Our assemblies
SOTEREM designs and manufactures complex instrumented assemblies by the use of high value-added processes:
- welding of highly integrated assemblies
- soldering of watertight passages
- instrumentation forming (thermocouples, heating elements, collectors,…).
SOTEREM started in 1975 with the integration of irradiation devices for the CEA and produces that kind of devices ever since.
