Temo

The company’s story began in Nantes in 2018, driven by Alexandre Seux and Justine Perussel. One year later, the famous Temo450 - also known as the electric sculling oar - was launched. The young company moved to Vannes in 2023 while expanding its product range with the Temo1000 in 2024, followed last year by the Outpod1000 and Pod1000 pods, both also available in 3000 (3 kW) versions. Luc Joessel, one of the sales managers, presented all these products to us in the showroom: “We have already sold 7,500 units worldwide!”

The site, staffed by 23 employees, also includes a large open-plan office space. Luc then guided us through a spacious communal area to the workshop where all the motors are manufactured - except for the 450. This is also where Temo products are serviced. “They come with a 3-year warranty, and all components are replaceable,” Justine explained. Outside, a test pool allows the motors to be trialed.
