- The CTTM is a Technology Transfer office.
In order to support our customers in their production activity, we offer a set of analysis and characterization services in our laboratories equipped with qualified testing facilities.
Technological dissemination and training are implemented in order to provide our partners with a high level of skills.
All of our activities have been ISO 9001 certified for nearly 20 years and CRT qualified by the Ministry of Research.
The CTTM is therefore a private center providing R&D and Characterisation with 41 employees and a varied expertise in 4 disciplinary fields.
This development strategy is the same for our 4 technological Units. Thus, one of our major differentiating elements lies in our immediate ability to position ourselves in multidisciplinary operations.
