ETME

What ETME does

ETME is a French B2B distributor of industrial and residential door and gate automation electronics, founded in 1993 and headquartered in Champigny-sur-Marne, France. The company operates as a subsidiary of Groupe ACCÉDIA, a diversified automation group founded in 2010 by Dominique Pinault. ETME aggregates more than 40 manufacturer brands — including CARDIN, BFT, SEA, SOMMER, INTRATONE, SEWOSY, OPTEX, BEA, GEWISS, HAGER, LOCINOX, Schneider Electric, FRABA, GELBAU, and GRASSLIN — into a single procurement platform serving professional installers of automated sectional doors, rolling shutters, rapid doors, sliding gates, swing gates, tilting doors, rising bollards, and automatic barriers, alongside access control (VIGIK, electromagnetic locks, intercoms) and EV charging stations. The product catalog exceeds 2,000 stocked SKUs plus 3,000+ online references, supported by 24-48 hour shipping for in-stock items.

Beyond pure distribution, ETME manufactures its own proprietary PIC series of control electronics (PIC 1410, PIC 4416, PIC 4416V variable frequency, PIC 5800N, PIC 2800N, PIC 4220E, etc.) for three-phase and single-phase motor command, which serve as the embedded intelligence across its installed base. The business model is B2B direct-to-installer, gated behind professional account registration with order-by-reference functionality, dedicated technical hotline support, and on-site training at the Champigny-sur-Marne agency. Revenue mechanics are one-time product sales with pricing not publicly disclosed. ETME's commercial motion combines a French-language e-commerce storefront, trade show participation (e.g., ARTIBAT 2025), and a relationship-led installer channel rather than consumer or large-enterprise sales. The company holds 11-50 employees and serves a domestic French market, with geographic reach inferred as primarily Île-de-France and broader France.
