Management Team

Raphaël Gorgé, CEO

Engineer, Raphaël Gorgé joined the group in 2004, having spent 10 years working in the fields of finance and technology. He initiated and implemented the group’s withdrawal from the automotive industry (which accounted for 70% of its turnover in 2004) and directed its development towards new areas of activity, in particular safety for Professionals et Buildings. Raphaël Gorgé became the group’s CEO in 2011.

The merger of Finuchem and Balisco in 2009 marked the start of a new chapter in group’s history, and on June 30 2009 it became Groupe Gorgé.

This new chapter opened the company up to an exciting challenge: to expand the group’s 3 main areas of expertise, each with its own specific and attractive advantages. The division of Smart Safety Systems, with an active research and development policy, has a sound basis for continued dynamic growth. The work of the Nuclear Safety and Security division, already active across all French nuclear facilities, including the first EPR, and within China for the past ten years, presents encouraging prospects for the resurgence of the worldwide nuclear industry.

Strong in its ability to manage a variety of industrial projects (from turnkey projects to the most specific projects in the fields of interest in which we operate) the Industrial Project Services team can now be employed in a range of sectors.

Established in numerous dynamic sectors such as Defence and the Aviation and Nuclear industries, we embrace challenge, confident in our values and our enterprise culture. Our values are based on pragmatism, a strong service ethic, flexibility and autonomy, helping us assiduously lay solid foundations for a sustainable future.

Despite the delicate market situation for many of our activities our fundamental business culture and values carry us forward and make us proud of what we build together.

established in Flamanville, France.
