An eye full of a mirror!

The PACA2M platform inaugurated on February 1 this year is the largest optical treatment facility in Europe!  It is installed on CILAS’s Aubagne site (CILAS also has facilities in Orleans and Limoges and employs 195 persons for sales of 28 million Euros), and is opening up new European markets for this company.
CILAS is a subsidiary of EADS Astrium and AREVA (63% and 37% owned respectively) and makes optical and photonic equipment and systems, in some cases using lasers, and its main applications are defence, security, space and astronomy.  A “bright” step forwards described by Michel Poulat, its General Manager.
