    Innovation Boite froide
    The search for quality, reliability, and competitiveness in responding to the demands of the market form the basis for innovation at MGI COUTIER. In essence, innovation is based solely around 2 objectives: to fulfil the same function at the lowest cost or meet environmental and safety requirements with controlled costs.

    To do this, we concentrate our efforts on the design of the product, the choice of materials, manufacturing processes, whilst taking a very structured approach with :
    - a hierarchisation of innovations through a matrix,
    - the use of problem solving methods, such as TRIZ.

    Latest innovations

    2009 has therefore witnessed the start of production of :


  • the SYSEO BIS a compact system (integrated in to the cam cover) to decant oil and increase performance (ensures oil is returned to the engine),



  • a connector for fuel circuits, the ease of connection (assembly/ disassembly) and the durability of the joints being the principle assets.
