E’nergys acquiert SECCA pour accélérer la transition énergétique des bâtiments #2

With the acquisition of SECCA, the E’nergys Group upgrades its skills to accelerate energy transition in buildings! 

The E’nergys Group has established itself as a leader in energy management for commercial and industrial buildings, renowned for its industry expertise and turnkey solutions. Its goal is to become the French market leader in building management by 2030. In compliance with the new French regulations, including the Tertiary Sector and BACS Decrees, buildings must meet energy performance targets, aiming for a 40% reduction in energy consumption by 2030 and 60% by 2050. In a market shaped by the challenges of energy efficiency and building decarbonization, the E’nergys Group has acquired SECCA (Société d’Électricité pour le Chauffage et le Conditionnement d’Air), thereby adding expertise in electrical and automation control to its comprehensive turnkey Building Management System (BMS) offering. SECCA now joins the E’nergys Group’s ecosystem of expertise and energy performance businesses, becoming the electrical cornerstone of its “Building Solutions” business line. 

The SECCA acquisition, a lever to strengthen our BMS offering

In October 2024, the E’nergys Group acquired 100% of SECCAs’s capital, which has been based in Ceyzériat near Bourg en Bresse since 1975. SECCA specializes in two core BMS activities: integrating controllers for managing heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, and handling all electrical connections, including the design and fabrication of electrical cabinets, from the simplest to the most complex. With five decades of expertise, 20 employees and a design workshop, SECCA now joins the French group E’nergys, SOCOMEC’s sister company, which boasts a powerful skills-based business structure – 300 employees across 9 sites and €45 million in revenue in 2023 – has strong development ambitions in its three core areas: energy efficiency, environmental transition, and decarbonization. In France’s Rhône Alpes region, and more particularly in the Ain, its preferred département, the SECCA team will maintain its historic activity as an electrical partner to heating and plumbing professionals. 

Ludovic Jacquet, a former SECCA executive who is now the E’nergys Group’s Electricity Consultant, adds: “As we approach our fiftieth anniversary, joining the E’nergys Group provides us with a solid financial foundation, enhanced commercial and technical support, and increased visibility, enabling us to sustain and expand our electrical expertise to address the energy challenges of commercial and industrial buildings.” What’s more, we share the same values with the E’nergys Group, making our integration easier: a resolute focus on energy optimization, turnkey solutions and quality services.” 

With the acquisition of SECCA, the E’nergys Group aims to gain “end-to-end” control of its BMS projects, with a view to freeing itself from subcontracting – amounting to more than 3 million euros in 2024 – to gain greater control, coordination and responsiveness. With autonomy as a top priority, the E’nergys Group plans to expand its electrical expertise across all branches nationwide. This will involve recruiting and training electricians in the coming months, with the support of Ludovic Jacquet.
