What ATSI does
ATSI is a French private fire protection specialist founded in 1986 and headquartered in Le Thor (Vaucluse), operating as an SAS (Société par Actions Simplifiée). The company designs, prefabricates, installs, and maintains water-based fire suppression systems, with core products including automatic sprinkler systems (IFEA/IEA), fire hose reels (RIA), dry/wet standpipe columns, water mist systems, fire detection, custom containerized pumping stations, and fire water storage tanks. Engineering is supported by proprietary SPRINKCALC hydraulic calculation software and REVIT BIM integration, while physical fabrication of piping, tanks, and containers is performed in-house at the Le Thor workshop. The company holds APSAD IF1, E1, and J5/F5 certifications from CNPP CERT since 2003 and complies with NFPA, NF EN 12845, and FM standards.
ATSI generates revenue through four streams: (1) project-based installation contracts for new construction, sized at multi-million-euro scale (e.g., an 85,839 m² logistics facility with 55,000 sprinklers and 200+ RIA units; Air France Roissy with 141 deluge stations and 4 diesel motor pump groups at 2,200 m³/h each); (2) recurring maintenance and inspection contracts, including trentenaire (30-year) audits, with multi-year Air France engagements spanning 20+ years; (3) emergency repair and compliance upgrade services (SAV/Dépannage); and (4) equipment rental of mobile water source units. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific, anchored in scope, building size, risk level, and applicable standards. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales, with no channel partners, supported by 8 French proximity agencies (Paris, Nantes, Caen, Lyon, Lille, Orléans, Toulouse, La Rochelle) and a Swiss subsidiary opening in Eclépens (Vaud) in 2026.
ATSI serves enterprise clients across multiple verticals: aerospace and aviation (Air France, Airbus, EADS Les Mureaux, Thales, ADP, Naval Group), luxury goods and cosmetics (Chanel, Guerlain), pharmaceuticals (Sanofi, Roche, Ipsen), logistics (Prologis, SOGARIS, Deret, FedEx, ITM), retail (E. Leclerc, Carrefour, Auchan, Grand Frais), agri-food (P&G, Campbell, Florette, Martell/Pernod Ricard, Bridor), and industry (Stellantis, VICAT cement). In February 2024, ATSI joined Groupe Climater, an international group with technical expertise and innovation capacity, providing group-scale backing while preserving operational identity. The company is recognized for its full lifecycle control (conception to maintenance), in-house fabrication capability, and broad regulatory compliance across French and international fire safety standards.
