R.Projects carried through from start to finish
They didn't exist anywhere. Now they're on the road.
Adaptations, custom parts, remade parts: each case study describes a real request, the initial problem, the approach and the finished part. Clients are not named.

Experience
Before Volk Engineering: the design office, then project management.
Five years of experience before Volk Engineering: first in design offices, in aerospace and on the ITER project, then as a project engineer in heavy fabrication and special machines for the nuclear sector. This is the foundation Volk Engineering now puts at the service of your projects.
