Located in Paris, MATERIC offers its expertise in developing tailor-made tertiary workspaces while creating particularly sought-after acoustic solutions.
The company
Originally founded in 1957 in Cher, France, MATERIC (Materials for Rational Equipment for Industry and Commerce) already offered its services for space optimization. In the 1990s, the company specialized in acoustic treatment for call centers for specialized companies and, from the 2000s, open spaces in other sectors, such as insurance. Upon establishing itself in Paris, the company developed its expertise in office design and acoustic treatment of workstations. For the past 30 years, the business has evolved, treating the workspace more broadly by providing ergonomic and acoustic design solutions to create customized environments.
Know-how
MATERIC has evolved over time by adapting to new standards and trends in professional spaces. The company provides relevant answers by proposing ergonomic, modular and personalized solutions. Its expertise lies in the following areas: consulting, implementation studies, design and manufacturing, and installation. MATERIC optimizes existing spaces or creates “turnkey” layouts.
The in-house design office, made up of interior designers and layout technicians, helps companies choose the best solution, thanks to attentive listening and suggestions for simulation of implementation to enhance their space. Each project is the subject of study and individualized monitoring: evaluation, plan, 3D simulation, detailed estimate. Several factors are taken into account: the ergonomics of the workstation, readability of spaces, optimization of acoustics and lighting, professional standards, aesthetics of the proposed lines and colorimetry.
For the fabrication, the company uses the best French and European specialist subcontractors in the fields of wood, metal, upholstery, electricity, and so on.
The company has a logistics platform where furniture is stored and prepared by qualified technicians offering quality assurance.
The transport and installation of furniture are entrusted to professionals and the sites are monitored by site managers to oversee on-site implementation.
In terms of new skills, MATERIC also offers general contracting (TCE) finishing services, according to the needs of its customers.
