New support for Hydroptere: The partners family is expanding

CLIP INDUSTRIE, a dynamic middle size company specialized in the edition of software CAMC (Computer Assisted Manufacturing Control) joined the sports and technological adventure of Hydroptere as an "official partner" for a period of three years. This is a new support and a strong impulse for the flying trimaran whose sailing calendar will accelerate soon.

"Our customers are mainly industrial contractors in all the sectors of the metalworking industry, and especially those in the following fields of activities: aerospace, nuclear, railway, watchmaking, medicine and watersports ... They are all passionate about innovation and high technology. We have been following the epic of Hydroptere for years and when we learned that to realize this new challenge, additional supports were required, we decided to join the project! At our level, we hope that this support will contribute to the dynamics and encourage the team for the record attempt, "explains Arnaud Martin, CEO of the company.

"This new support is excellent news and I thank CLIP INDUSTRIE for their boldness and vitality. The fact that a middle size company invests in the sector of adventure and passion for technology with a project so unconventional, I think it's a strong signal in difficult times. brings the strength of an international group and to see the program joined by a smaller structure is a mixture of styles that I enjoy tremendously. The epic of Hydroptere was born from a mixture of cultures, skills and generations. I am delighted that this logic is also adopted by our partners, "says Alain Thebault.

"We are delighted to welcome a new partner within the team Hydroptere.  The fact that CLIP INDUSTRIE is a SME is particularly symbolic to us because works with several thousand SMEs in its industrial programs. We welcome with great pleasure the new supporters who are ready to blow in the sails of Hydroptere to make her fly even faster, "said Christophe Lachnitt, communications director of the group."

Arrived in Los Angeles at the end of June, Hydroptere was unloaded from the cargo ship and is now being reassembled. A short period at the shipyard is scheduled before the launch and the standby period before the record attempt. As soon as the weather conditions are favourable, the flying fish will take off to Honolulu to try to break the Pacific crossing record.
