Specializing in the design and manufacture of automated welding machines, Technax will have in spring 2026 a production site adapted to its needs and ambitions.
Installed at Saint-Priest since 2013, the company chaired by Laurent Vernède has just launched the construction of a new real estate complexwhere it will bring together its workshops and its head office. To carry out this operation, Technax will invest 7 million euros.
The new building will take place on a plot of 8,500 m2bought a few years ago by Nexity, which then took possession of vast land previously occupied by a Berliet group test site. “We are going to build a 3,400 m building2, explains the manager. The workshops will occupy 2,400 m2 on one level and we will have 1,000 m2 of offices in R+2.”

Technax, which employs around fifty people and carries out 11 million euros of turnover, is counting on this real estate operation to support its recent developments and anticipate the future.
“We currently have 1,400 m2 and we are cramped, because we are producing increasingly complex and increasingly imposing machines.”continues Laurent Vernède.
