sustainable industry
The life cycle of products, terminal decline of oil production and social influence lead Manufacturing industries to the use of greener materials. One solution could be the low-cost composite materials with low environmental impact and satisfactory mechanical properties. They are biosourced (we use natural fibres and corn-based plastic) and present the same resistance as aluminum. For now, the Automotive industry is interested.

energy + nuclear engineering
We have been working for over 50 years, with many applications of Mechanical Engineering, in energy, environment and sustainable development, thanks to thermohydraulics, fluid mechanics, fluid-structure interaction, thermomechanics and neutronics.
