Fortiche Production opens a subsidiary in Montpellier

Information updated on 14/12/20

After Fortiche Production announced its move to the south last summer, the company has opened two subsidiaries, one in Montpellier and the other in Las Palmas - Gran Canaria.

Opening two subsidiaries has enabled Fortiche Production to meet several key issues:
  • Personal: Creating these two studios is related to the life choices of some of our top talents with whom we wanted to continue working, even far from major cities.
  • Strategic: These studios represent an opportunity for us to respond to needs that became apparent while we were producing our first large project: being able to provide Fortiche quality in high volume while controlling costs effectively without having to relocate outside France and Europe.
By creating its two subsidiaries, Fortiche Production made significant strategic choices that we feel will be good for the future of our company and the sector. The choices reflect our vision for animation. A vision that is less industrial and more artisan and human oriented.

The Fortiche Production head office oversees the activities of both subsidiaries.

About Fortiche Production

Fortiche Production is an animation studio based in Paris. Founded in 2009 by Pascal Charrue, Jérôme Combe, and Arnaud Delord, the company refined its own graphic style and a unique mix of 2D and 3D media, easily recognizable within the animation sector.

We are a team of artists, technicians, and managers impassioned by beautiful images and great stories.

About Fortiche Animation (Montpellier)

The studio opened its doors on Monday, September 14, 2020, welcoming a team of animators and a production manager working alongside our animation supervisor Alexis Wanneroy.

Now with a staff of about fifteen animators, the subsidiary expects to grow and diversify its team.

We have worked with Alexis Wanneroy for several years. His plan had been to move to Montpellier. This seemed like an ideal opportunity to begin a new chapter for Fortiche, enabling us to continue our adventure with him and create a team by his side. We had also met the Montpellier Méditerranée Métropole “Company Establishment” and “Cultural and Creative Industries” teams in Paris. They presented potential hosting options as well as the overall attractiveness of the area for our activity.

Once we had made our decision, we benefited from personalized assistance offered by Montpellier Méditerranée Métropole, which continued by helping us find the appropriate facilities on site. Not only that, but while we now wait for our team to move to its definitive location in the spring of 2021, the Company Establishment team offered us an ideal flexible landing solution at the Millénaire Office Center in Montpellier. We were therefore able to open the new studio in the fall of 2020.

About Alexis Wanneroy, our animation supervisor

Alexis graduated from Gobelins Paris in 2005, which helped open doors for him at prestigious studios in California.

A former animation supervisor at Dreamworks in Los Angeles, working for the past more than 17 years on feature animation films, Alexis has wanted to relocate to the south in order to rediscover the Californian lifestyle in France.
