The Minillock program has allowed us to empower our current situation within the space players, we have witnessed many changes since the beginning of the project.
Regarding the state of art, we still meet the current demands of the Space players, in terms of weight, reliability, dimensions, power supply, lifetime, ease of use, ease of assembly, and shock wave generated. We have been able to attract clients and even competitors through an increased demand on our products, fostered by our latest communication campaigns, allowing our correspondents to keep track of our latest updates (products developpement status, different testing, expected flights and more), and rising by that the trust bar and the visibility towards our prevailed customers.
On a technical term, Nimesis has been able to internalise its production line by validating the machines, which will ensure a better monitoring of the production rate and the quality of our product. Each step of the production process has also been validated. We now have an operational and reliable production line for our space actuators
Being the only company able to master the single crystallisation process on CuAlNi, is helping us achieve our goals of becoming a key player in the space market.
Concerning the socio-economic impact, we have the following results:
- The internal sourcing that Nimesis has opted for, is already helping the company reduce the manufacturing costs, as well as being able to perfectly achieve the needs of the market by monitoring the quality and controlling the production rates.
- The creation of a new line of innovative products will empower the economical position of Europe internationally,through its ability to achieve miniaturised actuators.
- In terms of Sales, we have been able to attract many clients and potential ones also, through commercial and communication campaigns, we believe that the rate will increase even more once the upcoming flights will take place.
- Post programme, we intend to continue the development of our other actuators in order to increase our market share internationally.
So far, regarding our societal implications, we have been able to:
- Approximatively double our workforce number since 2020 (from 10 to 24), new recruitments will also take place by the end of the project.
- Add work advantages to the personnel including a modern workplace, the ability to create a saving plan and a profit sharing one.
- Enhance technical and commercial trainings to the personnel, in order to raise their awareness regarding the new changes that the company is undergoing.
- Empower the internal communication, through internal presentation of the latest projects and achievements, in order to build a powerful team.
