Combrée, France
Combrée site strengthens its presence in the Medical Sector with HealthCare Loire Valley
The Combrée site has recently joined HealthCare Loire Valley, the association that brings together industrial players in the medical device sector in the Centre–Val de Loire region. This collaboration allows us to integrate a dynamic and recognised network at the heart of an ecosystem dedicated to medical innovation and development.
As part of this partnership, HealthCare Loire Valley visited the Cicor Combrée site, providing an opportunity to showcase our expertise, production capabilities, and technical know-how in the medical field.
Thanks to this membership, Cicor Combrée was also able to exhibit at the Made in Val de Loire trade show on 27 November 2025, a major regional event bringing together industrial companies from across the territory. Andréa Dubois and Jean-François Gardan represented the site and the Group, presenting our skills, projects, and the added value we deliver to the medical sector.
This initiative marks an important step in increasing our visibility and supporting our continued development in the medical device market.
FRAMATOME + CICOR
On 19 November, we had the pleasure of welcoming our customer FRAMATOME to our Combrée site.
Over the past few months, after successfully meeting the operational requirements (quality, safety, and lead times) defined by the FRAMATOME project, the Combrée teams have seen their efforts rewarded with the confirmation of the award of batch 3 of the SIZEWELL project.
FRAMATOME (whose client EDF had also recently audited the Combrée site) highlighted the quality, responsiveness, support from our integrated R&D, transparency, and the respect of commitments demonstrated by CICOR (OTD > 97% since September). This strong improvement observed in recent months follows the acquisition by CICOR GROUP last spring.
Cicor Combrée manufactures and supplies integrated electronic equipment for FRAMATOME’s I&C Business Unit (Instrumentation & Control), directly contributing to the operational safety of nuclear power plants.
We are proud to be part of the select group of French suppliers contributing to the renewal of the nuclear industry, within the broader EPR2 program.
Thank you to the FRAMATOME teams for their continued trust, and to the Cicor Combrée teams for their professionalism and commitment.
Career Forum
On 17 November, our R&D team took part in the Career Forum organized by Ombrée d’Anjou, alongside middle school students.
It was a great opportunity for our engineers to share their daily work, their expertise, and their passion for their profession.
Divided into small groups, the students were able to gain a concrete understanding of what R&D looks like within the Cicor Group: how our products are created, how an electronics project is organised, and the different roles involved in design, testing, and industrialisation.
Our teams also brought several products and electronic cards, allowing the students to see real examples of our achievements.
The conversations were spontaneous and enriching, enabling the young participants to compare their initial ideas with the realities of the field. A wonderful way to spark new vocations!
