Henri Rémy establishes RPP to represent PAUL Maschinenfabrik GmbH & Co. in France, a world-leading manufacturer of prestressing equipment.

At the family home, Henri Rémy develops the first prestressing wire pusher. This innovation leads to the filing of the company’s first patent.

As demand for wire pushers grows, Henri and Jean-Baptiste Rémy establish 3R to design uncoiling machines for prestressing steel. From the outset, the company sets out a clear ambition: to develop its own technical solutions at its site near Montauban.

3R and RPP continue to grow and move into a 1,500 m² facility in Montauban. With a team of 11 employees, the company enters a new phase of industrial development.

3R’s development of the first automatic control unit marks a major turning point in the market. Automatic test control replaces analogue pressure gauges and opens a new era for testing machines. More than 1,000 Quantris units will go on to be sold.

The Group expands its activities by adding new solutions for reinforcing steel professionals. By becoming SCHNELL’s exclusive agent in France, 3R strengthens its presence in a complementary technical market and broadens its product offering.

3R enters a new phase of growth by applying its hydraulic expertise to mechanical testing machines.
This strategic development extends the Group’s know-how to demanding industries such as aerospace, nuclear, railway, automotive and steel production.

The facilities expand to 2,600 m² across a site of more than 5,000 m². This increased capacity strengthens production capabilities and supports the Group’s continued industrial growth.

The Group’s in-house engineering capabilities are organised within a dedicated entity officially recognised as a research organisation. This decisive step strengthens the Group’s long-term expertise in mechanical engineering, hydraulics, electronics and software development.

Ten years after producing its first mechanical testing machines, 3R reaches a new stage in its industrial development. This expansion enables the company to manufacture machines with load capacities of up to 1,500 kN and meet a broader range of market requirements.

The Group develops a range of educational equipment and expands into technical education. This new application of its expertise supports knowledge transfer and practical learning.

The creation of RSP gives a clearer structure to the Group’s reinforcing steel activities, while a broad range of machines receives Origine France Garantie certification. 3R thus becomes the first industrial company in the Midi-Pyrénées region to obtain this certification.

The integration of USR into the Group marks a significant step forward in strengthening its machining and metal fabrication capabilities. With 2,500 m² dedicated to these activities, 3R reinforces its industrial resources and its ability to respond to customer requirements.

The first version of the Synt’X testing software extends the technological capabilities of the machines. Software-based test control becomes a key driver of accuracy, continuity and ease of operation.

Quality control reaches a new milestone with the creation of a dedicated inspection room and the acquisition of a coordinate measuring machine for machined components. This commitment to accuracy is also reflected in the Group’s inspection capabilities.

The development of the MEG20, a gigacycle fatigue testing machine, once again demonstrates the Group’s ability to meet highly demanding testing requirements.

A new 2,300 m² building supports the Group’s continued growth. 3R now operates more than 4,000 m² of facilities across a site covering over 8,000 m², significantly expanding its industrial capacity.

The Group strengthens its governance with the creation of an Executive Committee. Led by Benjamin Bovo, Chief Executive Officer, and Jean-Baptiste Rémy, Chairman, a multidisciplinary leadership team now drives this new phase of the Group’s development.

The Group’s companies are brought together under a single identity. 3R Industries reinforces the coherence of the Group, highlights the complementarity of its expertise and strengthens the visibility of its long-term industrial vision.
