Find out about the key dates from the company's beginnings to the present day.

1998

Création d’Artal Technologies, spin-off de Matra Espace, par deux ingénieurs, Pierre Duverneuil et Raphaël Giraud. La société se positionne dès le début sur le développement de composants logiciels destinés aux systèmes temps réels spatiaux et aéronautiques. Développement commercial majeur avec la fidélisation de clients importants (Airbus, Thales Alenia Space, DGAC, DGA, etc). Les certifications nécessaires à la crédibilité sont obtenues comme les normes ISO et la confidentialité Défense.

2003

Création de Magellium avec pour objectif initial de répondre aux besoins du CNES, de l'IGN et de SpotImage (Astrium GeoServices, aujourd'hui ADS). L'entreprise a fait l'acquisition en 2009 de la branche défense de la Générale d'Infographie et les actifs de GeoTexel. Elle est également implqiuée dans le développement de solutions basées vision pour des applications en robotique.

2015-2016

Mise en place d'une société Holding FGD (Finances Gestion & Développement) devenue nécessaire à la structuration et croissance externe. Intégration de Magellium à Artal Technologies et l'ensemble devient Magellium Artal Group. La société devient un fournisseur crédible pour des clients du spatial, de la défense, de l’énergie et du secteur public. Fort de 200 collaborateurs, le nouveau Groupe nourrit des ambitions européennes.

2017-2024

After a structuring phase and a move to a new 3500 m2 building in Toulouse, the Group acquired a reputation in Europe and even beyond, in the space and defense sectors. In 2020, a minority fund acquired a stake in the Group to help with external growth operations. In 2024, the Group's Paris site moves to larger premises in La Garenne-Colombes.

Today

The Group is planning an ambitious and reasonable development, respecting delivery quality, profitability and ethical and sustainable development commitments. After some successes, the Group's commercial ambitions are focused on Europe, the Middle East, Africa and the USA.
