What CMPhy does

CMPhy (legal name: CMPhy EURL) is a French private company headquartered in Virey-le-Grand, Burgundy, specializing in non-destructive testing (NDT) equipment and laboratory services for industrial quality control and material characterization. The company is structured as an EURL (single-member limited liability company) with €50,000 registered capital and registration in Chalon-sur-Saône (RCS 828 227 439). It serves regulated, high-specification industries including aerospace & defense (SAFRAN, ArianeGroup, MBDA, ROXEL), nuclear energy (FRAMATOME), railway (SNCF), oil & gas (SLB), automotive (Garrett), heat treatment (Bodycote), and third-party testing/inspection providers (CETIM, APAVE, MistrasGroup). Operations are concentrated at a single France-based site with no disclosed subsidiaries, parent company, or external investors.

CMPhy operates a dual business model combining equipment manufacturing with laboratory and professional services. Core products include the EMC electromagnetic measurement console, a family of eddy current probes (EC-MAG, CM-PEN, CM-ENC, CM-OPEN, CM-TUBE, CM-RND) developed with 3D printing, the PHYMAG magnetic field meter for MPI, and the GREEN PT autonomous filtration station for penetrant testing waste water. The company's lead software product is PARADES, an in-house AI-driven vision platform that performs automated defect detection and classification across multiple NDT modalities (magnetoscopy, penetrant testing, radiography, visual testing) using computer vision. The portfolio also includes 2D/3D magnetic imaging services, ISO/IEC 17025-accredited calibration of magnetic and NDT instruments, electrical and magnetic property characterization, printed ultrasonic and eddy current sensors, and Masterclass training services. Certifications span ISO 17025, NF EN ISO 3882, EN NF ISO 3452, ISO 9934, ASTM E1444, ISO 15548-1, NF EN 15317, and IEC 60404.

Commercially, CMPhy runs direct, field-based enterprise sales to industrial end-users, offering full-service support from needs analysis and method industrialization through equipment delivery, installation, training, and calibration. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Marketing is concentrated on technical publications (MDPI, IOP), COFREND conference participation, and a bilingual French/English website. Revenue streams span hardware sales (equipment, probes, consoles) and professional services (laboratory characterization, calibration, training), with the calibration laboratory providing recurring revenue. No revenue, headcount, or funding figures are publicly disclosed, and the company has not raised external capital based on available records.
