The story of idréva & workwith.Industrial SMEStart-up spiritNormandyMaking sure they get home at the end of the day.
A Normandy-based industrial SME that makes composite access equipment. And one that built its own platform so you no longer have to wait for your prices.
Rives-en-SeineA workshop could have closed. A team decided it wouldn’t disappear.
02 — The turning point
Growth came back. And with it, a very real problem: prices that were slow to come, and follow-ups asking “where’s my quote?”
Our customers were waiting for their prices.
Our teams were already at full capacity.
We could have taken on more people.
We built the tool.
It’s not an e-commerce site.
It’s the front door to the idréva ecosystem.

07 — Why we do all this
“Behind every piece of equipment, there’s a person who climbs on it. Our job is making sure they come back down, and that they get home at the end of the day. Everything else follows from that: the service life, the composite, the factory.”

A Normandy-based industrial SME that designs and makes GRP composite access equipment: ladders, safety cages, hatches, guard-rail systems and walkways. 1 April 2015 marks the start of a new adventure: a team kept the know-how, the machines and the customers.
In our workshop in Rives-en-Seine, Normandy. Design, production and shipping are done in the same place, by the same teams.
Because our customers were waiting for their prices and our teams were already at full capacity. Rather than taking on more people, we built the tool: the first pricing platform for composite access equipment.
