What Eltis does
Eltis is a privately held French electrical engineering and energy management company headquartered in Annecy (Meythet), operating since 1997 across the Rhône-Alpes region and Geneva. The company designs, installs, and maintains high-current and low-current electrical systems for industrial, tertiary, and institutional clients, with specialty coverage in high-voltage transformer work (up to 20,000V), building automation (KNX protocol, GTC/GTB), IoT-connected energy management (via the co-developed WiT platform), LiFi optical wireless connectivity, security systems (SSI, intrusion, access control), VDI networks, EV charging infrastructure, and photovoltaic solutions through subsidiary Soltelis. The company is APSAD D19-certified for infrared thermography and holds multi-vendor OEM integrator certifications across Siemens, Distech Controls, TIL Technologies, KNX, Philips, and Chubb, supporting both one-time installations and recurring maintenance contracts.
The business model is predominantly B2B field sales driven, with revenue generated from project-based electrical installation contracts and recurring maintenance and predictive services (1,000+ annual maintenance visits). Eltis reports 2024 revenue of €10 million and approximately 100 collaborators, executing across six departments with offices in Annecy, Chambéry, and Geneva. The group structure includes four subsidiaries — Soltelis (photovoltaic), Kaelis, Navitis, and J.Kappeler SA (Switzerland) — and a broad partnership ecosystem spanning fire safety, lighting, security, and automation OEMs. Customers span public sector (schools, hospitals, municipalities, cultural-heritage sites), industrial (manufacturing, transformer installations), retail (shopping centers), and tourism/hospitality segments, with projects ranging from small service calls to multi-million-euro installations (3 projects above €1M closed in 2024). Pricing is quote-based and project-specific with no public rate card.

Eltis competitors and assessment
Company assessmentOthers
- Sonepar: Global electrical equipment distributor that supplies Eltis via its distribution partnership. Adjacent ecosystem participant rather than direct competitor, but serves the same end-customer base of electrical contractors and installers.
- Schneider Electric: French electrical equipment manufacturer and building energy management software provider (EcoStruxure). Technology ecosystem participant—Eltis integrates Schneider/Honeywell-class controls in its BMS work—rather than direct competitor.
- Legrand: French electrical and digital building infrastructure manufacturer whose wiring devices and building systems overlap with Eltis's installation scope. Adjacent vendor/supplier relationship rather than direct services competition.
- Rexel: Global electrical products distributor and Eltis's other named supply partner. Distribution-side counterpart serving the same contractor and installer customer base across France.
Broad incumbents
- SPIE: Major French multi-technical services group providing electrical, mechanical, and digital services across energy, communications, and facilities. Overlaps with Eltis across electrical installations, BMS, and energy management but operates at vastly greater national and European scale.
- ENGIE Solutions: Major French energy services arm of ENGIE offering comprehensive electrical, HVAC, and energy management solutions. Comparable in BMS and energy management offerings; broader portfolio and national scale.
- Equans: Multi-technical services group combining electrical, HVAC, and facility management across France. Comparable service portfolio (electrical installation, BMS, maintenance) but operating at much larger scale post the Bouygues/ENGIE services reorganization.
- Eiffage Énergie Systèmes: Large French electrical and energy services business serving industrial, tertiary, and infrastructure markets nationwide. Overlaps with Eltis across HV installations, BMS, and energy transition projects but at much larger scale and broader geographic reach.
Direct peers
- SNEF: French multi-trade electrical contractor covering industrial, tertiary, and infrastructure clients with electrical installations, automation, and energy services. Closest direct comparable in scope and French market focus, with similar mix of project work and recurring maintenance.
- Cegelec: VINCI Energies subsidiary delivering electrical engineering, HVAC, and energy services to industrial, tertiary, and infrastructure clients. Directly comparable offering to Eltis's high-voltage and building automation work, though backed by VINCI's national footprint.
