SLB's facility in Béziers is shifting focus from oil and gas to marine renewable energy, backed by a €75 million investment to expand its operations. The newly implemented Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) has reduced manufacturing time from up to eight weeks to as little as 2.5 weeks, while increasing machine uptime to 90%.
This transition allows the production of components for offshore wind energy and hydrogen markets. By 2027, the Agile Factory will produce up to 60-ton components, supporting energy sovereignty initiatives. The facility's innovation and efficiency improvements position it as a competitive player in the global market, potentially mitigating risks related to energy supply dependencies.
