METALBALL: precision to meet the highest standards

For more than twenty years, METALBALL has embodied French excellence in the manufacturing of high‑precision balls made from steel, stainless steel, ceramic, and plastic. Building on a century‑old know‑how, our company relies on a dedicated team and cutting‑edge technologies to meet the needs of the most demanding sectors: aerospace, space, and medical.

Our strength lies in our complete control of the manufacturing process, from the selection of premium materials to NADCAP‑qualified heat treatments, supported by advanced inspections and an integrated laboratory. Certified EN 9100 and ISO 9001, METALBALL guarantees reliable, compliant, and innovative products to its customers.

Driven by passion for our craft and a strong sense of collective responsibility, we make quality, collaboration, and continuous improvement the pillars of our performance.

At METALBALL,
every ball we produce is the result of patiently built expertise and a shared determination to strive for excellence.
