What Ingeliance does

Ingeliance (legal entity INGELIANCE & CO, also operating as Groupe Ingeliance) is a France-based industrial engineering services group headquartered in Mérignac (Bordeaux metropolitan area), operational since approximately 1998 with a workforce of 501-1,000 employees distributed across regional offices in Cherbourg, Le Havre, Savigny-le-Temple, Angoulême, Toulon, Saint-Nazaire, Grenoble, and additional French cities. The company delivers engineering services spanning the full product lifecycle—from R&D and conception through industrialization to maintenance (SLI/MCO/MRO)—across six primary verticals: aeronautics and space, defense, naval, energy (including nuclear and marine renewables), transport and goods equipment, and process industry. The portfolio is organized into a Technologies pole and a Solutions pole, refined under the 2024 'Optimus' project into three divisions: Développement Systèmes, Solutions Industrielles, and Analyse Scientifique. Notable customers include Naval Group, Futuroscope, Schneider, and major aerospace and defense programs; the BFM Business interview signals involvement in major French industrial programs alongside ongoing recruitment.

The group's technical capability stack combines mechanical design, numerical simulation (3DX, Aveva, SM3D, Rhino, CADDS, Inventor, AutoCAD, Ansys, Nastran, Abaqus), industrialization, tooling, and maintenance workflows. The PSI subsidiary (Panda Services Industries), acquired in September 2019, adds automation, industrial computing, electrical, and instrumentation capabilities supporting the petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and special machines sectors. The Arvis collaborative robot, demonstrated at the NAIA-R forum and World Nuclear Exhibition 2025, and the STREAME registered trademark represent tangible proprietary technology assets. Quality and compliance credentials include the ISO 19443 nuclear certification (obtained January 2025) and EcoVadis Gold medal (73/100 in 2024, top 5%).

Ingeliance operates a B2B professional services model with project-based pricing under multi-year contracts; revenue mechanics flow from engineering studies, turnkey industrial realizations, and technology expertise fees charged to enterprise clients in defense-linked sectors. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales through regional offices, recurring presence at major industry events (Euronaval, Paris Air Show/Bourget, Seanergy, World Nuclear Exhibition), and an employee referral and word-of-mouth layer. The company is controlled by private equity investors ACTIVA Capital and ARKEA Capital following a 2020 transaction, with Marc POULLIN as Président Directeur Général and Jean-François CLÉDEL (founder) as Président du Conseil de Surveillance. The CAP 2024 strategic plan targeted approximately €100 million in revenue and a CAP 2027 plan is referenced, though specific group revenue is not publicly disclosed.
