Core offering

EMIS operates as a general contractor for major industrial maintenance shutdowns, coordinating inspection, cleaning, repair, modernization, and assembly work for industrial facilities. The company also performs industrial piping prefabrication and new construction through its Port-de-Bouc workshop, complemented by high-pressure cleaning (up to 800 bars), assembly and lifting, access and thermal insulation services delivered via its subsidiaries EMIS Access and EMIS Portugal.

Product overview

EMIS is an industrial services company operating as a unified service provider rather than a software/platform. The company offers two main activities: Maintenance Shutdowns (Arrêts de Maintenance) as a General Contractor, and New Construction/Revamping (Revamping & Travaux Neufs) for industrial piping. These are supported by core trade services including Metallurgy ( Métallurgie) delivered via the Port-de-Bouc prefabrication workshop, High-Pressure Cleaning (Nettoyage Haute Pression), and Assembly & Lifting (Montage & Levage). The subsidiary EMIS Access provides specialized access solutions and thermal insulation (calorifuge) services, while EMIS Portugal extends scaffolding, insulation, and assembly capabilities to the Iberian market.
