What Fichet Group does

Fichet Group is a private French physical-security and cash-management provider headquartered in Vélizy-Villacoublay, operating through the legal entity Fichet Security Solutions France (SAS) with stated capital of €39,022,112. The group has regional operating presence in France, Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands, with a 24/7 customer service center and certified installer network, serving vertical markets including banking, retail, public buildings, industry/high-risk sites, public transport, and VIP/residential customers.

The product portfolio combines certified physical security equipment (security doors, safes, vaults, storage cabinets, high-security locks, entrance control turnstiles/speed gates) with electronic security platforms (the ANSSI-certified SMI Server for integrated access control, intrusion detection, and CCTV supervision; SecurWave for multi-site alarm centralization; Visios@ve for CCTV). Cash-management solutions span retail (SafePay front-office, SafeCash back-office, CashControl multi-site monitoring) and banking (ADX deposit, CLX locker, SafeCoin dispensers). Underlying proprietary technology includes the patented MxB mechanical lock with tridimensional key geometry and an electronic lock family (Nectra, GSL 1000, KelNet) certified to A2P, VdS, and ECB-S standards at the highest European levels.

Revenue is generated through direct enterprise field sales combined with a certified installer channel for installation and after-sales service, a quote-based pricing model (no publicly disclosed pricing), and recurring service contracts. Products are manufactured in France under ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. The group operates multi-brand subsidiaries (Fichet Bauche, Hygiaphone, Eurosecur) and resells Gunnebo entrance-control products, while cross-selling turnstile-integrated pandemic screening (H-Sense) as a recent product line extension.
