Born in 1962 in Cholet, Maine et Loire, after finishing his studies in electrical engineering, he started to work in the field of industrial and shipbuilding maintenance (fishing boats). In 2002, the takeover of the Garreau workshop in Bouin, specialized in aluminum construction, allows him to move towards the shipbuilding industry, with the hiring of qualified fitters and welders. In 2005, the creation of an internal research department allows to respond to requests for over than 12 meters boats. In 2007, a building of 1000m ², located in the harbor, is built for the construction of larger boats (up to 25m). In 2009, concluding a partnership with Jean-Francois, the site can therefore diversify its constructions, with a goal of 5 to 6 boats per year.
