What PERRIN ELECTRIC does

PERRIN ELECTRIC is an independent French electrical engineering and installation contractor founded in 1956 in Annecy, Haute-Savoie, operating as a SARL with approximately 90 employees and €14M in annual revenue. The company delivers integrated solutions across low- and high-voltage electrical installation, industrial automation (Schneider M580 and Premium/PL7 PLCs, variable speed drives, instrumentation), SCADA/HMI supervision (PcVue with 25 years of integration experience, Wonderware InTouch, Topkapi), preventive and corrective maintenance with 24/7 emergency response, photovoltaic installation, EV charging infrastructure (IRVE), and energy management systems (GTB/GTC). It operates two in-house engineering bureaus and an electrical/hydraulic prefabrication unit producing pre-wired 'pieuvres' distributed nationally.

The company serves industrial manufacturers (Framatome, Stäubli, Delpharm, LALLIARD, Bourgeaux & Fils), real estate developers (Crédit Agricole Immobilier, VP Immobilier, Odalys Vacances), local governments (Département de Haute-Savoie, Mairie d'Annecy), water and waste utilities (SUEZ, SILA, Bonnard et Gardel), and a long tail of residential PV and EV charging customers, primarily across Savoie, Haute-Savoie, Isère, Rhône, and Ain, following clients throughout France. Notable enterprise projects include a 4x2000KVA + 1x630KVA transformer installation at the Annecy drinking water plant, ANAMMOX wastewater automation at SILOÉ, and modernization of SUEZ's Passy incinerator.

Revenue is generated through project-based electrical installation contracts, industrial automation and SCADA integration, prefabricated assembly wholesale, hardware-led EV charging installations, and recurring maintenance contracts. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales via dedicated chargés d'affaires handling competitive tenders, complemented by direct-to-consumer channels for residential PV/EV. The company is the only Schneider PLC Modernization certified integrator in its territory under a 20+ year Alliance, holds Qualifelec, CNPP Q19, MASE, RGE QualiPV and IRVE certifications, and operates through its main entity plus the Seme Electric subsidiary.
