CIMO, serving industry

Founded in 1997, Compagnie Industrielle de Monthey SA (CIMO) has established itself as a major player in industrial services in Valais. With more than 450 employees in 80 specialised fields, the Monthey-based company offers a comprehensive range of services: energy production and distribution, waste treatment, technical maintenance, engineering, automation, health and safety, environment, laboratory and occupational medicine. Although it primarily operates at the Monthey industrial site, CIMO also extends its expertise to third-party clients, both in Switzerland and abroad.

Since its foundation, CIMO has developed unique expertise in the management of complex industrial infrastructure and services. The company uses cutting-edge technologies to meet the high demands of the chemical and industrial sector, while ensuring compliance with the most stringent environmental and safety standards.

Its strength lies in its ability to mobilise multiple and complementary skills to serve its customers. This diversity of expertise enables CIMO to operate across the entire industrial value chain, from design to maintenance, including operation and control.

Waste treatment and recovery

One of the pillars of CIMO's activity is industrial waste treatment. The company exploits the full potential of liquid waste treatment and recovery through incineration, oxidation or biodegradable treatment. This expertise is accompanied by rigorous control of the recycling of industrial flows and waste.

The wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), equipped with a sludge furnace, enables the efficient treatment of biodegradable liquid waste generated by industrial activity. This strategic activity contributes directly to the sustainability of the Monthey industrial site and responds to the current challenges of the circular economy.

A state-of-the-art laboratory

CIMO's laboratory is another major asset of the company. Equipped with the latest generation of equipment, it offers a comprehensive consulting and analysis service enabling customers to comply with the quality criteria set by the legislator: OPair (Ordinance on Air Pollution Control), OEaux (Ordinance on Water Protection), Osites, OSol, Ohyg, etc.

The services cover the entire process, from sampling to the delivery of the analysis report. CIMO also has measuring instruments for continuous analysis, ensuring a permanent overview of the environmental situation. In particular, CIMO continuously monitors the quality of the water at the chemical site, which is treated and then discharged into the Rhône, in accordance with the authorisations issued by the State of Valais.

Occupational medicine and safety

CIMO's medical service specialises in occupational medicine and offers tailor-made services to maintain the highest level of physical, social and mental well-being for employees in the workplace. This preventive approach contributes to the health and performance of client companies.

In terms of safety, CIMO stands out as the only professional fire brigade in Valais officially recognised by the ASSPP (Swiss Association of Professional Firefighters). The company offers a comprehensive range of services: tailor-made training in fire and ABC (atomic, biological and chemical) risks, fit testing, inspection and rental of protective equipment and devices.

Engineering and industrial maintenance

CIMO also supports its customers in the implementation of industrial projects through its engineering department. Professionals in electrical and mechanical engineering, CAD (computer-aided design) support, coordination and inspection work on new installations, modifications or maintenance of existing equipment.

The construction department provides services in the fields of piping, handling, scaffolding, insulation, locksmithing and boilermaking, whether for the development of new infrastructure or the extension of existing capacity.

Maintenance is also a key area of expertise, with troubleshooting and repair, adjustment, overhaul, inspection and verification of equipment, as well as modernisation and compliance of installations.

Energy production and distribution

In addition to these specialised services, CIMO also provides energy production and distribution for the Monthey industrial site. This strategic mission guarantees the continuity and reliability of the energy supply required for industrial activities. The company also offers automation services to optimise industrial processes and improve their operational efficiency.

CIMO positions itself as a local partner, prioritising quality of service and responsiveness in its interventions. With a portfolio of skills that is unique in Valais, the company is able to meet a wide range of needs, from large industrial sites to small regional businesses.
