THE STORY OF DECAYEUX STI

A family business

Founded in 1911 by the great-granduncle of the current CEO Stéphane Decayeux, this Picardy-based company is a key player in metal processing subcontracting (STI for subcontracting industrielle).

In 1985, after studying engineering in Lille, the current CEO Stéphane Decayeux joined the company.

He was then in charge of the company’s computerisation. “It was a great way to get to know all aspects of it. 

In 1993, he took over from his father at the head of the company, which had become a holding company three years earlier.

Today DECAYEUX STI is a group with 9 production sites, 6 in France, 2 in Romania and 1 in Morocco.

“Each site is specialised in one activity”

Stéphane Decayeux has been a member of the Entreprendre en Picardie network since 2014, where he shares his long experience as a company director
