All achievements

L'Oreal X Equans

Construction of a demineralized water unit and completion of the turnkey installation:

vats
pipes
instrumentation
automation
carving

Pierre Fabre X Equans

Installation of a robotic palletizing island for the Pierre Fabre site which includes the extension of pallet conveying and the addition of a destacker.

Thanks to this installation, Equans has drastically increased the site's industrial performance, but also doubled and reduced its logistics flows:

Palletizing for 6 production lines
Installation during the 2 week production shutdown
Output of 16 cartons/minute

Sanofi X Equans

Turnkey offer for the construction of a new facility and multi-technical maintenance of industrial processes and infrastructures.

Construction of a new CO2-based refrigeration production facility (less greenhouse gas emitting) and maintenance of the facilities and the guarantee of site performance.
