ISPIRA

What ISPIRA does

ISPIRA is a privately held French environmental consulting firm founded in 2017 by Jérôme Coquelet and Dr. Paolo Bruno, headquartered in Aix-en-Provence. The company specializes in air quality measurement, expert analysis, and consulting services delivered across four operational divisions: indoor air quality for offices, schools, nurseries, museums, libraries, and swimming pools (ERP & Bureaux); industrial hygiene and emissions measurement for chemical, pharmaceutical, mechanical, plasturgy, composites, and agro-food sectors (Industrie); controlled atmosphere zone qualification for hospitals, clinics, laboratories, nursing homes, and clinical environments (Hygiène & Médical); and outdoor environmental surveillance for roads, ports, airports, urban developments, and construction sites (Environnement). Services are delivered on-site by field technicians and engineers and supported by accredited laboratory analysis; the C2S subsidiary holds COFRAC accreditation (ISO 17025, LAB REF 30, Accreditation N°1-5591) for indoor air quality, providing legally defensible measurement results. Technical capabilities include atmospheric dispersion modeling (2D/3D with CEREMA methodology), olfactometry per NF EN 13725, drone-based multi-parameter air measurement co-developed with DIADES, and R&D in sensor validation against reference methods.

The group operates as a multi-entity holding comprising seven wholly-owned subsidiaries: ISPIRA France (core operating entity), MEDIECO (environmental health engineering), AIR FLUX CONCEPT (ventilation diagnostics), C2S (accredited laboratory analysis), ISPIRA BENELUX (Belgium/Luxembourg), ISPIRA ITALIE (Italy), and the recently acquired COELYS (Beauvais, December 2025 — environmental and occupational hygiene). The firm generates revenue exclusively from B2B professional services engagements priced via custom quotes tied to project scope, complexity, measurement points, and industry requirements, and serves over 500 active clients across industry, healthcare, real estate, government, and infrastructure sectors. Consolidated revenue was €7M in 2024, exceeding €10M pro forma after the COELYS integration, with headcount growing from 55+ to 80+ across seven offices in France, Belgium, and Italy.

Core offering

ISPIRA is an environmental consulting and expertise firm specializing in air quality measurement, industrial hygiene, and environmental health services for professional clients. The company provides on-site air sampling, accredited laboratory analysis, regulatory compliance documentation, and expert advisory services across four service domains: indoor air quality for commercial buildings, industrial air emissions and occupational exposure assessment, healthcare and medical hygiene (including controlled atmosphere zone qualification), and environmental surveillance for transport and urban infrastructure projects. Service delivery relies on a multidisciplinary team of chemists, microbiologists, and air engineers supported by a national network of specialized technicians and the company's own measurement equipment fleet.

Product overview

ISPIRA is a consulting and expertise firm specializing in air quality and environmental health. The company operates as a unified service organization rather than a software product platform, structured around four main service divisions: (1) ERP & Bureaux covering indoor air quality for offices, commercial spaces, nurseries, schools, museums, libraries, and swimming pools; (2) Industrie offering air quality measurement and industrial hygiene for chemical/pharmaceutical, mechanical, plasturgery/composites, agro-food sectors, and drone-based measurements; (3) Hygiène & Médical providing controlled atmosphere zone qualification for hospitals, laboratories, nursing homes, and industrial hygiene; and (4) Environnement delivering outdoor air surveillance for ports, airports, roads, urban developments, and construction sites. The Group encompasses several subsidiaries including AIR FLUX CONCEPT (ventilation expertise), MEDIECO (health engineering), C2S (COFRAC-accredited air quality analysis), ISPIRA BENELUX, and ISPIRA ITALIE, plus the recently acquired COELYS. Specialized services include odor management, groundwater/surface water quality, and R&D activities including drone-based air quality measurement technology developed in partnership with DIADES.
