The workshop
A real workshop in Charente, a small team, and a wish to make custom PCs accessible to everyone, not just experts.
img/atelier-facade.jpgOur story
Forge16 started from a simple observation. At Dibitek, we repair, set up and secure computers every week for households, businesses and local councils in Charente and Dordogne. Many customers bought their PC online, then came to us because nobody could help them after delivery.
Damien founded Dibitek in Saint-Séverin on 1 October 2022, after some fifteen years in IT infrastructure and cybersecurity. Léo joined as a technician, and the workshop began building custom PCs for our customers: gamers, families, businesses.
With Forge16, we offer this service across France without losing what makes us different: a technician who advises, builds, tests, and still picks up the phone afterwards.
