Ademat

What Ademat does

Ademat, founded in 1983 in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, is the leading local integrator of power-security solutions, distributing, installing, and maintaining diesel generators (Kohler SDMO, 44–1125 kVA), UPS systems (Riello UPS and APC, 10–6400 kVA), voltage regulators (IREM), compressed air systems (Atlas Copco and CompAir), and industrial drives (Leroy Somer). Originally an IT-repair shop, the company pivoted around 2015 into a full-stack energy-security provider and reorganized in 2017 around three integrated poles — sales, installation, and maintenance — supported by an in-house bureau d'études for custom engineering and a 30,000-SKU spare-parts inventory. Operations are anchored by 100+ qualified technicians organized into five specialized intervention teams (four in Abidjan, one in San Pedro, one mobile), a 24/7 service hotline, and proprietary GMAO software with a Synchroteam-backed customer portal that enables remote equipment monitoring and predictive maintenance.

The business model combines one-time equipment sales with recurring maintenance contracts, on-demand generator rental, and emergency repair services sold primarily through direct enterprise field sales. Pricing is quote-based; the company targets a sub-2-hour quote turnaround and a 2-hour intervention SLA in Abidjan. Customers span industrial, telecom, retail, healthcare, banking, construction, hospitality, petroleum, and mining verticals, with named reference accounts including BCEAO, Grands Moulins d'Abidjan, Adam Afrique, CFAO Lift, PFO Group/ITC, PFO Africa, and the Cité Administrative. Ownership history reflects two consecutive private-equity majority transactions: SPE Capital (April 2021) and Amethis (March 2026), the latter explicitly backing regional expansion across West and Central Africa, accelerated solar PV capability, and bolt-on M&A. Ademat is ISO 9001:2015 certified since 2000 and reported that revenue doubled within four years following its 2020 relocation to new headquarters.

Direct peers

• Aggreko: Global provider of temporary and mobile power solutions, including generator rental (44 kVA to multi-MW), with a significant presence across Africa. Highly comparable to ADEMAT in the rental segment and in serving customers with unreliable grid power.
• Vertiv: Critical digital infrastructure provider specializing in UPS, power distribution, thermal management, and remote monitoring services for data centers and industrial customers. Closely overlaps with ADEMAT's Riello/APC UPS portfolio and predictive maintenance service offering.
• Kohler Power Systems: OEM of industrial generators (the parent of SDMO) and power systems that ADEMAT distributes. Directly comparable product portfolio in gensets, and Kohler/SDMO's own distribution network competes with ADEMAT in adjacent markets.
• EnerSys: Global leader in stored energy solutions — industrial batteries, UPS battery systems, and related services. Closely comparable to ADEMAT's UPS battery maintenance service line and to the broader power-security recurring service model.

Broad incumbents

• Cummins: Global manufacturer of diesel and gas generators, power systems, and components with significant Africa distribution. Competes with ADEMAT's Kohler-led genset offering and has its own service network across West Africa.
