“We share with Saint-Gobain Sekurit’s teams the same taste for innovation and the desire to explore future solutions to push the limits of technology.”
For his part, Saint-Gobain Sekurit VP Sales, Marketing & Projects, Tim Jurkowski, added: “Saint-Gobain Sekurit is delighted to support Hopium, a French start-up committed to green mobility. Saint-Gobain is pursuing its objective of reducing the group’s environmental impact, which is also reflected in solutions adapted to a more sustainable mobility.”
The process, already underway between the two entities, should lead to the presentation in 2022, of the first pre-industrialisation vehicles of the Hopium Māchina.
