About us

Since 1983, we have brought our partners’ projects to life by developing exceptional production processes and high technology products. We do so efficiently thanks to our broad and complementary expertise, including physics, electronics, mechanics, computer science, mathematics, and laser processes, as well as our state of the art facilities and equipment.

Our non-profit organization, recognized as a college centre for the transfer of technology (CCTT), is affiliated with Cégep de La Pocatière. From the beautiful Kamouraska region, our multidisciplinary team carries out applied research, development, and technology transfer mandates for regional and provincial organizations, as well as partners from around the world seeking innovative solutions.

Let’s become partners, and innovate together! Let’s drive technology forward with exceptional products and processes.
