CARNOT Cetim

At the crossroads between research and industry, the Cetim Carnot Institute, founding member of the Alliance Industrie du Futur, is the French mechanical expertise centre.

It also includes the expertise of LRCCP (Laboratoire de Recherches et de Contrôle du Caoutchouc et des Plastiques - French Rubber and Plastics Research and Testing Laboratory), which brings complementary skills necessary to the development of complex mechanical assemblies.

As a R&D tool for 7 000 mechanical businesses, it brings together 750 employees, more than 70% of whom are engineers and technicians, for a 120 M€ overall business volume.
