Avel Robotics

Our mission: improving the manufacturing of composite parts

We design and manufacture composite parts submitted to complex loadings in harsh environments.

Our objective is to create better designed parts and to predict the behavior of composite structures in their conditions of use.

Avel produces “4D composites”: we analyze the quality performance of our parts throughout the built. This is the fourth dimension.

An agile company with strong values and great results

A small company partner of big industrial customers

Establishment of AVEL

Luc Talbourdet and Adrien Marchandise co-founded Avel Robotics with one main idea: to use cutting-edge technology from the aeronautics industry, AFP, to manufacture composite parts in the sail racing and offshore sector.

Certification ISO 9001

AVEL gets ISO 9001 certification. Quality is the foundation of our commitment
