APCO technologies

The mission of APCO Technologies comprises 3 points.

	to satisfy not only the needs expressed by our clients, but also their unexpressed needs

	to develop within our business an environment and tools which provide for the professional development of our employees.

	to maintain a positive cash-flow in correlation with our investments needs in order to maintain our advance in the industry and to secure our financial independence

These three principles are materialized in our command of multidisciplinary engineering techniques, our human resources and our politic of rigorous management of the projects we are entrusted with.

The respect of our mission has enabled the development of APCO Technologies. Our initial staff of two employees in November 1992 has risen to 150 employees in 2004 and our annual turnover has been multiplied by 10 in the past ten years, reaching today 20 million Euros. Our geographical position in 4 different places, initially in Vevey (Switzerland), then in Kourou (French Guyana), Chalon-sur-Saône (France), and recently in Pierrelatte (France), together with the diversity of our operations, both in the space and nuclear sectors, are evidences of such development.

Keeping the position acquired by APCO Technologies in a high-tech industry and continuing the progression of our activities will only be possible in the light of the 3 principles of our mission. We will look after maintaining these principles in the future and will do our utmost to ensure the continuous improvement of our competences. We dedicate our future to the satisfaction of our clients and to the success of our business.
