1982 - The new "Anjou Recherche"

In 1982 a new research centre "Anjou Recherche" is founded, based at Maisons-Laffitte near Paris.

The 130 researchers at the research centre Anjou Recherche have the most sophisticated tools at their disposal such as modeling, digital simulation, logistics and artificial intelligence.

They lead a network of experts working in laboratories over five continents and provide innovative and rapid solutions to the ever more complex problems of treating and supplying drinking water and collecting and treating wastewater.

The researchers at Anjou Recherche work closely with experts from other R&D departments within VE on those areas which also affect other divisions such as sludge and industrial effluent.
