Advanced Technologies & Manufacturing Industries

Shaping the future, turning materials into value

 Let's discuss your needs

In a rapidly changing industrial landscape, the Advanced Technologies & Manufacturing sector faces a threefold challenge: maintaining competitive economic performance, accelerating the green transition, and ensuring technological sovereignty in the face of current geopolitical challenges. These cutting-edge industries share common requirements that form the core of our business: control of controlled environments, management of high-availability critical utilities, complex multi-batch integration, and optimized energy performance.

Whether designing a gigafactory with its dry and anhydrous rooms and continuous ATEX processes, a Tier III/IV data center with redundant power distribution, a microelectronics site with ISO 5 cleanrooms and ultra-pure fluids, or a GMP/GLP-regulated laboratory, our teams take a cross-functional approach.

Ekium positions itself as a strategic partner for manufacturers committed to this transformation. Thanks to our recognized expertise in multi-batch industrial engineering and our comprehensive mastery of the value chain—from conceptual design through to commissioning—we support you in the design and execution of your projects, which involve high stakes in terms of competitiveness, sovereignty, and sustainability.

Complete control of the industrial value chain

We support you at every stage of your industrial projects, from the initial planning phase through to operation, to turn your ambitions into concrete, high-performance results:

Design & Engineering:

  • Conceptual & Basic Design: feasibility studies, process definition, facility sizing

  • General Contracting for All Trades & Utilities: multi-discipline coordination (structural, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, automation)

  • Advanced Electrical Engineering: HV/LV distribution studies for complex industrial sites, power infrastructure sizing

Integrated multi-discipline approach:

  • Grey Utilities: industrial networks (compressed air, steam, chilled water, nitrogen, etc.)

  • Clean Utilities: cleanrooms, laminar flow management, contamination control, ultra-pure fluids

  • Low-voltage systems: monitoring (SCADA/DCS), instrumentation, IT/OT networks

  • Process: integration of production equipment, flow optimization

Construction & Commissioning

  • New construction: plants, onshore and offshore production units

  • Capacity expansions and facility relocations

  • Upgrades, maintenance shutdowns, modifications to existing facilities

  • Compliance with environmental and safety standards (ATEX, ICPE, ISO 50001, GMP, GLP)

Your challenges

  • Performance & Competitiveness

    Reduce time-to-market, Optimize investment (CAP EX) and operating (OPEX) costs, Guarantee plant reliability and availability

  • Ecological transition

    Decarbonize industrial processes and reduce carbon footprint, Reduce energy and water consumption, Recycle waste and by-products (circular economy), Integrate renewable energies (solar, wind, biogas)

  • Technological sovereignty

    Secure critical supplies (raw materials, equipment), Master key technologies in-house (batteries, semiconductors), Comply with European regulations (RGPD, CBAM, green taxonomy, CSRD)

  • Technical complexity

    Manage highly integrated, multi-lot projects (building, process, utilities, IT/OT), Coordinate multiple stakeholders (architects, design offices, equipment suppliers, authorities), Ensure traceability and regulatory compliance throughout the life cycle

SOITEC

Study of infrastructure extensions and supervision of the construction of new cleanrooms to support growth in SOI wafer production for the 5G and connected objects markets

VERKOR

To develop, in a Fast Track project, the cell and module products that will be at the heart of tomorrow's low-carbon batteries, and to test innovative digital manufacturing processes in real-life conditions. Mission OPC (Ordonnancement Pilotage, Coordination): monitoring the coordination, costs and deadlines for setting up the GigaFactory process

RAGNI

RAGNI designs and manufactures street lighting fixtures. A new industrial building is to be constructed to increase the company's production capacity to meet market demand. An initial study carried out by Ekium validated the feasibility of the project and the investment budget. A second mission consists of carrying out the Detailed Preliminary Design (APD), Tender Documents (DCE) and Assistance with Contracting (ACT) phases for the production and logistics facilities of an existing site.
