The National Institute of Industrial Property, which lists patents and innovative methods, has recognized, in the Industry category, a Carquefou company that faces competition thanks to its strategy of permanent innovation and the protection of its technological advances.
Founded in 1993, Europe Technologies has 420 employees spread over fourteen sites, including that of Carquefou, in the Loire-Atlantique.
The National Institute of Industrial Property has just awarded him the INPI2022 award, Industry category.
Innovate and protect its innovations. This company policy has made it possible to respond to a wide variety of customers such as aeronautics, naval, automotive, food and health.
Its core business: the design, production and installation of innovative industrial processes in the field of surface treatment, welding and machining.
The answer is yes, according to Europe Technologies, which aims to develop the 4.0 factory with automated machines, more sober in terms of energy consumption and designed with recycled materials.
The group sells products in 50 countries worldwide and has offices in China and one in the United States, XXL competitors it can face thanks to the margins generated on innovative and well-protected legally protected products and services.
Among the major achievements we mention the Washington Bridge in New York: without stopping traffic for a moment, eleven thousand areas of welding under the bridge were treated.
Nothing definitively stops this company since it is also found in the entertainment sector with the machinery of the ”Cinéscénie” of Puy du Fou, from design to installation to production. A successful challenge that allows the lifting of a 5-ton platform over 5 meters in 48 seconds every evening.
Patrick Cheppe, the PDG d’Europe technologiesexplains his vision: “Innovating allows us to have a more concrete approach, closer to the markets to position our technologies. Industrial property is not just a patent filing, it is a strategy, an overview, which helps us to orientate ourselves on the innovations to be protected”.
With seventy patents and nine registered or pending trademarks, Europe Technologies generates 30% of its turnover (67 million euros) from exports.
