About Tallano Technologies
OUR HISTORY
Founded in 2012, Tallano Technologies has developed a particle suction system called “TAMIC®” which is attached directly to the brakes of road or rail vehicles.
The reduction performance achieved by Tallano Technologies is unequalled and has already enabled it to develop various partnerships with several railway operators, including the SNCF, car manufacturers and equipment manufacturers in Europe and Asia.
Since March 2023, Tallano Technologies is a member of CLEPA.

THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Jean-Louis Juchault
C.E.O.
I joined Tallano Technologies and its founder Christophe Rocca Serra in 2016 as Managing Director and – in June 2023 – took over as Chairman when Christophe stepped down. He has played a key role in our company since its inception. His commitment and visionary leadership have enabled Tallano Technologies to become a cleantech pioneer in the field of clean braking. I am determined to capitalize on this strong heritage and propel our company to new horizons.
What’s more, my passion for cars has always made me sensitive to the solutions offered by Tallano Technolgies. When I took part in motor racing events, I always made sure to offset my carbon emissions by supporting associations such as Yann Arthus-Bertrand’s, dedicated to reforestation. Joining Tallano Technologies was a natural extension of this personal approach, since TAMIC® captures fine particle emissions from vehicle braking systems at source. This convergence between my personal values and Tallano Technologies’ innovations is always an additional source of motivation for me.
Finally, throughout my career, I have always been driven by a passion for innovation. Whether in the financial field during my previous professional activities, or today in the technological field with Tallano Technologies, I am motivated by the constant search for new ideas and innovative solutions.
As President of Tallano Technologies, I am determined to lead our company to new heights, focusing on continuous innovation and offering solutions to reduce fine particles from the braking system to our industrial partners.
A lawyer by training, I created and managed several financial asset management companies between 1990 and 2016. During my career, I focused on creating financial solutions that did not exist before.
The TAMIC® solution is of course a technological innovation but it is above all an innovation of thought. Until then, everyone agreed that the pollution linked to the use of braking systems was a necessary evil… Tallano Technologies has come to challenge this preconceived idea, because we are not only talking about an improvement of the existing systems but also about the cancellation, at the source, of more than 90% of the fine particles emitted during vehicle braking.
Jean-Yves Jouas
Operations Director
I joined Tallano Technologies at the beginning of 2023. I was in charge of business development in Asia.
In short, I have held roles in R&D, Purchasing, and Business Development in the industry, notably within the Renault-Nissan Alliance. I then pursued a consulting career with McKinsey & Company.
Muriel Draillard Babalao
C.B.O.
The common thread of my choices has always been innovation. Both passionate and with a temperament to shake up the lines, it is quite naturally that I was seduced by Tallano Technologies, a pioneer Clean Tech which has set itself the mission of solving a real public health problem. The commitment and the passion which animate its leaders, as well as their great professionalism, finished to convince me. Since April 2023, my role has been to build strategic partnerships with key players in the sector and to develop the TAMIC® solution commercially at the international level.
I have a degree in international management, with a double specialization in finance and logistics. I worked in several large petrochemical multinationals and then specialized in the automotive industry. For more than 20 years, I brought my skills to major equipment manufacturers such as Asahi Glass, Faurecia or LPA Automotive. After starting in the implementation of information systems, I developed a business expertise, contributed to the deployment of international strategies, and to the implementation of partnerships aiming at strengthening the positions of these large groups. I have held, among others, the positions of Sales and Marketing Director for Mechanisms and Key Account Director for OEMs such as Stellantis. My arrival at Tallano Technologies is also a way to reconnect with the dynamics and audacity of my first professional experience in a multimedia start-up in San Francisco.
TAMIC® tackles the heart of the problem and was created to meet a real need: to effectively reduce the pollution linked to braking. Economically accessible, the Tallano Technologies solution has been designed to be easily and intuitively integrated on any type of vehicle. After several years of laboratory and real-life tests, TAMIC® is ready to meet its market.
Loïc Adamczcak
C.T.O.
I met the founders of Tallano Technologies when I was working for Plastic Omnium. I then discovered the TAMIC® solution, which interested me a lot for its technological complexity, its positive impact on public health and for its environmental dimension. So I joined the team in 2017 as technical director to work on improving the system’s performance.
A textile engineer graduated from ENSAIT, with a PhD in materials science and engineering from the Ecole des Mines de Paris, I was for more than 17 years the R&D director of the Friction Material activity at Valeo, the leading French automotive supplier. I then directed innovation at Porcher Industries, then at Plastic Omnium, where I developed new products and new processes.
During braking, two main categories of fine particles are emitted: airborne particles, which remain suspended in the air and which we breathe, and larger, heavier particles, which are deposited in the vehicle and on the road. The latter seem less dangerous since we do not breathe them, but they end up in runoff water and then in plants, etc. Moreover, they can be fragmented and become finer and lighter and still end up in the air and therefore in our lungs. Contrary to other solutions, TAMIC® attacks all particles and this is why it is innovative! Especially since it has now been proven both in the laboratory and in real-life conditions.
