Keeping machines alive, keeping industries moving 

In the fast-paced world of manufacturing, every second of downtime can mean thousands, or even millions, lost in productivity. At the heart of this challenge lies one essential truth: no matter how advanced a factory becomes, it is only as strong as the availability of its critical components. This is the mission that CNC-Shopping – Industrial Automation Parts Supplier has embraced for nearly two decades: ensuring continuity, resilience, and growth for industries worldwide. 

From a French startup to a global industrial partner

Founded in 2005 by aerospace engineer Jordan Soubieux, CNC-Shopping Industrial Automation began as a small‑scale operation with a clear mission: to help manufacturers access essential CNC spare parts quickly and affordably. What started as a niche project in France has since grown into a global enterprise, serving more than 48,000 customers across over 220 countries.

Behind this growth is a clear strategy: anticipating industry needs before they become bottlenecks. With strategically located warehouses and a vast inventory of over 1.5 million products, CNC-Shopping provides manufacturers with the parts that keep their lines running, whether it’s a controller for an aging machine in Switzerland, or a critical servo drive for an aerospace plant in North America. 

Serving the most demanding industries

Few companies can claim to operate across such a wide spectrum of industries, but CNC-Shopping Industrial Automation serves clients ranging from aerospace and automotive to medical, pharmaceutical, naval engineering, and even luxury watchmaking in Switzerland. Despite their diversity, each of these sectors faces the same critical challenge: failure is not an option.

Supporting such diverse industries requires more than a large catalog, it demands technical mastery and adaptability. CNC-Shopping specializes in components compatible with leading systems like FANUC, Siemens, Heidenhain, and Yaskawa, allowing it to support both state-of-the-art smart factories and legacy equipment that still drives production worldwide. 

Resilience through the eyes of its founder

When Jordan Soubieux looks back on CNC-Shopping’s journey, what stands out is not only the company’s growth, but the countless nights when a production line somewhere in the world was saved by the right part arriving just in time. For him, resilience has never been an abstract concept, it is the difference between a factory running or standing still, between an idea moving forward or being lost to downtime. That belief has shaped the culture of CNC-Shopping since the very beginning: a partner that doesn’t just supply parts, but keeps industries alive. 

A story that found its second home across the Atlantic

Bringing this vision to life also meant getting closer to the world’s most demanding manufacturing hubs. That is why CNC-Shopping established its U.S. base in Florida nearly two decades ago, creating a foothold that allows it to serve American manufacturers with speed and reliability. This proximity has made all the difference: when a production line is at risk, customers know that the components they need are already within reach, ready to be shipped without delay.

From aerospace leaders to medical innovators, industries across the U.S. rely on CNC-Shopping Industrial Automation not only for its extensive inventory but also for the assurance that expert support is always within reach. For the founder, this strong local presence proves that a vision born in Europe can thrive on American soil. Today, the mission is clear: to strengthen that presence by expanding logistics capacity, building closer partnerships with manufacturers, and ensuring that whenever the unexpected occurs, U.S. industry has a trusted partner ready to respond.

Sustainability through continuity

Beyond speed and reliability, CNC-Shopping also plays a role in making industry more sustainable. In many cases, extending the life of existing machines is not only more efficient but also more environmentally responsible than replacing them outright. By sourcing rare and hard-to-find components, the company helps manufacturers avoid premature scrapping of equipment, reducing waste and lowering the carbon footprint of production lines.

For sectors under increasing pressure to balance performance with sustainability — including aerospace, automotive, and pharmaceuticals — CNC-Shopping Industrial Automation offers a practical path forward. For founder Jordan Soubieux, continuity has always been more than an operational advantage; it represents a way to align industrial progress with responsibility. By enabling customers to repair, optimize, and modernize their systems rather than discard them, the company demonstrates that resilience and sustainability can work hand in hand.

Conclusion: A trusted ally for global industries 

For the company, success isn’t measured only in sales figures or market presence, it is measured in uptime, resilience, and the trust of thousands of manufacturers who rely on its expertise every day. 

In a world where downtime costs millions, CNC-Shopping delivers more than spare parts. It delivers continuity. It delivers resilience. And above all, it delivers the confidence that industries can keep moving forward, no matter what challenges lie ahead. 

Because when machines keep running, innovation doesn’t pause — it accelerates. CNC-Shopping Industrial Automation is dedicated to ensuring that manufacturers worldwide have the freedom to innovate without interruption.
