The Jean Thollin R&D Center

Project-management experience shows that the speed and concentration of our resources, both in terms of place and time, represent key factors in the success of a technology project.

For this reason, Electricfil has created the Jean Thollin R&D Center , gathering together the necessary development skills and resources of the company under a single roof, including laboratory equipment, experts, project managers and technology leaders as well as representatives of support services participating in the development process. These resources are steadily opening to the subsidiaries, putting them in a position to seize on local opportunities.

This flexible organization lets teams focus together on their projects, on the same platform, sharing all the necessary technical and human resources for the duration of the work. Under the supervision of project leaders, project teams work in complete synergy with market managers and technology leaders to select the technologies best adapted to the functions and needs specific to each customer, share experience and conduct laboratory tests

To make full use of this novel structure, the development process has been redesigned, favoring the proximity of teams and direct communication in order to shorten lead times, optimize the use of resources and strengthen product innovation and development dynamics through cross-fertilization.

The R&D Center is not only a means to improve products, but also a technological showcase. In a single place and under optimum conditions, the center shows customers the many types of know-how mastered by Electricfil Automotive.
