ICE Automation SA
In 2006, after several years at SYSMELEC, Max Odiet embarked on an entrepreneurial adventure, founding the engineering company ICE Engineering SA. Over the years, his passion for watch engineering has driven him to transform his company. From a service provider, it is now positioned as an automation specialist.
From 2018, the company will be working with the watchmaking industry. 2020 marks a turning point in the history of ICE Engineering. Following a challenge from a major watch brand, the X product range is developed. ICE Engineering is now recognized as a leading company in its field at national level.
