  As In-Kind contributor to the E-XFEL project, CEA is committed to the integration on the Saclay site of the 100 cryomodules (CM) of the superconducting linac as well as to the procurement of miscellaneous parts including 31 cold beam position monitors (BPM) of the re-entrant type. The assembly infrastructure has been renovated from the previous Saturne Synchrotron Laboratory facility: it includes a 200 m2 clean room complex with 112 m2 under ISO4, 1325 m2 of assembly platforms and 400 m2 of storage area. In parallel, CEA has conducted industrial studies and three cryomodule assembly prototyping both aiming at preparing the industrial file, the quality management system and the commissioning of the assembly plant, tooling and control equipment. In 2012, the contract of the integration has been awarded to ALSYOM. The first pre-series modules have been assembled and are being tested at DESY. This paper will present the challenges of the module integration from the preparation phase to the industrial phase.
