OPTIM Technologies has for many years been a key player in the construction, maintenance and manufacture of petroleum and gas installations. We distinguish ourselves in particular by our ability to meet so-called “impossible” challenges. Whether the projects are on-shore or off-shore, OPTIM Technologies knows how to use its ingenuity to imagine, create and put into service remote-controlled machining machines. Our know-how has been proven not to create prototypes but to build production machines from the first commissioning.
OPTIM Technologies offers a global service ranging from design, manufacture, training and on-site support to its customers.
