CMI exerts its expertise in numerous segments of the industry


The industrial sector is in decline in France. This global trend hides the strong attractiveness of this sector and France’s strong position in certain segments. Technological differentiation often plays a key role in this sector, as does the ability of companies to deploy their expertise at a European and global scale.

Thanks to strong ties with many engineering schools, CMI’s team is in line with these issues. In addition, we have established specific partnerships in this area – for instance with technical centres in France and abroad.

For many years, we have developed close relationships with our customers in various sectors:

  • Aeronautics
  • Process Equipment and Robotics
  • Surface treatments
  • Optoelectronics
  • Agribusiness
  • Engineering (nuclear, oil & gas, …)
  • Security Industries
  • Industrial maintenance
