What STRASS Groupe does

STRASS Groupe is a Paris-based digital content engineering company founded in 1986 by cinema production professionals Anne Marleix (President) and Marc Perrin (Director). The company produces cross-media digital content for communication and training, serving primarily CAC 40 large enterprises (75% of projects) across automotive, aerospace/defense, energy, luxury/retail, banking, and healthcare sectors. Named client relationships include Renault, Volkswagen Group, Safran, Engie, Suez, Lacoste, Carrefour, BNP Paribas, and Lafarge Holcim. The firm operates with 11-50 employees from a single headquarters at 32 rue des Volontaires in Paris and reports 1,600+ completed projects and 25,000+ hours of multilingual content since inception.

The company operates four integrated product divisions: STRASS Vidéo (3D animation, motion design, interactive video, drone footage, multilingual production in 20+ languages), E-Learning & Serious Game (digital learning, 2D/3D serious games, mobile learning, video learning), Réalité Virtuelle & Augmentée (immersive VR/AR training and workplace assistance on tablets, smartphones, and HoloLens), and Web & Communication. The technical stack is anchored by a proprietary KLE (Knowledge Learning Engine) multi-format authoring tool for e-learning and serious games, the Unity engine for 3D/VR/AR development, and an in-house integrated production chain covering 3D studio, Unity development, web technology, video/audio post-production, and LMS integration. The company reinvests 14% of revenue in R&D and applies a Design Thinking methodology. Strategic milestones include first European environmental education web platform (1990), first educational video games (2000), E-learning & Serious Game division (2009), and VR/AR division (2016).

STRASS operates a project-based professional services revenue model with bespoke scoping per client engagement. There is no publicly disclosed pricing; engagements are scoped directly with enterprise stakeholders (L&D, HR, Corporate Communications, Marketing) under direct enterprise field sales. The GTM motion relies on direct relationships, an extensive project case study portfolio, and active trade association membership (Cap Digital, French Tech, FFFOD, CNC). The company is founder/management-owned with three principal associates (Marleix, Perrin, Legrain, Kopp), no external institutional investors identified, and no parent company.
