- Divestment from trading and assembly activities
2017
From 2016 – 2017, ABMI reduces and then totally divests from its activities in trading (buying and selling material) and assembly. The reduction, then divestment from these activities made sense, and allowed the Group to refocus its resources on its true calling: engineering (industrial products, manufacturing processes, and facilities).
- Diversification
2007
AMBI expands its “trade” services in “Industrial Facilities Engineering” and so acquires ICCI. The Group’s engineering service now covers the areas of order automation and control, in particular for the energy and water treatment markets.
- Expansion
2000
Hoping to fast-track its development by gaining a foothold particularly in Aeronautics, Energy and the Environment, ABMI opens new regional branches (Toulouse, Nantes, etc.) while expanding through targeted acquisitions. SYNERTECH (2002), ESSAIR (2003) and ATECI (2006) now join the Group.

Our commitments / our values
ABMI is a team of men and women engaged with our clients’ problems, developing customized methods and prioritizing project results and management. Our drive for client satisfaction and quality always involves respecting our values and our guidelines adopted at all levels of the company.
Our Certifications
Since the beginning of the year 2000, the ABMI group has been committed to a Quality approach in order to ensure that its clients' projects are carried out in compliance with ISO 9001 certification.
This approach has enabled some of its legal entities to obtain both normative and customer certifications (ISO9001, EDF UTO, QN100, etc.). This is why, during the transformation of the ABMI Group in 2019 and 2020, this approach was deployed throughout the group and thus, since February 2022, all ABMI Group establishments are ISO 9001 certified and establishments historically anchored in the aeronautics sector are also EN 9100 certified.
The safety of all our employees is also our top priority, which is why our activities under ionising radiation as well as those on industrial sites have also been placed under CEFRI-E and MASE certification
