Akris Group > Our markets > Energy & Strategic Infrastructure
The Energy and Strategic Infrastructure market encompasses all industrial applications related to the production, transport, and storage of energy. It includes sectors with major sovereignty stakes, such as civil nuclear power, as well as energy transition technologies including hydrogen, solar, and wind power. These fields are defined by harsh operating environments and an absolute requirement for safety and service continuity.
AKRIS Group supports players in this market by providing high-precision industrial solutions capable of meeting strict regulatory standards. In these sectors where component integrity is vital, our expertise guarantees reliable parts designed to withstand extreme pressures, corrosive environments, and extended lifecycles.
In the nuclear sector, safety relies on total control of the manufacturing chain. AKRIS Group addresses this imperative with a “Zero Variability” approach: each part produced must be an exact clone of the qualified model. This absolute repeatability is essential to guarantee the predictable behavior of systems in critical environments.
This requirement is accompanied by full traceability of materials and processes. Thanks to our synchronized ERP systems, we ensure seamless tracking of every component, thus meeting the highest quality standards imposed by nuclear prime contractors.
Alongside conventional energy sources, AKRIS Group is leveraging its expertise for the technologies of tomorrow. We are involved in the hydrogen sector in particular for the production of complex components such as bipolar plates for fuel cells, requiring extreme geometric precision.
Our solutions also extend to solar and wind power, where system performance depends on the quality of mechanical components subjected to repeated climatic and mechanical stresses. Our ability to work with innovative and resistant materials makes it possible to maximize the yield and durability of these infrastructures.
To meet the specific requirements of the energy sector, AKRIS Group deploys its advanced machining technologies: CNC, high-speed machining and multi-axis machining. These processes, coupled with in-depth expertise in hard materials and specific alloys, make it possible to produce parts with micrometer tolerances.
The group’s entities, such as SUMCA and S3M, provide industrial flexibility allowing for the management of both research and development projects ( prototyping ) and the production of series components for major energy programs.
The reliability of energy infrastructure often depends on the surface quality of the components. Our finishing and polishing operations (“High Polish”) help to limit the risks of corrosion and premature wear in fluid circuits or storage systems.
The AKRIS Group metrology department ensures systematic verification of geometric compliance. The use of advanced control protocols guarantees that each delivered part strictly respects the technical specifications and the normative certifications of the sector.
AKRIS Group offers a comprehensive approach to securing energy projects and strategic infrastructure. From co-design to final delivery, we integrate safety constraints from the earliest phases of the project through our Vision 360 methodology.
By prioritizing controlled European production and a robust industrial organization , AKRIS Group asserts itself as a trusted partner to support the sovereignty and transformation of the global energy landscape.
