Impec Group

What Impec Group does

Impec Group, LLC is a Silicon Valley-headquartered workplace solutions provider founded in 1991 by Raffy Espiritu. The company delivers integrated end-to-end services spanning facilities management, program and project management, talent acquisition and staffing, strategy and technology advisory, specialty maintenance, and lab support services. Its customer base spans life sciences, education, public sector, transportation, healthcare, semiconductor, manufacturing, and retail verticals, with named engagements including California state agencies, California Automobile Association, TIBCO, Cadence, Mills College, Sequoia Hospital Foundation, AvalonBay Communities, and an 11-year relationship with FMSA.

The service portfolio has been expanded through three acquisitions: Facilities First (2016), Reloconnect (2018), and GNU Group (2021), the latter adding branding, wayfinding, and signage capabilities. Impec operates the ImpecPlus platform, which combines a CRE and Workplace Technology Ecosystem with more than 23 evaluated products covering space management, IoT sensors, utilization analytics, occupancy, and reservation systems. A strategic partnership with Fidelitus Corp (March 2023) extends international delivery capacity for global relocation and facilities engagements.

The business model is services-led: revenue is generated through managed services contracts, professional services engagements, and project-based work, with technology deployed as an embedded differentiator rather than a standalone product. Impec is privately held with no public funding history; it operates from offices in Santa Clara and Pleasant Hill, California, and Bengaluru, India, with reported headcount of 251–500 employees.
