ESUS Solutions

What ESUS Solutions does

ESUS Solutions is a French independent industrial services firm headquartered in Couëron, Loire-Atlantique, providing non-destructive testing (NDT), technical assistance, QA/QC inspection, and welding training to industrial operators. The company serves large French and European enterprise clients across energy (EDF, TotalEnergies, Elengy, Primagaz, Arabelle Solutions), transportation (Airbus, Alstom, Chantiers de l'Atlantique), water and environment (Veolia), infrastructure (Eiffage), and industrial services (Spie, Air Liquide, Altrad ENDEL, Byès). With 7 employees and three senior leaders (Laurent Torillec, President; Meriem Aïd, CEO; Thierry Gaugain, Associate GM), ESUS positions itself as a focused expert firm rather than a scaled inspection platform.

The core technical offering is non-destructive testing covering surface methods (dye penetrant testing, magnetic particle inspection), volumetric methods (conventional ultrasonic, phased array UT/PAUT, TOFD, radiography), and advanced techniques including 3D scanning, robot-based corrosion mapping, drone inspection, endoscopy, ACFM, and LIBS chemical analysis. ESUS holds ISO 9712 certification for NDT personnel, operates under EN ISO 3834, EN 1090, and EN ISO 15085 frameworks for welding coordination, and maintains MASE safety certification. The Welding Development Center (Centre de Développement du Soudage), a Qualiopi-certified sub-brand, provides professional welding training, and the company delivers asset integrity management covering inspection plans, monitoring programs, and maintenance strategy across CAPEX and OPEX equipment lifecycles.

Commercially, ESUS operates a B2B professional services model with direct expert consultation, project-based pricing, and on-site delivery at client facilities. Revenue is generated through five service lines — technical assistance, NDT services, QA/QC inspection, training, and welding coordination — all classified as professional services. The company has no publicly disclosed revenue, no parent company or external investment, and an independently operated private ownership structure. Geographic reach spans France and international markets.
