What Groupe SFPI does

Groupe SFPI (formerly Securidev, ticker ALSFPI) is a French industrial holding company founded in 1985 by Henri Morel and publicly listed since June 2015. The group operates two divisions: a Building Sector covering security, closures and openings (DOM Security mechanical and electronic locks and access control, France Fermetures garage doors and shutters, Franciaflex windows/blinds, Faber blinds/awnings, Sipa Menuiseries windows, Picard Serrures high-security locks, plus DENY Security, Omnitech Security, DOM-Metalux, DOM Industry, DOM-Titan and DOM-Ronis), and an Industrial Branch specialising in thermal and aeraulic processes through the NEU cluster (Delta Neu air processing, NEU Process pneumatic conveying, NEU FEVI industrial fans, NEU Automation IT/automation services, Neu International Railways maintenance depot equipment, ITN Formation training) plus Barriquand heat exchangers and Steriflow industrial sterilisation autoclaves. The group holds 69.3% of DOM SECURITY (separately listed on Euronext Paris), and 98% of JKF Industri A/S and 100% of CIPRIANI PHE, with M&A activity ongoing since 2005.

The group monetises primarily through B2B hardware sales of engineered industrial equipment (heat exchangers, autoclaves, fans, dust extraction, pneumatic transport, railway maintenance gear, VAKTRAK tunnel cleaning trains) and building products (locks, doors, windows, shutters, blinds), supplemented by professional services (NEU Automation consulting, ITN Formation training). Proprietary technology underpins pricing power: 250+ patents in DOM Industry, PLATULAIRE welded plate and Shell&Twist tubular heat exchangers, STERIFLOW's 1974 superheated cascading water sterilisation, CYCLAIR 300 nuclear-grade negative-pressure filtration, the RONIS captive key approved by EDF for nuclear cabinets, and AMBIOCLEAN/NEUPULSE industrial air-handling systems. Revenue is generated via a mix of direct enterprise field sales (Delta Neu, NEU Automation, JKF Scandinavia/Germany/Austria/Baltics), distributor networks (DOM Security across Europe, Steriflow's 55 global agents), and independent dealer channels (Franciaflex/Storistes de France for residential building products), with exports representing 60-70% of revenue at Barriquand and NEU FEVI.

The group's customers span food processing (Bogasari, dairy groups in Japan), automotive (Michelin, Renault Trucks, PSA), nuclear energy (EDF Taishan EPR), aerospace (Air France at Charles de Gaulle), manufacturing (Areva, Arcelor, Saint Gobain), chemicals/pharmaceuticals (Steriflow's 2,500 autoclaves in 110 countries), rail (Paris, New York, Moscow metros), and consumer brands (McDonald's). Production spans 11+ European sites plus Denmark/Poland/Malaysia (JKF), Germany (DOM Sicherheitstechnik), Slovenia (DOM Titan), Spain (Telesco), and Brazil (Barriquand). Following the 2018 leadership transition (Damien Chauveinc replacing Jean-Bertrand Prot as Deputy CEO), the group is positioning itself for further consolidation in air treatment and HVAC via bolt-on M&A and emerging-market expansion.
