What CoCEPTIO does

CoCEPTIO Srl is a privately-held Belgian engineering and maintenance firm founded in 2017 in Mons, with co-founders Damien Bachelart and Thierry Marchandisse. The company delivers multi-disciplinary engineering services for complex, highly regulated industrial facilities, operating across eight technical disciplines (HVAC, electricity, automation, BIM, process, utilities, architecture, and parachèvement/finishing) and the full asset lifecycle from feasibility through commissioning, qualification, validation (CQV), and long-term maintenance. Its core offering is organized into six service lines — Technical & Regulatory Expertise, Facility Design, Engineering & Contractors (EPCM), Project & Construction Management, Commissioning-Qualification-Validation, and Maintenance — supplemented by a BIM/Autodesk Revit practice, cleanroom design, and clean utilities (WFI, purified water, pure steam).

The technology stack centers on BIM-based project delivery, digital twins, augmented reality for maintenance support, integrated GMAO (computerized maintenance management) with 3D models, and an emerging AI capability via the Coopilot innovation program: a PoC with PEPITE demonstrated up to 25% HVAC energy reduction through sensor-driven anomaly detection on air-handling units. The firm serves pharmaceutical, biotech, cosmetics, healthcare, food, aerospace, data center, and process industry clients, with named enterprise engagements at GSK, Pfizer, Merck, Catalent (€35M scope), UCB (Genesis project, €60M scope), Zoetis (€35M scope), L'Oréal, Chanel, Lonza, and several Belgian hospitals.

Revenue is generated through project-based professional services and EPCM / Design & Build / Bouwteam contracts, with FY2025 revenue of approximately €8.2 million disclosed on the company website. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with named country-level commercial contacts in Belgium (Julien Ceuterick, Guillaume Deterville) and Switzerland (Luc Zamparo, Charlotte Iacopetta), complemented by direct engagement at industry events (BIO, Buzz4Bio, Knowledge for Growth, ESSENSCIA, Maintenance trade shows). The firm operates from three offices — Mons (headquarters), Liège, and Yverdon-les-Bains, Switzerland — serving Belgium, France, and Switzerland. Recognitions include the EcoVadis Bronze Medal (2026), Trends Gazelle 2025 (3rd, Hainaut), Marketing Award at Salon Maintenance Namur 2024, and the Prix Mercure (2022).
