> > genesis:
nimesis was born at the beginning of 2004 following the a2im project launched in 1999. The objective of this project was to develop the shape memory alloys (SMA) sector in France but also worldwide. From now on, nimesis, with exclusive process and solid partnerships, is a leader in its field.

> > nimesis:
The company offers contracts of services around the development,the manufacturing and the marketing of semi finished thin products and shaped components using the properties of shape memory alloys (titanium-nickel and copper base alloy like CuAlBe).
nimesis sells its products and services in various fields such as the medical, industry and micro-applications ones.

> > the product, a very powerful material for micro-applications:
The exceptional performances of shape memory alloys can finally be useful in the broad field of the microsystems but also in many other types of applications. They offer new opportunities in the design of devices such as micro-switches, micro-membranes or micro-actuators to answer thermal requests primarily. This simplicity of working allows them to have a reduced size for a rather competitive price. With the micrometric scale (size of hair), those components have an enormous potential.

> > ambitions & objectives:
nimesis offers easy to use and thin products in the shape of wire or ribbon which are able to be "made-to-order" formed or cut out. These prepared components can be used in the manufacturing of many micro-devices and in many different sectors. The two exclusive process of production developped there allow nimesis to be the world leader in the manufacture of thin shape memory alloy components with copper basis.
