ARMITEC opens the doors to its workshop dedicated to the nuclear sector
Following a visit to the Chinon nuclear power plant, members of the NEOPOLIA network continued their exploration of the nuclear sector by visiting the ARMITEC workshops in Beaumont-en-Véron (37 - FRANCE) on November 4, 2026.
An event focused on industrial expertise and opportunities within the sector.
This immersive visit gave industry representatives the opportunity to discover ARMITEC’s production capabilities and technical expertise, which support the nuclear sector.
Since 2019, ARMITEC has been active at nuclear sites, leveraging its specialized skills in machining, boilermaking, and industrial maintenance. Located near the Chinon nuclear power plant, the company’s Beaumont-en-Véron facility, inaugurated in March 2024, serves as a vital operational resource for meeting the needs of stakeholders in the nuclear industry.
ARMITEC’s teams, fully trained and certified to meet the specific requirements of this environment, carry out tasks such as manufacturing components based on technical drawings, producing welded metal frames, and performing assembly, machining, and maintenance work on machine tools.
ARMITEC’s expertise in machining test specimens
The workshop is equipped with material-cutting machinery, machining centers, electrical discharge machining (EDM) units, and a metrology lab. These high-precision tools are used to manufacture specialized test specimens, which allow for the mechanical and metallographic characterization of material samples of various dimensions for the nuclear sector.
Challenges and Opportunities in the Nuclear Sector
The visit continued with an opportunity to exchange with PEREN (Promotion of Employment and Resources for Nuclear Industry Contractors), an association that supports companies in the nuclear industry in developing skills, providing training, recruitment and risk prevention. As a local partner to the nuclear power plants in the Loire Valley, PEREN helps strengthen the professionalism of subcontracting companies and facilitates their integration into the nuclear industry.
Sharing and collaboration
ARMITEC extends its sincere thanks to NEOPOLIA, PEREN and all the participants for their interest, their time, and the highly productive discussions that took place. A great opportunity to share expertise, strengthen ties between industrial players, and contribute collectively to the development of the nuclear sector and to French industrial sovereignty.
