About Us
Founded in 2000, Polyson is an independent post-production company that has been supporting the creation of film and audiovisual works for over 25 years.
In 2000, Nicolas Naegelen and Jean-Claude Laureux founded Poly Son Post Production alongside four sound engineers, with the ambition of creating a structure dedicated to the production of film and audiovisual works.
Originally focused on audio production, the company has gradually expanded its scope to encompass the entire spectrum of video and audio post-production.
Over the years, Polyson has established itself as a hub where talent, expertise, and technical infrastructure come together to serve filmmakers, producers, and creators.
Today, Polyson supports productions at every stage of post-production, from the processing and management of on-set footage to color grading, editing, mixing, and the creation of deliverables for various distribution formats.
The work and quality of the services provided by Polyson’s teams have been recognized multiple times by the Académie des Arts et Techniques du Cinéma.
The company notably received the César & Techniques Trophy in 2015 and 2019, as well as a double distinction in 2024 with both the César Technique Award and the Innovation Award, recognizing its contribution to cinematic creation.
Polyson also develops activities dedicated to sound creation.
The company notably operates a music recording and mixing studio in Montreuil, dedicated to music projects and original scores, as well as Cosmotone, a studio specialized in sound creation for immersive experiences and virtual reality.
Staying true to this culture of creation and innovation, the company also conducts research and development through its HAL department, which designs innovative tools for image processing (HAL Picture) and sound (HAL Audio).
The technologies developed within HAL have also been recognized by the Académie des Arts et Techniques du Cinéma. The Boom-It plug-in, developed by HAL Audio, received the César & Techniques Innovation Award in 2024, while the Diachromie / Diaphanie suite, designed by HAL Picture, was awarded the César & Techniques Innovation Award in 2026.
Through its different areas of activity, Polyson pursues a shared ambition: to bring together expertise, talent, and high-end technical infrastructures in the service of creation and the works that shape culture.
In 2023, Polyson was selected as one of the winners of the France 2030 – La Grande Fabrique de l’Image call for projects, a program led by the French State and the CNC aimed at strengthening the production capacities of the French film and audiovisual industries.
This selection recognizes companies contributing to the development of the infrastructure and technologies required for the production of works, and supports the ambition of positioning France as a leading hub for production, post-production, and audiovisual innovation.
