In a context marked by a shortage of critical skills, accelerating innovation cycles and growing expectations around quality and standardisation of projects on a global scale, industrial players must be able to rapidly access immediately operational teams capable of intervening at scale. It is to address these challenges that SEGULA Technologies, a global engineering leader, is launching nine Centres of Excellence at the heart of its most strategic areas of expertise, across its main sectors of activity: automotive, aerospace, rail, energy and naval.

A full commitment to results

The Centres of Excellence bring together teams among the most recognised in their fields, positioned on strategic areas of expertise. Located at the heart of the major industrial hubs of their respective sectors, they are able to deploy their expertise on a global scale and intervene on the most demanding projects.

From the definition of technical solutions through to final delivery, they cover the entire project cycle, combining technical mastery, field experience and commitment to results. They also enable expertise capitalisation, best practices dissemination, new experts training and knowledge sharing acceleration across countries and projects. 

The 9 Centres of Excellence cover strong and recognised areas of expertise, some unique in their markets:

• Aerospace:
  – Vitrolles (France) : Helicopter maintenance
• Automotive:
  – Rüsselsheim (Germany): Calibration and tuning of thermal and hybrid engines
  – Trnava (Slovakia): High-volume process engineering
• Rail:
  – Zaragoza (Spain): Rolling stock design
  – Derby (United Kingdom): Testing and commissioning of rolling stock
• Naval:
  – Lorient (France): Naval architecture and industrialisation
• Energy:
  – Montoir-de-Bretagne (France): Engineering and construction management of industrial infrastructures
• All sectors:
  – Caen (France): Design and industrialisation of plastic parts
  – Toulouse (France): Advanced industrialisation
  

This first step opens a dynamic that will continue in the coming months, with new Centres of Excellence already in preparation.
