Why did you choose VÊPRES?

Benoit MAIRE : Our company manufactures silicone parts by extrusion, stamping, or injection for industrial and medical applications. These parts must meet increasingly stringent specifications regarding manufacturing processes. We already had a cleanroom, but being 10 years old, it had become too small and obsolete to meet the new standards expected by our industrial clients, particularly in the medical sector.

Have you expanded your operations?

BM : Even better, we built a new production unit! The building spans 2,000 m² and houses two ISO 7 and ISO 8 cleanrooms spread over 600 m². This new facility boasts performance that complies with standard 13485. This is a requirement in the medical sector, where we hold strong positions. It allows us to continue developing this market and open up to new activity sectors within industry.

Does this new production facility support your development?

BM : Favorable and essential! With 70 employees and 7 million euros in revenue, we remain a family business, and we must invest to stay at the forefront of our markets in France and also internationally, where we generate 15% of our activity across Europe, the Maghreb, and South America.

How did the VÊPRES teams meet your expectations?

BM : We needed to quickly build two new cleanrooms, larger, more comfortable for our employees, and equipped with the best technologies to improve our processes. Not only did VÊPRES's design office perfectly meet the specifications, but their experience provided us with significant proactive proposals throughout the project, helping us make the best decisions at every stage.

Have you established a trusting relationship?

BM : Trust and partnership. Our companies are similar; we share the same mindset based on honesty and responsibility. Our deadlines were imperative, with considerable stakes for our production. The VÊPRES teams delivered on time with perfectly operational equipment. The technicians are highly competent and autonomous, which drives progress!

Therefore, you do not regret your choice of VÊPRES?

BM : Not for a moment! During the study to select our provider, they were already the only ones who truly answered our questions. In my opinion, VÊPRES is the best possible provider in its field, and I have already taken the liberty of recommending them. We will continue to work together for the monitoring and maintenance of our cleanrooms.
