What Pyrescom does

PYRESCOM is a privately held French designer and manufacturer of connected IoT solutions, founded in 1984 and headquartered in Canohès (Pyrénées-Orientales). The company operates three sector divisions — PYRES City (public lighting management via the EPnrj product line), PYRES Santé (defibrillator monitoring via AIVIA and indoor air quality via Class'Air), and PYRES Entreprise (armory management via CASAR and workforce time tracking via Termod) — plus a hygiene offering (Bivid Clean & Go). Products combine proprietary hardware modules (cabinet-level and point-level lighting controllers, CO2 sensors with NDIR probes, connected defibrillator cabinets, smart access cabinets) with web-based supervision platforms and mobile applications. Manufacturing, prototyping, and design are performed in-house in France under ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications.

The company generates revenue through a mix of hardware sales, recurring SaaS subscriptions for its supervision platforms, and professional installation/deployment services under multi-year contracts. Go-to-market is primarily direct enterprise and government field sales, supplemented by channel partnerships with regional energy syndicates (notably SYDEEL66 covering 40+ communes), technology partners (CSTB, Orange for LoRa/4G, Wi6Labs), and reseller integrations (Air Republique for combined IAQ-plus-purifier solutions). Customer concentration is distributed across 8,000+ buyers in more than 50 countries, with French municipalities, municipal police forces, healthcare facilities, and schools as primary verticals; SIEML's deployment of 3,000 connected clocks represents the largest single known contract.

PYRESCOM differentiates through deep regulatory-compliance expertise (French DAE maintenance decrees, indoor air quality regulations, weapon registry laws), 40 years of operating history with an established reference position in French CO2 sensing and DAE supervision, and end-to-end vertical integration from firmware to manufactured device. Recent strategic activity has focused on expanding the EPnrj product family with granular control tiers, introducing an open API for ecosystem integration, and adding early-stage AI-driven energy optimization features. The company is led by President Alice Guichet and operates without disclosed external investors.
