Meet Matthieu, our Process & Quality Engineer
This is the third in our series of articles highlighting the great team members that we have here at Calyos. This time we have another of the original Calyos employees, Matthieu, who is now in his tenth year with Calyos.
What brought you to Calyos Matthieu?
Initially, I was hired as a CAD designer at Euro Heat Pipes and after two years there I made the switch to Calyos. Calyos was just getting started and it was the prospects that appealed the most about Calyos. My role evolved (as intended!) into manufacturing, process definition and quality control. I support Cyrille and the wider production team
What has kept you here so long?
Without a doubt the team. And the great mood amongst the team. We all value being together, supporting each other and have essentially become a good group of friends. I also enjoy the versatility of the job, in small companies everybody has to cover a lot of bases and it is the same at Calyos. Sharing the responsibility of working in a growing company together is good fun and gives us space to learn new skills.
What has been your biggest challenge?
As I said before, in a small company like Calyos there is a lot to do and learn, often from scratch. In 2021 we moved to a new location and this required lots of setup and installation, including the manufacturing lines which takes time and teamwork to complete - I enjoyed being involved in that process.
What ambitions have you got for the near future?
I am enjoying working on the conversion of Calyos' products to aluminium. It is a challenging project but that only makes me more determined to succeed.
Outside of work, what else do you enjoy?
I play a lot badminton, I do lots of gardening and I have a few big home improvement projects to finish this year!
Big thanks to Matthieu for discussing and sharing with us!

What
Calyos is one of the world's leading experts in two-phase (liquid to vapour) heat transfer technologies. Calyos has developed a number of solutions for three specific cooling applications; power electronics, processors and batteries. Calyos also develops custom solutions beyond those applications for example, engine oil heat recovery. Calyos primarily targets the E-Mobility and Computing markets, where electrification and data processing are creating ever-rising demand for new, disruptive thermal solutions.
When
Calyos was incorporated in 2014 and is a spin-off from Euro Heat Pipes (EHP) who successfully developed similar two-phase technology for the space industry. EHP was incorporated in 2001 and today holds a majority market share in the European satellite market. Airbus D&S is now the majority shareholder in EHP. Calyos has been developing the technology for ground applications. This has involved a considerable amount of research and development, including developing flat evaporators, switching the working fluid to a dielectric green refrigerant and working on real-world applications such as those mentioned above.
Where
Calyos is based in Charleroi, Belgium. Calyos operates a factory side-by-side with our engineering team at this location and currently all of Calyos' production comes from this factory. Calyos supplies its products all across the world, including Asia, North America, Europe and South America.
Who
At Calyos we are a diverse group of talented individuals galvanised by the pursuit of establishing our disruptive, sustainable technology in our target markets. Remaining curious enables continued innovation as we work together to achieve our mission.
How
Calyos is built around four core values:
1. Applied Knowledge: Our technology is worthless unless we can get in it out there in the market. We strive to apply our knowledge and experience to real world applications.
2. Better Together: We succeed together. We view everyone from our customers to our shareholders as part of our team. Without working together we are nothing.
3. Inherent Flexibility: No thermal problem is the same. Therefore we strive to build flexibility into not only our solutions but also our working practices. This allows us to evolve with the market.
4. R-R-Research: Nothing stands still. As experts in our field, we must continue to innovate. We can then return to our first point and re-apply these innovations to real world applications.
Why
Our mission is to solve the greatest thermal challenges by enabling the adoption of the best, passive two-phase cooling solutions. Ensuring and delivering a sustainable approach to thermal management in the data-driven and electrified world we are creating.
