Cirpé

What Cirpé does

Cirpé is a French heating, ventilation, air conditioning (CVC/HVAC), and sanitary installation and maintenance company headquartered in Illkirch-Graffenstaden, Alsace. Founded in 2008 as a unipersonnelle firm and structured as a SAS with €100,000 share capital, the company operates exclusively within the Alsace region and serves primarily social housing providers (Alsace Habitat, Habitat de l'Ill, Habitation Moderne) and the Collectivité Européenne d'Alsace (CEA), a local government entity. The firm reports 30+ employees specialized in thermal system assembly, maintenance, repair, and sanitary equipment installation.

The company's core technology stack centers on Centralized Technical Management (GTC / Building Management Systems) using SIEMENS regulation compliant with NF EN 15232, high-efficiency condensing boilers (ThémaPlus Condens F 25 by Saunier Duval), Transpoco-powered geolocation for fleet dispatch, and a dedicated client portal (suivi.cirpe.net) for service tracking. Two wholly-owned subsidiaries extend the offering: ACDG (established 2017) provides hydrocurage, water treatment, and waste management; Eurl Idéal (established 2021) addresses multi-service housing installations and entered CEA procurement in 2022. In 2019, Cirpé deployed 280 locally manufactured photovoltaic panels on-site for self-consumption, battery storage, and grid injection, positioning the group around sustainability credentials that align with public-sector client priorities.

Cirpé generates revenue through a mix of recurring annual maintenance contracts and one-time installation projects, acquired via direct field sales responding to public procurement tenders. Pricing is quote-based and bespoke for social landlords and public entities. Go-to-market relies on long-cycle tenders and direct enterprise relationships rather than paid digital channels, supported by a credential-heavy brand posture (Qualibat 5213/5221/5222/5231, Artisan d'Alsace, Alsace Excellence, COPFI SÜR, Professionnel du Gaz, Socotec refrigerant attestation, Effi'gaz). The company manages energy savings certificates (CEE) administration on behalf of clients in partnership with Électricité de Strasbourg, and operates electric and natural gas vehicle fleets with planned hydrogen integration.
