Core offering

PMB-ALCEN (rebranded as AVELION) designs and manufactures particle accelerator systems and high-precision mechanical assemblies, including ceramic-to-metal brazed components, linear accelerators (LINACs) of 3-9 MeV, compact cyclotrons, microfluidic synthesizers, and automated radiopharmaceutical production systems. The company serves nuclear energy, defense and security, medical, research, and industrial markets with vertically integrated solutions from subassemblies to complete accelerator systems.

Product overview

AVELION (formerly PMB) is a French company specializing in advanced vacuum brazing and precision manufacturing of complex assemblies for critical environments. The product portfolio comprises three core product lines: (1) Subassemblies for Particle Acceleration — including Components for X-ray Tubes, Beamline Subassemblies, Ceramic-Metal Components, and X-ray & Electron Generators (3–9 MeV linacs); (2) Non-Destructive Testing — featuring Oriatron, Siriatron, and Modular Linac systems with integrated 2D/3D imaging for inspection of dense components; and (3) Nuclear Medicine Solutions — including iMiGiNE (automated radiopharmaceutical production system), iMiTRACE (compact cyclotron), and iMiDEV (microfluidic synthesizer) for PET imaging. The company serves Nuclear Energy, Defense & Security, Medical, R&D, and Industrial markets with a focus on particle accelerator system design and manufacturing.
