What Gerard Perrier Industrie does

Gerard Perrier Industrie (GPI) is a France-based industrial holding company founded in 1967 and headquartered in Lyon, publicly listed on Euronext Paris under ticker PERR. The group operates through 13+ wholly-owned subsidiaries — including ARDATEM, SOTEB, SERA, SEIREL, GERAL, AQLE, BONTRONIC, N-CyP, OFATEC, PETER POHL, TECHNISONIC, AECE, and additional entities such as AECE GROUP, AEVA, AQUITAINE ELECTRONIQUE, EFGPI, OPSIS, and R3EA — that collectively deliver design, installation, and maintenance services for industrial electrical, electronic, automation, and instrumentation systems. GPI's primary customer segments are the French nuclear energy sector (with named accounts Orano and EDF-implied) and general manufacturing/process industry, supplemented by naval/maritime work. The group employs 1,001-5,000 people, with more than 300 engineers and technicians operating out of design offices on made-to-measure automation projects across regional offices in Lyon, Saint Priest, Genas, Mulhouse, Chalon-sur-Saône, Grenoble, Annecy, and Bourg-en-Bresse, with near-border Swiss operations and international nuclear project work (UK HPC Bristol, Bridgewater).

GPI generates revenue through three streams: engineering and installation services (design, production, and installation of electrical and electronic equipment, automation, and instrumentation); maintenance services (preventive and corrective contracts on installed systems); and multi-domain services combining electrical, mechanical, and instrumentation expertise on complex projects. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales executed through each subsidiary's dedicated account teams, with project-specific quote-based pricing and no public rate cards — a structure typical of B2B industrial engineering services. Customer relationships are anchored in long-term maintenance contracts on nuclear and process-industry sites.

The technology base centers on custom industrial automation, nuclear-qualified electrical systems, industrial IT and instrumentation, and — through the DATIVE innovation subsidiary — Industrial IoT integration, cloud and web development, and industrial cybersecurity. A separate GPI Experts division provides specialist services in maintenance engineering, fire detection, energy management, HV/LV maintenance, machine safety, and 3D engineering. The company's registered share capital is €1,986,574; revenue is not disclosed on the company website, and the provided financial block contains corrupted figures that cannot be used.
