as the French leader in mechanical transmission components.
