TRIOPTICS France

What TRIOPTICS France does

TRIOPTICS France is a French distributor and integrator of photonic and optical metrology solutions, headquartered in Villeurbanne (Lyon metropolitan area) and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the JENOPTIK Group since its founding in 1996. The company addresses industrial firms and research laboratories in France with a portfolio organized across more than 10 product categories, including optical metrology equipment (centering stations, MTF benches, autocollimators, wavefront analyzers, camera module test systems, lens/IOL measuring stations), micro and nano-positioning systems (motorized stages, piezo-inertial stages, hexapods), precision optical components, optomechanics, light measurement instruments (spectrophotometers, goniophotometers, luminance cameras), 3D surface metrology, laser interferometers and vibrometers, laser Doppler velocimetry, and custom test benches. Most of the underlying hardware is sourced from international partner brands — OWIS, Attocube, Piezosystem Jena, ALIO, 4D Technology, GL OPTIC, BENTHAM, MSE, JENOPTIK, and others — with TRIOPTICS France acting as the French channel partner, integrator, and engineering provider.

The company serves 12+ vertical markets including aerospace, automotive, defense, medicine and medical devices, food industry, cosmetics, lighting and luminaires, horticulture, AR/VR optics, art and heritage science, mechanical metrology, and non-contact surface inspection. Its go-to-market is consultative, direct B2B enterprise sales: customers reach the team via phone (+33 (0)4 72 44 02 03) or contact form, specifications are reviewed, and pricing is delivered as custom quotations — no public price list exists. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware resale of partner equipment, complemented by professional services for custom test bench design, installation, and calibration. The team is small (7 employees) and managed by Jean-Marc LIOUTIER (Gérant). TRIOPTICS France is a member of Photonics France (the French photonics industry association), holds ISO 17025-calibrated products, and complies with GDPR; no patents, awards, independent funding, or AI/ML capabilities were disclosed in the source materials.
