Abbeal

Abbeal is a tri-geo engineering hub founded in Paris in 2015 by Sebastien Lonjon. The company operates three synchronized offices - Paris (HQ), Montreal (opened 2023), and Tokyo (opened 2021) - enabling a 24/7 Follow-the-Sun delivery model for clients worldwide. Abbeal specializes in four engineering domains: software development (Rust, TypeScript, Python, Go), Artificial Intelligence and Data (RAG, multi-agent systems, MLOps), Robotics (ROS 2, industrial automation, fleet control), and legacy systems modernization (COBOL to Java, mainframe migration). Unlike the classic IT services firm model, Abbeal refuses pure time-based billing by default and commits to measurable deliverables and Service Level Objectives (SLOs). Key differentiators: senior engineers matched per project, no CV-shuffling. Engineers who have handled P1 incidents in production on the stack we propose. Exit checklist formalized on every mission, zero hidden debt. Refusing two-thirds of deals we qualify to keep promise integrity. Abbeal also operates Mobbeal, an international mobility program that has relocated over 50 engineers to Paris, Montreal, or Tokyo since inception. Vianney Blanquart, co-founder of the Montreal hub, serves as General Manager since November 2024. For CTOs and VPs of Engineering looking for a partner that reserves the right to say no - let's talk.
