04 - Our concept and values

SESA SYSTEMS has developed into a concept based on LEAN Manufacturing. LEAN is a set of production techniques developed by Toyota. The aim is to eliminate waste, produce the right quantities, reduce costs and manage production cycles more effectively. Thanks to products addressing all these areas for improvement, we have become a global leader in LEAN Manufacturing.
Our philosophy is simple: streamline production flows by eliminating all waste (MUDA), standardising tools and sharing information through visual management. We have upheld these values since 1990:

  • Excellence
  • Innovation
  • Respect
  • Friendliness
  • Passion

Discover our Lean Enterprise catalogue

Our products meet our customers' requirements and expectations in corporate social responsibility, well-being at work and digitalisation. New products focus on the Factory of the Future, with INDUSTRY 4.0 ranges, electric workstations and trolleys, the Creativity Space and LEAN Schools. The entire SESA SYSTEMS team is available to support your projects, including on site. Explore products, solutions, tools and our best applications across our 8 product ranges in this catalogue.

From design to dispatch

Every year, we improve our products and create new ones to meet our customers' needs as effectively as possible while keeping pace with the latest market trends and developments.
Our goal is to help you perform better using the LEAN tools we have implemented since 1990.

01 - Innovation is at the heart of our priorities

SESA SYSTEMS constantly seeks innovative solutions, designs and manufactures in France, and ships worldwide. Our R&D department develops original new products every year. Since 1990, we have made more than 2,700 exclusive Made in France references available to industrial sites to help them achieve even greater performance. The originality of the SESA SYSTEMS concept lies in its extensive use of anodised aluminium profiles designed and developed by SESA SYSTEMS, combining ease of maintenance, modularity, flexibility and design.
Eco-design principles have been applied for several years, allowing our products to be easily processed at the end of their life thanks to aluminium profiles. Energy efficiency is promoted through the standardisation of low-energy LED lighting.
SESA SYSTEMS has developed a corporate social responsibility and environmental policy with an integrated system for processing and recovering waste (paper, cardboard, aluminium and wood), along with a zero smoke-emissions policy.
