Their core offerings include custom wire springs such as compression, tension, and torsion springs, alongside flat springs, coiled springs, and clips made from steel, stainless steel, and copper alloys. The company also excels in producing functional parts, including press-fit connectors, and utilizes techniques like overmolding and assembly to enhance product functionality.

CGR's capabilities in metal forming, coiling, cutting, and precision machining allow them to serve a diverse clientele in the automotive, aerospace, electrical engineering, industrial applications, and medical sectors, with distribution across Europe, North America, and Asia.

Their revenue generation is driven primarily through B2B transactions, focusing on partnerships with clients in the automotive, aerospace, and industrial sectors. The company engages in contract-based agreements, realizing revenue through bespoke component deliveries, ensuring a consistent flow of orders driven by long-term collaborations and their expertise in co-engineering and process optimization. CGR International plans to launch new products including innovative spring designs and enhanced mechatronic components within the next 12 months. The company is targeting expansion into new markets in Asia and North America by the end of 2024.

Recent funding efforts will support these initiatives, particularly in ramping up production capabilities and investing in research and development to foster innovation in their product lines. Additionally, the exit of Vauban Partenaires from their stake in CDR International marks a strategic shift that may influence future investment opportunities.
