CSR and eco-design
CSR andeco-design are 2 pillars of the company that are integrated into all our processes through the environmental, societal and social dimension. We are trained in-house to calculate the carbon footprint of each of our projects, so that we can reduce our footprint as much as possible and continually improve. We carry out a meticulous study of the design of each project with the aim of minimizing its energy consumption.
As part of this approach, we are certified by Ecovadis Silver and committed to ISO 26000. We only work with suppliers who meet the criteria we set, and who are respectful of people and the environment. All our suppliers are located less than 900 km from Avrillé, which guarantees delivery of our raw materials with minimal CO2 emissions.
LGC is also committed at local level by promoting technical and professional training courses with various market players (schools, public institutions...)

Our values at the heart of our industrial design processes
Customer focus
Everyone's ability to listen to the customer and provide maximum satisfaction over the long term (total quality vocation).
Team spirit
Helping each other and developing cohesion for the company's success. Share performance with colleagues.
Setting an example and a positive attitude
Adopt the behavior everyone expects of others. Optimism encourages the search for solutions and fosters good relationships.
Respect
Everyday attitude of "consideration" based on duties and rights.
Openness and questioning
The ability and willingness to take a broad, unprejudiced interest in new ideas, encouraging innovation.
The LGC method
The APQP quality process, an example of compliance
APQP (Advanced Product Quality Planning) is a collaborative project management method for planning and managing product quality throughout the product life cycle, from design to series production.
APQP is essential to guarantee the quality of the products and projects we co-develop with our design office. It provides crucial assurance for our customers and forms the basis of a lasting relationship of trust with our suppliers.
This tool is an OEM and Tier 1 prerequisite that we have adapted in-house.
It is this method that enables us to ensure product design and modification, and to manage industrial projects "right first time" while maximizing customer satisfaction.

Plan and define
Advanced engineering and project planning. Feasibility checks using the FMEA tool, which is used to analyze failure modes, their effects and criticality.
Prototyping
The project team creates prototypes using a 3D machine and simulation software such as SolidWorks Premium and Spacerclaim.
Product validation
Production of initial samples in medium series, and validation of production with PPAPs in accordance with IATF 16949.
Industrialization / Production
The production process is validated according to the production control plan drawn up by a multi-disciplinary team.
Assessment and improvement
After 3 to 6 months of series production, an assessment based on the criteria required by IATF 16949 verifies 100% project conformity.
Continuous improvement at LGC

PPM: 3PPM by 2022
Customer retention of 95% 2022
We commit the company and all our employees to success and compliance with our standards, based on 5S, Kaizen, TPM, Visual Management and Lean Manufacturing methods.
