LE PISTON FRANCAIS
LE PISTON FRANCAIS is a French société par actions simplifiée (SAS) registered with the Registre du commerce et des sociétés (RCS) of Melun under SIREN 786 150 128 (VAT number FR59786150128). The registration number stored on this profile, 78615012800043, is the SIRET of its head-office establishment, not the company identifier. INSEE’s Sirene register lists the legal unit as active, with one open establishment out of four ever recorded: its head office at 1 rue du Chrome, Savigny-le-Temple (Seine-et-Marne), opened on 1 July 2014.
The company is an industrial machining business. Sirene classifies its principal activity as NAF 25.62B, industrial mechanical engineering (mécanique industrielle), and places it in the 100–199 employee band for 2024. Its registered object, as republished in a BODACC notice of 19 April 2013, was the manufacture of pistons and work on cars, motorcycles and industrial engines; the company’s name reflects that origin. The group website associated with the company describes its activity today as the machining of hard metals and mechanical assembly for the aerospace supply chain, with a Savigny site that has an assembly hall for engine modules.
The register dates are not consistent. Sirene gives the legal unit a creation date of 1 January 1961, while the 2013 BODACC notice records the start of activity as 30 June 1960. The company was registered in Paris (50 avenue des Champs-Élysées) until 2013, when its registered office moved to Savigny-le-Temple and its file moved to the Melun register; a further address change to rue du Chrome was published on 27 August 2014.
LE PISTON FRANCAIS files its own individual annual accounts (type C in the INPI financial-ratios open dataset). For the year ended 31 December 2025 it reported revenue of €26.98 million and a net profit of €0.41 million, against €24.70 million and a net loss of €0.57 million in 2024. Revenue fell to €13.57 million in 2020, with a net loss of €3.97 million, and recovered to €28.74 million in 2023. These are company-level figures, not group figures. BODACC publishes accounts-filing notices for every year from 2007 to 2025; the most recent, for the 2025 accounts, appeared on 7 July 2026. None of the company’s 27 BODACC notices concerns insolvency proceedings or removal from the register.
The website stored on this profile, groupe-lpf.com, is not published by this company. Its legal notice names a different company as publisher: FINANCIERE LPF, RCS Toulouse 512 366 535.

Shareholders

Shareholders of LE PISTON FRANCAIS
No public filing names the shareholder of LE PISTON FRANCAIS (SIREN 786 150 128). The register does show how many shareholders it had. The company’s BODACC notices of 18 May 2012, 19 April 2013, 26 August 2014 and 20 September 2015 give its legal form as a “société par actions simplifiée à associé unique”, a simplified joint-stock company with a single shareholder. The notice of 20 September 2015 is the latest one to state the form. The same notices record share capital of €4,000,000, after an increase published on 28 January 2011; the capital had stood at €182,938 in 2009.
French registers do not publish the identity or holdings of the shareholders of an SAS. So the single shareholder, and any percentage it holds, are not disclosed here.
The provider shareholder table on this page lists two natural persons, each shown as holding one ordinary share worth €1,600,000 (50%). No filing supports these rows. Two equal holders cannot be reconciled with the sole-shareholder form recorded at BODACC, and the stated values add up to €3.2 million, not the €4 million of registered capital. These rows should not be read as the company’s ownership.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
No ultimate beneficial owner can be identified from public sources. Since a ruling of the Court of Justice of the EU in November 2022, France’s register of beneficial owners (RBE) has not been open to the general public. No public filing gives a complete ownership chain from which an effective percentage could be calculated.
Data availability
Restricted. The register’s notices show that the company has one shareholder but do not name it. Beneficial-ownership data exists in the RBE, but public access to it is restricted.

Directors and officers of LE PISTON FRANCAIS
The French national business register (RNE), as served by recherche-entreprises.api.gouv.fr on 15 October 2026, records three current corporate appointments for LE PISTON FRANCAIS (SIREN 786 150 128). They match the three rows in the officer table on this page:
- FINANCIERE L.P.F (SIREN 512 366 535, RCS Toulouse): président de SAS, the company’s legal representative. This is a corporate officer, not a natural person. BODACC records it in office from 10 September 2015.
- AB CONSULTING (SIREN 442 206 371): principal statutory auditor (commissaire aux comptes titulaire).
- L A C CONSEILS (SIREN 442 336 202): alternate statutory auditor (commissaire aux comptes suppléant).
The provider rows have no appointment dates. The register’s dates for the two audit firms conflict. A BODACC notice of 18 May 2012 announces both appointments, while the notice of 26 August 2014 states that both had been in office since 11 April 2013. Both versions are given here. No natural person is currently recorded as an officer of the company itself.
Recent officer changes
- 10 September 2015: FINANCIERE L.P.F became président, replacing Thomas Corbel (BODACC notice of 20 September 2015).
- 18 August 2014: Thomas Corbel became président (BODACC notice of 26 August 2014).
- 2009: Claude Taillasson left the presidency and Didier Schreiber was appointed président (BODACC notice of 9 September 2009; no effective date given).
Data availability
Partial. The current corporate officers are published, and appointment dates can be found only in BODACC notices, some of which conflict. All current officers are legal entities, so nationality and residence do not apply. French notices do not record the nationality of the earlier presidents.

Group Structure
Group structure of LE PISTON FRANCAIS
LE PISTON FRANCAIS (SIREN 786 150 128) is an operating company within the LPF (“Groupe Le Piston Français”) aerospace machining group. It is not the group holding company. The group’s own general terms of sale list LE PISTON FRANCAIS among the selling companies of the group, together with SODAPEM, SERMP, LPF AERO, WNC, LPF AUTERIVE and Groupe LPF. Its legal representative is FINANCIERE L.P.F (SIREN 512 366 535, RCS Toulouse), a holding company under its registered object. FINANCIERE L.P.F files consolidated accounts (type K in the INPI dataset), which report group revenue of €117.5 million for 2025. That is a group figure, not this company’s revenue. The group’s website also gives group-wide figures of €120 million in revenue and more than 912 staff.
Which company holds the shares of LE PISTON FRANCAIS, directly or indirectly, and with what percentage is not published. It has a single shareholder (see the shareholders section), but no free filing names that shareholder. So the immediate and ultimate parent cannot be stated as verified.
The provider structure graphic on this page places the company under TIKEHAU CAPITAL ADVISORS and TIKEHAU CAPITAL, with dozens of unrelated companies. Those include logistics, healthcare and real-estate vehicles, and some 60 “CAP IMMO” entities. No filing reviewed shows a shareholding by a Tikehau entity in this company. A news report of 3 January 2012 (Unquote) said ACE Management, an aerospace investment manager later acquired by Tikehau, had invested €7 million in the LPF group through its Aerofund II fund. The size of the stake was not disclosed. A fund’s investment is not a subsidiary relationship, and the graphic should not be read as a verified corporate tree.

Data availability
