A BOLD CHOICE FOR REAL RESULTS

A LOGIC OF USE ABOVE ALL

Faced with today's industrial challenges - pressure on costs, agility, environmental requirements - the reflex to buy new is no longer an optimal solution. At Axitest, we've made a bold choice: to revolutionise access to test and measurement equipment by making premium refurbished equipment the new standard of excellence.

Our reconditioned equipment is not simply an alternative, it represents a new, more intelligent paradigm, combining availability, the long-term future of industrial systems in operation, guaranteed performance and responsible circularity. It's this vision that drives us every day to transform the market, equipment by equipment.

"AXITEST RECONDITIONED. NOT AN ALTERNATIVE. A TECHNICAL ANSWER.”

OUR VISION

We refuse to believe that new is an immutable reflex. For us, reconditioning is a concrete response to the challenges on the ground.

OUR AMBITION

Making refurbished equipment the new standard for access to test and measurement equipment.

OUR MISSION

Giving our customers the means to act better and faster, without over-investing, thanks to a circular and reliable alternative: reconditioning.

A STORY MADE TO LAST

Axitest was founded in 1998 by a former electronics engineer from Thomson, where he worked on on-board radars for the Mirage 2000.

At the time, he saw pallets of technical equipment being thrown away. The initial idea was simple: to put back into circulation what still deserved to be put back into circulation. That's how refurbishing became our anchor. Right from the start, we worked with top-of-the-range brands. Then, in response to requests from the field, the business expanded: rental was structured in 2010, metrology was integrated in 2021 and equipment take-back has become a more recent priority.

In 2021, the company was taken over by Adrien Duquesne - part of the team since 2007 - and Yannick Elmoudden, his childhood friend. The founder was retiring, the business was slowing down and a new direction was needed. Adrien knew the nuts and bolts of the business, while Yannick wanted to be an entrepreneur. Together, they rebuilt a team, rethought the offering and set a clear ambition: to become a benchmark player in technical refurbishment, and impose a different approach to equipment.

Axitest now owns its own premises in Saint-Maur-des-Fossés. The team now numbers 17, up from 6 in 2020. Sales have risen from €1.7 million to €3.6 million in three years. What sets us apart is our in-house remanufacturing, a higher-quality range, comprehensive technical services, and a clear desire to move the boundaries. On the strength of these solid foundations, we have no intention of stopping there. Our ambition is to push excellence and innovation in technical refurbishing even further.

Taking concrete action for a more sustainable industry

Our CSR commitment certified by Ecovadis

At Axitest, responsibility isn't something you declare, it's something you measure. Our Ecovadis assessment reflects this requirement, the fruit of a continuous improvement programme supported by concrete actions on our purchasing, waste and internal practices. 

This year, we were awarded the “Rapid Improvement” badge, proof of our real and lasting commitment. But this is only a first step. Each new audit becomes a lever to go further towards responsible and measurable performance.

Taking concrete action to make a real impact

Because sustainability isn't just about tools, Axitest is also active in the social and environmental fields.

In partnership with Atelier Sans Frontières, we promote re-use and professional integration.

Thanks to Tree-Nation, every expedition contributes to a measurable reforestation programme.

These initiatives are an extension of our CSR approach and embody our vision of a responsible and inclusive industry.

Behind these commitments is a team of people who are passionate about responsible, intelligent and modern testing and measurement.
