R and D, a growth engine
Hutchinson revolutionizes invention... and invents a revolution.
The Research Center is abuzz with 200 creative minds using state-of-the-art technology to respond to its clients’ challenges.
Research. A way of life. Hutchinson teams have an insatiable curiosity for new solutions, products and services. In Europe, the Americas, Asia, throughout the world, new relations are constantly being woven between the Hutchinson Research Center and university laboratories. With one single purpose in mind: crossing open questions with the investigations and beginnings of solutions provided by researchers, thus building on knowledge, Hutchinson coordinates its scientific network with Total.
Technology. Part of modern life. Hutchinson transforms knowledge into know-how. Modeling and testing applications and products, validating materials for the most varied and hostile environments, to produce reliability. The Research Center, in collaboration with Operational Activities, develops and capitalizes upon technology for today and the future.
Development. It’s all about operational efficiency. Developing high-performance top-flight products quickly. The highest quality at the lowest cost, thanks to a network of experts throughout the Hutchinson organization for supporting our teams, worldwide and at arms’ reach from our clients.
The technical centers employ over 1600 people who actively take care of client needs at the source while ensuring product development and industrialization.
Automotive, aeronautics and space, defense, railroad material, construction, consumer products, health and the petroleum industry. Each of these fields — and Hutchinson excels in all of them — are quite specific, demanding and constantly changing.
Hutchinson was first in a number of fields:
G-VIR® protective surgical gloves for reducing the risks of viral infection, LINKEO® extremely high temperature vibratory decoupling for exhaust lines, kinematic components for helicopter rotors, on-board calculators for cockpit and control of the vibration or acoustic environment, lines for transfer of low permeability fluids, POLY-V® belt transmission systems, armored vehicle mobility, sealing systems, body sealing.
High tech material for all environments. Hutchinson’s network of chemists delivers know-how to its clients gained through the constant improvement of countless products. And with the VEGAPRENE® family of products, innovation takes the fast lane with a new generation of thermoplastic elastomers. The originality of the creation process is the fruit of creative diversity that can meet any challenge.
