Sygmatel

What Sygmatel does

Sygmatel is a French intermediate-sized enterprise (ETI) headquartered in La Chapelle-sur-Erdre near Nantes, founded in 2004 by Olivier de la Chevasnerie. The company delivers electrical installation, electronic security, and audiovisual services to B2B customers — including social housing providers, condominium managers, banks and insurers, property managers, healthcare facilities, industrial companies, and local authorities — across Western France, Centre, Brittany, and Île-de-France. Operationally, Sygmatel runs 15 regional agencies organized around four service divisions: Sygmatel Services (maintenance and 24/7 on-call support), Sygmatel Électricité (strong-current and weak-current work including transformer stations, lighting networks, and VDI cabling), Sygmatel Sûreté (anti-intrusion, video surveillance, access control, fire detection, and smoke extraction), and Sygmatel Audiovisuel (sound, audioconferencing, videoconferencing, and museum design).

The proprietary Mageltys platform, developed in-house and launched in January 2022, underpins field operations with web and mobile tools for intervention scheduling, technician geolocation, real-time tracking, mobile reporting, and digital signature capture; it is now sold externally via a dedicated website and reportedly manages more than 100 clients, 200 contracts, and 400+ daily interventions. Technical scope spans transformer stations, lighting networks, power distribution, TGBT installations, fiber optics, home automation, anti-intrusion systems, and multimedia cabling.

The business model is predominantly professional-services revenue from installation projects, complemented by recurring maintenance contracts (subscription/astreinte) priced on a quote basis per project. Distribution is sales-led through the 15-agency field network with no public price list disclosed. Group revenue reached €44 million on approximately 360–410 employees by late 2024. Sygmatel completed four acquisitions between January 2022 and October 2024 — RAPIDEP, EGS (Électricité Générale Service), Huard-Boche, and Lepage Électronique — and in September 2024 brought Sodero Gestion into the capital alongside Éric Martin's appointment as President, succeeding founder Olivier de la Chevasnerie.
