About us
Founded in October 2017, iUMTEK is at the heart of today’s societal concerns: increasing recyclability rates (Li-ion batteries, etc.), promoting short supply chains, mitigating risks (e.g. SEVESO site monitoring), addressing pollution (nanoparticles, smoke control), optimizing industrial production and the extraction of critical and strategic raw materials, and advancing green chemistry and new nuclear energy.
Our commitment is to ensure quality and safety in industrial processes through real-time analysis, enabling companies to produce better, faster, cleaner, and at lower cost.
Our technology
We offer solutions based on Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS), an advanced technology used by NASA.
Thanks to this method, our instruments can identify and quantify all 118 elements of the periodic table in liquids, solids, or gases — without the need for sampling or preparation.
Our Achievements & Partnerships
iUMTEK supplies analyzers to research centers and also develops solutions for real-time monitoring of industrial processes.
We benefit from multiple technological and support partnerships.
Our partners include laboratories, industrial firms, and support organizations.
Our Origins & Expertise
Backed by over 25 years of R&D by CEA and ORANO, with investment support from CEA Investissement, iUMTEK is a Deeptech & Greentech company that launched a new generation of instruments capable of detecting elements in solid, liquid, or gaseous materials.
These instruments are based on LIBS technology, Artificial Intelligence, and specialized sensors.
This innovation enables instrumentation to move beyond its traditional market (the lab), and into real-time, in-line industrial environments — including harsh or hostile settings (Industry 4.0 and New Nuclear).
We combine technological innovation and sustainable development to transform industry and address today’s environmental and economic challenges.
Our team
The iUMTEK team is composed of highly skilled engineers led by an experienced CEO.
It is supported by a scientific committee and a strategic advisory board composed of top-tier experts who bring complementary insights to support product development, market access, and strategic decision-making.
A CEA investment director from Supernova Invest and the Program Director at CEA-DES are members of our Board of Directors.
