Gardette Industries - leading key manufacturing and machining in France


Over time, Gardette Industries has succeeded in making a place for itself as one of Europe's pioneers in manufacturing and machining keys.

Fuelled by industrial power and meticulous quality procedures, we have constantly developed with one goal in mind: providing you with the top-notch quality that you need.



From standard to tailor-made keys, we strive to respond as quickly as possible to your queries, from the quote right up to the final delivery.


At Gardette Industries, we use our own raw materials, cold-drawn at our factory in Villars, France, enabling us to optimise production while minimising waste.

As for the machining process, we have a fleet of almost 100 machines at our site located in Villefranche-sur-Saône, France.

Our milling and CNC equipment are assisted by robotic systems specially designed for loading and unloading machining centres, which improves performance considerably.

What are slotted machine keys?

Slotted parallel keys are standard keys, usually produced according to DIN 6885 standards, with one or more through holes.

These slots allow the key to be fixed to the shaft or to the fastened component using screws or pins. Such keys are commonly used in applications that require additional fastening to avoid any axial shaft movement.

What are threaded keys?

Threaded keys are similar to slotted keys, except the through holes have an internal thread into which screws can be inserted. This allows for even sturdier fastening.

Keys with an internal thread are used in applications where very secure fixing is required.

What are custom-made keys used for?

In industry

  • Custom keys are used in various industries, such as the automotive, aeronautical, machinery manufacturing and energy sectors.
    Their versatility means they are suited to a wide range of mechanical applications.
