What Altrad Group does

Altrad Group is a privately held French industrial services group headquartered in the Montpellier region of France and founded in 1985 by Mohed Altrad, who remains President. The company is built on two operating divisions. The Industrial Services division (84% of 2024 group revenue) provides integrated SIPM capabilities — Scaffolding, Insulation, Coatings (including passive fire protection), and Mechanical works — alongside maintenance engineering, inspection (NDT, tank inspection to EEMUA 159 / API 653), access solutions, surface treatment, and specialist bolting and flange management. The Equipment & Products division manufactures and distributes scaffolding systems, building and construction products, and street furniture for local authorities.

The group serves enterprise and government clients in oil & gas (offshore/FLNG and onshore/LNG), nuclear and power generation (notably the Sellafield decommissioning framework), process industries, naval and construction, and renewable energy (wind, solar) — the latter strengthened by the Sparrows Group acquisition. Altrad operates through approximately 120 subsidiaries across more than 50 countries in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and the Pacific, employing nearly 65,000 people. Major customers include BP (Caspian maintenance via SOCAR CAPE), Sellafield Ltd (UK nuclear), and SOCAR.

Altrad makes money primarily through professional services contracts (large multi-year frameworks such as the £4.6 billion / USD 6 billion Sellafield deal and the renewed 7+3 year SOCAR CAPE / BP agreement), supplemented by hardware sales of scaffolding and construction products, and an emerging rental and as-a-service model for equipment. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company has built capital-markets credibility by obtaining its first BBB- investment grade rating from S&P Global Ratings in June 2025 and completing an inaugural €1.25 billion public bond issuance that was more than 5x oversubscribed.
