2019 is an eventful year for Emitech. While the group is celebrating its 30th anniversary and acquired a new subsidiary, EMC, at the beginning of the year, it inaugurated a new 6,000 m2 building, "Les Trois Peuples", in Montigny-le-Bretonneux in the Yvelines region of France, just 400 meters from the historic "Les Coudriers" headquarters. The aim is for Emitech to offer all the resources needed to provide a complete service to its customers on a single site.
Emitech's expansion project is the result of two years of work and optimization of the group's resources in the Paris region. The new "Les Trois Peuples" building brings together testing skills in the fields of equipment safety, radio frequencies, electromagnetic compatibility, climatic and mechanical environments and reliability. Its office part hosts the training organization and the engineering and project management services. "Les Coudriers" houses the aeronautical and defense resources.
"For example, to provide a comprehensive service to the automotive cluster, "Les Trois Peuples" now brings together dedicated EMC test facilities and the climatic and mechanical facilities formerly located at Versailles-Satory. The company's focus on the automotive sector, particularly for sustainable mobility solutions, is underlined by EMC's expertise in powertrains, especially for electric vehicles, and its increasing focus on 5G for autonomous driving in the RF field," says the company.
This development plan aims to reinvent the Emitech group's industrial tool to strengthen its coherence. It is already being applied at the Bourgoin-Jallieu site, where its subsidiary Environne'Tech built and inaugurated an 800 m2 extension in 2018 designed to strengthen the local offering to nuclear players with, in particular, new seismic-related solutions. It now applies to the Ile-de-France region.
The company and its seven subsidiaries in France have sixteen sites, representing 36,000 m2 of accredited laboratories and offices for EMC, radio, electrical safety, human exposure to electromagnetic fields, fire testing, climatic testing, mechanical testing, hydraulic testing, reliability testing, acoustic testing and metrology testing. The Emitech group specializes in certification (CE marking, trademarks, etc.) and qualification of equipment and sub-assemblies through its three businesses: testing, engineering and training. Emitech is a notified body n°0536, Cofrac, recognized in more than 60 countries via the OC scheme and specifically in North America (Ised - Canada and FCC accredited - USA) but also in Japan (VCCI Japan).
The group has over 550 employees. With its projected 2019 turnover of 55 M€, divided into 50 % in the automotive sector, 25 % in aeronautics and defense and 25 % in industry and the general public, it is consolidating its position of being able to conduct environmental testing in France and Europe.
