What AgaPei-ESAT does

AgaPei-ESAT (legal entity: PLATEFORME PROMETHEE AGAPEI) is a French non-profit medico-social platform headquartered in Toulouse that groups multiple Établissements et Services d'Aide par le Travail (ESAT) and Entreprises Adaptées (EA) across the Gers, Tarn, and Haute-Garonne departments of the Occitanie region. The platform provides a unified commercial interface for a network of 15+ sheltered-work establishments, offering services across seven categories: textile (industrial laundry, sewing/upcycling), industrial subcontracting (aerospace, manufacturing, recycling), wood and buildings (art framing, industrial carpentry, cleaning, painting), green spaces and vines (parks maintenance, horticulture, viticulture and wine sales), stationery and promotional items, seminar venue rental and catering, and personnel provision (logistics, cleaning, green spaces).

The business model is built on B2B and B2Government subcontracting, targeting companies with 20 or more employees that are subject to France's Obligation d'Emploi des Travailleurs Handicapés (OETH) and public-sector entities subject to FIPHFP. Clients can offset up to 30% of their contract value against mandatory AGEFIPH/FIPHFP contributions, subject to statutory ceilings, while fulfilling CSR and disability-inclusion objectives. Named customers include Crédit Agricole, Veolia Eau, Square Habitat, Frescoryl, and WE-EF. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based; engagement flows through the website, contact forms, and direct sales. The PLATEFORME entity itself operates with a small coordination team (7 employees listed), with operational delivery executed through the affiliated ESAT and EA sites.

Others

• AGEFIPH: French fund that collects OETH contributions from private-sector employers and finances disability inclusion, including subcontracting with ESAT/EAs. Not a competitor but a critical ecosystem participant that sets the financial incentives underwriting AgaPei's value proposition.
• FIPHFP: Public-sector counterpart to AGEFIPH that finances disability inclusion in the French civil service. Not a competitor but a key funding and incentive mechanism for AgaPei's public-sector (collectivités) contracts.

Direct peers

• APF France Handicap: Major French disability association running sheltered workshops and adapted services with similar commercial offerings (subcontracting, services to enterprises) tied to the OETH framework. Comparable as a parallel association-based sheltered-employment provider.
• Groupe VITamine T: Federated network of ESAT and adapted enterprises in northern France offering industrial subcontracting, logistics, green spaces, and personnel provision. Closely mirrors AgaPei's federated platform structure and service breadth.
• ADAPEI: Network of departmental associations (e.g., ADAPEI 32, ADAPEI 81) that operate ESAT and EA establishments with overlapping service portfolios and geographic proximity to AgaPei's footprint. Direct regional competitor for OETH-driven contracts in Occitanie.
• LADAPT: French medico-social association operating ESAT, EA, and adapted-employment programmes across multiple regions. Directly comparable in mission, service mix (subcontracting, facility services, staffing), and reliance on the OETH/AGEFIPH framework.
• Fédération APAJH: National federation of associations serving people with disabilities, operating ESAT/EA establishments that offer subcontracting and services to public and private buyers. Directly comparable as a federated sheltered-employment operator serving OETH-compliant clients.
• Réseau GESAT: National aggregator network of ESAT and EA establishments in France that markets commercial subcontracting and services to enterprises and public buyers. Operates as a direct parallel to AgaPei's PLATEFORME ESAT, with a broader geographic reach but a similar sheltered-employment value proposition.

Regional players

• Cap Emploi: France-wide network of specialised employment agencies for people with disabilities, delivering placement, training, and supported employment services. Comparable as a disability-employment service provider serving the same OETH-driven buyer base, though focused on placement rather than subcontracting.

Broad incumbents

• VYV: Large French mutual/group with diversified health, social, and sheltered-employment activities. Overlaps with AgaPei on adapted-enterprise services but competes from a much broader portfolio and national footprint.
