Turning Vision into Reality with Cutting-Edge R&D
The Institut de Recherche en Ingénierie des Surfaces (IREIS)—our surface engineering research institute based in France—tackles real-world challenges head-on: from industry decarbonization to CO₂ emissions mobility, boosting energy efficiency, and development of advanced manufacturing.
IREIS operates advanced R&D platforms, including ICE-T for engine tribology, with facilities in Saint-Étienne and Andrézieux-Bouthéon providing the depth of infrastructure to convert laboratory findings into industrial-grade solutions.
Lab Innovations into Industrial Solutions
Advanced research platforms bridge the gap between scientific discovery and production-ready coating processes — ensuring every innovation Calico delivers is validated at scale before it reaches your parts.
