NUCLEAR APPLICATIONS-1

NUCLEAR APPLICATIONS THE REFERENCE FOR THERMAL PROCESSES Since the manufacturing of its first heat treatment furnaces in 1928, ECM developed itself thanks to its strong expertise in temperatures, high pressures and vacuum for the elaboration of materials with strong added value. ECM is a supplier of thermal solutions and integrates complex processes. ECM answers to the specific needs and norms of the nuclear industry with leading edge skills and know how. INNOVATION: THE CORE OF OUR APPROACH «Up to 10% of our turnover is invested in R&D, in order to assist our partners to carry out high technical process development» The flexibility, modularity and potential scalability of its equipment are the assets of ECM Technologies. ECM also manages the integration of peripheral systems in its production lines. Project management in highly restrictive and normative environments has become one of the key assets of the ECM Group.
