50 years of collaboration at Centr'Alp!
On Tuesday 13th November, we celebrated 50 years of the Centr'Alp site in Moirans, near Grenoble, home to our Thales teams working on the development of digital radiology and to the factory of our joint venture Trixell.
Centr'Alp is a non-profit organisation that was founder in 1968. Based on the idea that innovation is driven by cooperation and exchange, it now groups over 200 companies totalling 6000 employees. Amongst these 200 companies is the joint venture Trixell as well as our Thales factory hosting teams dedicated to the development of digital radiology detectors and software.
Trixell is the joint venture created in 1997 between Thales, Siemens Healthineers and Philips Healthcare engaged in the innovation, development and production of X-ray flat panel detectors designed for a wide range of medical applications in radiology. Based alongside our Thales factory, such collaborations highlight the idea of Centr'Alp that cooperation between companies and their workforces allows for innovation and success.
At this event, we had the opportunity to demonstrate our leadership in the radiology domain as our major product launches over the years were displayed. With a presence at Centr'Alp for over 20 years, we were also able to show the evolution of our factories and of the roles of our workers. We are equally proud to be a major regional actor for employment and innovation in the Rhône-Alpes Area.
We were thrilled to be a part of the 50th anniversary of the Centr'Alp site and to celebrate how the site in Moirans has allowed both Thales and Trixell to continuously innovate and improve the quality of their products and software over the last 20 years.
