The beginnings
Founded in 1975 by Armel and Eric FEREY, SIMOP began by developing equipment for water purification. In the early years, the company expanded its production and the quality of its know-how by acquiring companies specializing in the manufacture of plastic parts: MOULAC in Bordeaux for rotational molding, and BLAISE in Montdidier for composite materials.
40 years of research and development
The experience acquired in water purification has enabled SIMOP to diversify by constantly proposing new products for rainwater treatment, wastewater treatment and for the evacuation of treated water. The intensity of its research and development activities enables SIMOP’s teams to constantly evolve its products and offer ever more reliable and sustainable solutions, with a view to protecting the environment.
