CEREST

The CEREST company

Since 1994, ‘Centre d'Etudes et de Réalisation de l'EST’ is a mechanical engineering company for industrial customers.

Our added value is mainly in tailor-made mechanical studies, project management, assembly and commissioning of industrial equipments.

As a manufacturer of special machines, we are able to carry out your new work projects or modify your existing installations, for functional evolutions or constructive improvements.

Since 2020, we have been using Virtual Reality for your study reviews. This technology immerses you on your workstation, your machine during the design phase. The perception of volumes, proportions, human-machine interactions are immediately apprehended. Interact with your machine even before it is realized ! Everything is then possible !

We also offer you the possibility to evaluate your own CAD models in VR.

Our recent and functional premises have a 125m² design office, equipped with an up to date computing equipment and CAD licenses such as SolidWorks, Inventor, Catia and Autocad.

Our 350m² workshops are dedicated to flows and assembly / cabling / development / commissioning operations.

Our services is flexible, from a simple mechanical study to turnkey delivery, integrating the following steps on request :

  • Mechanical / pneumatic study
  • Immersive review in VR
  • Electrical study
  • Mechanical realization
  • Assembling works
  • Cabling
  • Automatism
  • On-site development at CEREST
  • Commissioning on customer site

Since the beginning, our market positioning is technically sound and reliable.

With many examples, the Projects page of this site will give you an overview of our know-how.
