néos is a 100% French company based in Beaune, Burgundy.
Beaune: Our offices
Crissey: Our industrial workshop
As an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction company, we conceive, realize, put into operation, and maintain efficient, turnkey facilities on behalf of our clients.
“Our profession consists in creating a whole that cannot be reduced to the sum of its parts…!”
The magic of our profession is that it is not enough to simply line up pieces of equipment to create a sorting line. We must put them in order and ensure they work together efficiently to fully satisfy our clients.
For each of our projects, we look for the best combination of environmental efficiency, cost efficiency, and uncompromising operator safety.
The environmental challenges confronting our civilization are now widely acknowledged.
Challenges are inherent to human progress, yet the environmental challenge that we now face is global in scale, affecting consumer society worldwide.
Let’s be honest, néos will not save the planet, but neither will inaction. That’s why at néos, we only work with people with a passion for nature.
At néos, we strongly believe that we are capable of making a difference, and bringing about change.
At néos, we think that a civilization capable of recycling what it consumes, however imperfect, cannot be entirely in the wrong. Our mission is simply to mitigate man’s impact on nature as much as possible. It may seem counterintuitive that our work should be characterized by competitiveness and efficiency, but so much the better! Indeed, with every goal that we surpass, and every waste treatment cost that we reduce, the planet benefits. If our aim is to create the best tools, we must look for the perfect combination of environmental efficiency, total cost, and safety. Our mission is only accomplished when these 3 parameters reach perfect synergy. Fortunately, given the creative spirit of our R&D team, each project is different and there are always aspects of this balance that can be improved.
A business exists thanks to the coherent efforts of the individuals of which it is composed. The identity of néos cannot be separated from that of its team, whose coherence is determined by our shared values.

In-house expertise
At neos, we have chosen tointernalize all the strategic skills needed to design and build sorting centers.
Based at our Beaune facility, our integrated design offices bring together these key areas of expertise:
This cross-functional organization enables direct coordination and rapid decision-making, while simultaneously integrating process, building, planning and operating constraints. It reduces interfaces, minimizes hazards and makes projects more secure, especially in existing environments or under tight deadlines.
From tender to commissioning, each project benefits from a comprehensive approach and continuous integrated feedback, guaranteeing technical consistency, performance and lasting reliability.
This dynamic also relies on all our support services, administrative functions, purchasing, project management and management, which contribute to the steering, structuring and solidity of our organization.
