SNIE

What SNIE does

SNIE is a French private electrical installation contractor founded in 1965 and headquartered in Île-de-France, operating through four work agencies with 502 employees as of 2023 and €66 million in revenue. The company provides turnkey electrical installation services for new construction projects, serving property developers, construction companies, and building owners across two markets: new residential construction (collective and individual housing) and new tertiary construction (offices, hotels, student residences, senior living facilities, parking structures). Its technical scope spans both strong current (energy distribution) and weak current (voice-data-image) systems, delivered under a single-contractor model that consolidates accountability across the full project cycle from engineering design through installation to commissioning.

The company's underlying technology and operating model center on in-house engineering capability (Bureau d'Études), in-house prefabrication of electrical pieuvres (pre-assembled cable bundles) and electrical panels for quality control, and dedicated field crews specialized in both current types. SNIE generates revenue through project-based professional services contracts with enterprise clients, with an annual production capacity of 9,500+ housing units and 220+ active construction sites at any given time. The go-to-market motion is direct B2B, executed through field operations across Île-de-France, with corporate visibility maintained via a LinkedIn presence.

SNIE has extended its offering into emerging technology categories — photovoltaic installation, IRVE electric vehicle charging infrastructure (Bornes IRVE), and connected housing/domotics — as adjacencies to its core electrical installation scope. These additions align with French energy-transition and EV adoption tailwinds but remain specialized service lines rather than primary revenue drivers. Operations remain concentrated in Île-de-France, and the company has no disclosed external investors, parent entity, subsidiaries, or public listing.
