A strong and growing regional player
Structured around seven branches located in Nantes, Paris, Saint-Nazaire, and La Roche-sur-Yon, Groupe ALTITUDE TECHNIQUE has been active for over 25 years in specialized sectors such as luxury interior design, carpentry, engineering, industry, and shipbuilding. It has progressively expanded its activities into other areas with an operational consulting and technical assistance division, as well as a recruitment division, addressing the full range of its clients’ needs.
