VÊPRES is a major player in the design and production of cleanroom in France and abroad. The logo is evolving. It retains its historic shape, a symbol of the company's origins and durability. The words "salles propres" (clean rooms) have been added, establishing VÊPRES as a key player.
A turning point in the company's history. VÊPRES evolves and so does its logo. VÊPRES CONSTRUCTIONS became VÊPRES and asserted its position as a specialist in cleanroom, as demand grew and the company's reputation grew.
To meet growing demand, VÊPRES became a turnkey contractor, delivering cleanrooms turnkey projects. By subsequently integrating a design office, the company acts as a general contractor, offering comprehensive services from the design phase through to delivery.
Driven by the dynamism of the microelectronics sector in the Grenoble area, VÊPRES is expanding in parallel to meet the growing demand for cleanroom.
VÊPRES produced its very first cleanroom in 1967. The chalet activity ceased for good in 1981.
Francis VÊPRES founds a company specializing in carpentry and chalet construction. The historic logo symbolizes the company's activity, depicting a bolt head in the center, framed by two cottage roofs.
