Industrial automation and process engineering for food manufacturing
Ovalt is a French industrial services group formed in 2017 from four automation and engineering subsidiaries (CIP Automation, ID Automation, OET Automation, PGC Pesage et métrologie). The tech stack—MES, SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Schneider Electric, Siemens—reflects a traditional manufacturing engineering profile. Current hiring is heavily engineering-focused (31 of 36 roles), concentrated at mid and manager levels, and notably includes leadership gaps (documented retirement of current director), suggesting a transition period requiring technical depth to execute ongoing automation and agro-food sector projects.

Ovalt operates as a holding company of four specialized automation and industrial engineering firms serving mid-market manufacturers in the agro-food and process industries. The group provides end-to-end services spanning automation design, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, industrial metrology, and manufacturing execution systems (MES). Current project portfolio centers on automating production lines, optimizing existing installations, and designing complex piping systems for food processing. The company operates 501–1,000 employees across France and is managing simultaneous demands: R&D-eligible innovation programs, regulatory compliance in food sectors, and capital projects including new construction and facility extensions.
Ovalt uses MES systems, SolidWorks and AutoCAD for design, Office suite (Word, Excel, Outlook), and industrial automation platforms from Schneider Electric and Siemens for controls and systems integration.
Current projects include automating cereal and agro-food production lines, optimizing and extending existing installations, designing 3D industrial piping systems, and executing R&D programs eligible for tax innovation credits (CIR).
