>> Introduction and History

In 1974, Mr Vincendeau installed his subcontractor activity in cutting and general engineering.
As he had passion for motor sport and especially in gravel application, he designed, manufactured and tested his first gearboxes in 1981. By equipping famous private customers, SADEV got its first titles in categories such as the Rallycross and autocross.

This passion took shape, and organized his team with various skills and a specialized workshop, for the study and gears cutting.
The 2000 year was marked by an expansion of 3000m² and therefore allowed SADEV to increase its industrial capacity to match the requirements needed for the Super 1600 rally category.


In this continuity, the takeover of the “Moulin” Foundry in 2003 allowed SADEV to expand its skills and knowledges, and enhanced its overall benefits through research and manufacturing of housings. This year was also a challenge with the new Super 2000 rally.
To gain more autonomy, SADEV added a new skill to its workshop: a complete heat treatment installation.

In 2006, SADEV became a reference in precision. Its will to remain as such and to progress is reflected by the integration of cutting and grinding of spiro conical in its logic of equipment.

In 2008, SADEV invested in an electron beam welding machine.
