The needs of Décolletage DE REU  

Learn more about this family business   

Décolletage DE REU is a family business founded almost 94 years ago. It is specialized in metal machining for small parts. Décolletage DE REU is your partner and subcontractor in screw machining and precision mechanics. It is the only screw-cutting factory in the Pas-de-Calais (France).

The company is very diversified and is present in more than 10 business areas(railway, medical or aeronautics, …).  In the same family for 4 generations now, DÉCOLLETAGE DE REU was bought 10 years ago by Joffrey DE REU, CEO.    

Certified ISO 9001 and EN9100 you can count on the quality of their products. How can we be sure? Pronal has been a customer for many years!   

The company is growing and has completed a building extension last year. In addition, it is making numerous investments in CNC lathes and machining centers.   

Reminder of the standards   

 In France, “La Défense Exterieure Contre L’incendie” has set up standards to be respected in order to ensure the safety of all. Indeed, in case of fire, the fire and rescue services must have a sufficiently large hydraulic capacity to secure a  building or an area.  The hydraulic facilities of a fire water reserve depend on its capacity in m3.  

Need for a water reserve    

Due to the extension of the building, DÉCOLLETAGE DE REU was no longer in compliance with the DECI standards. Indeed, before, they were indexed on the fire hydrants of the village. However, with the extension, the fire hydrants no longer had the capacity to secure the entire perimeter.   

Therefore, the company needed a 120 m3 fire fighting water tank.

 Our flexible fire tank is the perfect solution to equip buildings with water points and to bring them up to standard.
