Growth driven by a committed team since 2005

Founded in 2005 by Richard Chéret and Olivier Bobin, CIRAM 's mission is to make analytical sciences accessible to art professionals, archaeologists and industrialists. Driven by a commitment to openness and high standards, the laboratory has rapidly developed an international structure with :

  • The creation of CIRAM Corp in New York in 2011,
  • A strategic partnership in Hong Kong from 2012,
  • The construction of a state-of-the-art headquarters in Martillac (Bordeaux region) in 2014.
  • Expansion of the Martillac laboratory in 2025 with an additional 450m².
