TIGR

What TIGR does

TIGR (Thermique Industrie Groupement Réalisation) is a French designer and manufacturer of custom prefabricated thermal and hydraulic solutions, founded in 1999 and headquartered at the 3,000 m² Parc d'Activités de la Croisière facility in Saint-Maurice-la-Souterraine. The company engineers and fabricates 100% made-in-France prefabricated boiler rooms — ground-level (CF2H fire-rated), rooftop aluminum (M0), biomass, and biogas variants capable of gas power up to 7 MW and wood power up to 1.5 MW — as well as hydraulic modules for heat pumps, distribution, and chilled-water networks (groupe froid) serving installations up to 30 MW, plus collective heating substations and solar thermal integrations. Operations are delivered through three production sites totaling approximately 5,500 m², with in-house capabilities across welding, electrical, automation, sheet metal, and 3D BIM-linked design. TIGR reports more than 1,000 completed projects and self-positions as the leader in the French prefabricated thermal solutions market.

TIGR serves industrial, commercial/tertiary, public-sector, and HVAC-contractor clients via direct B2B field sales, with dedicated account managers owning the full project lifecycle from feasibility study through commissioning. The customer base spans major French enterprise and public logos including Auchan, Carrefour, Casino, Intermarché, RATP, SNCF, Alstom, Thales, Gecina, Unibail-Rodamco, Crédit Agricole, Société Générale, Dalkia, Idex, FM Logistic, Paris Habitat, and Ville de Toulouse. Pricing is custom, project-based, and not publicly disclosed, with lead times of 4-12 weeks depending on power rating and complexity.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time sales of prefabricated modules supplemented by engineering and project-management services. The company cites a 13.4% average cost advantage versus traditional on-site construction, a 20-year structural warranty, and CF2H certified fire-rated construction as core commercial differentiators. TIGR is privately held as a SAS (Société par Actions Simplifiée) under co-directors Didier Couvidat (President) and Jimmy Brognara (Directeur Général), who took over the company in 2007. Sister/partner companies include AZWATT (boiler-room accessories, with dedicated series production at Augignac) and Tibbloc (temporary heating rentals), extending the offering beyond permanent installations.

Core offering

TIGR designs, manufactures, and installs custom prefabricated boiler rooms (ground-level, rooftop aluminum M0, biomass, and biogas) and hydraulic modules (heat pump, distribution, chiller) for industrial, commercial, and public sector buildings. The company also delivers collective heating substations and solar thermal solutions, providing fully integrated turnkey thermal installations across France.

Product overview

TIGR (Thermique Industrie Groupement Réalisation) is a designer and manufacturer of prefabricated, turnkey thermal and hydraulic solutions serving industrial, commercial, tertiary, and public sector buildings since 1999. The product portfolio centers on two main categories: Chaufferies préfabriquées (prefabricated heating plants) including ground-level, rooftop aluminum (M0), biomass, and biogas variants with power up to 7 MW for gas and 1.5 MW for wood; and Modules hydrauliques (hydraulic modules) comprising heat pump modules (PAC), distribution modules, and chiller modules (groupe froid) capable of serving up to 30 MW for chilled water distribution. The company also offers solar thermal solutions and collective heating sub-stations. All products are 100% custom-designed, manufactured in France (with 3000m² main facility in Saint-Maurice-la-Souterraine), and delivered as complete turnkey solutions including engineering design, fabrication, hydraulic/electrical assembly, testing, and on-site commissioning support. The product ecosystem includes complementary accessories through partner Azwatt and temporary rental solutions via Tibbloc.
