What mc3i does

mc3i is a French manufacturer of fire safety and special risk solutions, founded in 2001 and headquartered in Carcassonne, France. Operating as a privately held S.A.S. with €700,000 in capital, the company designs, manufactures, and installs custom fire safety equipment for industrial clients, Établissements Recevant du Public (ERP), and certified installation partners. Its product portfolio spans three solution lines: (1) surpression solutions including the Plug & Protect ready-to-use units and the MCBOOST series of booster systems integrated into fire protection cells (Shelter S, M, BATTRI); (2) detection solutions including fire safety systems (SSI), intrusion alarms, electronic access control, video surveillance, and ambient/security sound systems, supported by low-voltage electrical (Courant Fort/Faible) installation services; and (3) prevention solutions centered on D.A.I.S.I, an AI-powered autonomous detection system that uses computer vision to monitor PPE compliance and dangerous situations on industrial sites.

The company combines artisanal French manufacturing with technical engineering expertise, holding APSAD R5 certification for RIA installations and conforming to NF S 62-201 and NF/EN standards. D.A.I.S.I represents a strategic move into intelligent safety monitoring, using computer vision, natural language processing, and centralized trend analysis to reduce intervention time by a factor of ten, with optional autonomous photovoltaic power for remote sites.

mc3i generates revenue through hardware sales of customized fire safety equipment and professional services including installation, maintenance, and engineering (bureau d'études). The company operates a hybrid go-to-market combining direct enterprise field sales to industrial clients with channel partnerships through certified installers (Eurofeu, Chronofeu) who handle on-site deployment. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company is family-owned with Samuel MATHIEU serving as Directeur Général, and operates exclusively in the French market with 11-50 employees.
