Our Company

Our mission & vision.

Our mission : to be the tier 1 reference supplier for power electronics equipment in Europe and North America by providing cutting-edge solutions and unmatched expertise.

At Watt & Well, we are convinced that power electronics are a key factor of progress for the environment as well as the economy.

We support designers of technological systems facing the most demanding constraints and develop solutions combining the know-how of new technology with the reliability of the product in severe environments (high temperature, vibrations, EMC, cosmic radiation, pressure).

Our cross-market experience sets us as a reference in the world of power electronics and power conversion. We’re trusted by world-leading R&D centers.

 

Since its creation in 2008, my ambition for Watt & Well is to be a pioneer of innovation. Our mission is to lead in the field of power electronics technologies. Equipping the leaders in the automotive, aerospace, energy, and industrial sectors is an accomplishment that reminds us how a high-tech French SME (small/medium enterprise) can contribute to great projects.
