Industrial Engineering: NEO2 Strengthens Its Presence in Saint-Nazaire
Founded in 2008, NEO2 supports major industry players in the planning and execution of their projects. Based in Paris and with offices in several major French cities, the company provides its clients with engineers and technicians for project management, design, construction supervision, and more… as well as support functions such as procurement, planning, supply chain management, document management, and QHSE (Quality, Health, Safety, and Environment) management.
Working closely with businesses in Saint-Nazaire
From its Nantes office—the first to be established—NEO2 had already been working for several years with companies in the Saint-Nazaire region, such as Chantiers de l’Atlantique, Elengy, TotalEnergies, General Electric, and Cargill. Opening a local branch gradually became an obvious step. “Having an office in Saint-Nazaire allows us to strengthen these collaborations while developing new partnerships with local stakeholders,” explains Lucas Disy, the office manager and a native of Saint-Nazaire (pictured). “This proximity also makes it easier to monitor assignments carried out at our clients’ sites, where our consultants sometimes work on long-term projects.”
A Talent Pool in Saint-Nazaire
NEO2’s establishment in Saint-Nazaire also addresses a recruitment challenge. With about 40 consultants already based at the Saint-Nazaire office, the company aims to continue its growth by drawing on a labor pool rich in industrial expertise. “Saint-Nazaire is home to many professionals with industrial backgrounds. Having a local presence makes it easier to meet with candidates without requiring them to travel all the way to Nantes. In fact, we prioritize in-person meetings whenever possible.”
A New Step in Local Development
NEO2 arrived in Saint-Nazaire in late 2025 and set up shop at SPI Numérique, “an environment conducive to networking and collaboration,” notes Lucas Disy. “We appreciate the friendly atmosphere and the quality of the interactions with other companies in the area.”
“Our initial interactions with Nantes Saint-Nazaire Développement also allowed us to strengthen our ties with the local business ecosystem through networking events and targeted introductions.“
Ultimately, NEO2 plans to strengthen its presence in Saint-Nazaire and gradually expand its business with new clients.
