What ERIS does
ERIS (legal entity SASU Eris, SIREN 308276088) is a privately held French fire safety and electronic security systems integrator founded in 1974 by Alain Goeta and Ali Ahras and headquartered in Ivry-sur-Seine, Île-de-France. The company designs, installs, and maintains fire detection systems (SSI), smoke extraction (désenfumage) and compartmentalization solutions, security sound systems (SSS), and—through its ERISUR subsidiary—electronic security offerings including video surveillance, access control, intrusion alarms, intercom, and hypervision. ERIS serves 8,000 sites across healthcare (AP-HP, Institut Gustave Roussy, Hôpital Américain de Paris), hospitality (ACCOR), exhibition and events (VIPARIS, Paris Expo), aviation (Air France at CDG), education (École Polytechnique), and more recently data centers, supported by a workforce of approximately 300 employees (including 200 technicians).
The business model is anchored in two revenue streams: one-time installation projects and recurring multi-year preventive and corrective maintenance contracts on large installed bases (e.g., 4,000 detection points and 3,500 safety actuators per major contract), with a third professional-services stream from FIRST Académie, the company's in-house training center (founded 2008, Qualiopi-certified) that delivers CCP2/TMTSSI certification with an 86% success rate and 92% CDI placement. Distribution is exclusively direct field sales to enterprise accounts in Île-de-France, leveraging a multi-brand, multi-vendor integration stack (Genetec, Milestone, Axis, Honeywell, Siemens, Chubb, ESSER) and certifications including ISO 9001 (since 2000), ISO 14001 (since 2013), APSAD F7 and I7. In March 2025 ERIS co-founded the ESTYA groupement (650 collaborators, seven member companies), and in January 2026 the company made its first disclosed acquisition, Groupe Simie, signaling a shift toward inorganic and consortium-led expansion.
