French Foundry Manoir to Digitise Source-to-Contract with Metalshub

Düsseldorf, Germany, May 5 2025 – Metalshub, the industry leader for raw material procurement and sales, is happy to announce that Manoir France (Formally Manoir Industries), a global metal casting processing company, has chosen to leverage Metalshub’s digital platform to optimise raw material sourcing, ensuring better cost efficiency and supply chain resilience. This strategic collaboration comes as Manoir France, now part of the Paralloy Group (Which includes all of the Paralloy and Firth Vickers companies), accelerates its post-merger integration. By leveraging Metalshub’s platform, Manoir France aims to expand its supplier network, improve supply chain security, and streamline raw material procurement. The platform will serve as a single source of truth for Manoir France and Paralloy’s material specifications and tendering processes, ensuring alignment across the group.

With Metalshub’s latest innovations, including AI smart completion, group purchasing, and advanced data analytics dashboards, Manoir France will gain powerful tools to automate procurement processes, enable local purchasing with global oversight, and unlock deep data-driven insights. These enhancements will further strengthen supply chain security, enabling Manoir to operate with greater flexibility, efficiency, and resilience.

For over a century, the Manoir site has been at the forefront of metallurgical advancements, serving industries such as petrochemicals, nuclear, defence, railway and oil & gas. With this partnership, Manoir France gains access to a global network of verified suppliers, ensuring competitive pricing and reducing supply chain risks. This move aligns with the company’s commitment to innovation, sustainability, and operational excellence and supports Paralloy’s broader strategy to integrate Manoir France into its global operations, driving innovation and efficiency across the group’s supply chain.

Metalshub’s co-founder and managing director, Dr Sebastian Kreft, highlighted Metalshub’s role in enabling procurement and post-merger integration. “We are excited that Metalshub has been selected as the procurement solution for Manoir, a leading French foundry in the nuclear industry that was recently acquired by the Paralloy Group,” said Dr Kreft.

“This marks another significant step in our journey of helping foundry groups streamline their procurement processes across borders. We are proud to support the post-merger integration process and look forward to continuing our collaboration with Paralloy and helping Manoir reach its full potential.” This collaboration underscores a broader trend of digitalisation in the metals industry, as more companies shift to data-driven procurement for improved decision-making and sustainability tracking.
