What ESAT PEP 64 does

ESAT PEP 64 is a French nonprofit sheltered work establishment (Établissement et Service d'Aide par le Travail) operated by Association Les PEP64 (association loi 1901). Headquartered in Billère and serving approximately 250 disabled adults referred by the CDAPH (Commission des Droits et de l'Autonomie des Personnes Handicapées), it runs two accredited facilities — ESAT Jean Genèze in Pau (Béarn) and ESAT RECUR in Bayonne (Côte Basque) — plus satellite sites in Salies-de-Béarn and Anglet. The organization's core function is vocational rehabilitation and professional integration of adults whose disability prevents direct access to ordinary employment, delivered via a multidisciplinary team of workshop supervisors, technical educators, a work psychologist, a psychiatrist, and professional integration officers.

The service portfolio comprises ten offerings: Blanchisserie Repassage (laundry and ironing with pickup/delivery), Conditionnement (packaging, assembly, labeling), Couture (sewing, alterations, label application), Entretien des locaux (building cleaning), Espaces verts (landscaping and green space maintenance), Entretien des véhicules (vehicle maintenance), Peinture (interior/exterior painting), Restaurant Traiteur (on-site restaurant seating 75 plus catering), Location de salles de réunion (meeting room rental), and Mise à disposition (placement of workers into ordinary work environments under tri-party contracts). Underlying technology is limited to physical logistics assets (including an automatic-transmission delivery truck with backup camera for laundry routes), mobile crews with equipment, and a WordPress-based web presence; there is no proprietary software, AI/ML product, or API offering.

The revenue model is a hybrid of regulated French state funding (aide au poste per disabled worker) and commercial service contracts negotiated individually with enterprises, public collectivities, associations, and individuals. Mise à disposition placements are billed at approximately 35–40% of the gross SMIC hourly minimum wage plus employer contributions and 10% paid leave, with contract durations from 1 month up to a renewable maximum of 2 years. Named contract customers include IKEA (worker integration), SAFRAN Helicopter Engines (green-space maintenance), Ville d'Anglet (municipal uniform laundry), and MORDICUS (biscuit packaging), alongside individual B2C restaurant and room-rental patrons. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; contracts are individually negotiated.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Hanploi: Specialized digital job platform connecting disabled workers with inclusive employers. Partial overlap with ESAT PEP 64's placement mission, but operates as an online marketplace rather than a sheltered workshop — relevant as the digital alternative for the same end-customer.
• Adecco France Inclusion: Major staffing group's disability/inclusion arm offering adapted work and placement services to enterprises pursuing OETH compliance. Competes with ESAT PEP 64 for the same corporate inclusion RFPs, but as a for-profit operator with greater commercial scale.

Others

• AGEFIPH: Public fund financing disability employment in the private sector. Not an operator, but the dominant funder and policy-shaper of ESAT PEP 64's revenue model; critical to monitor for subsidy and OETH policy direction.

Broad incumbents

• APF France Handicap: One of France's largest disability NGOs, operating ESATs, MAS, and employment-inclusion services nationally. Comparable operating model (sheltered work + inclusion pathways) but at significantly greater scale and geographic reach than ESAT PEP 64.
• ADAPEI: National federation of departmental associations (including ADAPEI 64 in Pyrénées-Atlantiques) that operate ESATs and other disability services across France. Closest structural analog — same ESAT regulatory framework, similar sheltered-work and inclusion mission, but operating across many more sites and departments.
• UNAPEI: National federation representing 900+ ESATs and disability associations. Relevant as the macro policy and benchmarking peer for ESAT PEP 64's sheltered-work and inclusion model, even though UNAPEI itself is a federation rather than an operator.

Direct peers

• CAP EMPLOI: Specialized national network of agencies placing disabled workers in mainstream employment. Directly comparable on the 'mise à disposition' / job-placement side of ESAT PEP 64's business and a primary alternative pathway for the same employer customers.
• Ladapt: Association operating ESATs and socio-professional inclusion programs across France. Same sheltered-work and inclusion model as ESAT PEP 64, with a comparable mix of state funding and commercial revenue, but multi-regional rather than single-department.
• Fédération Générale des PEP: National federation of which PEP64 is a member. Other PEP departmental associations (e.g., PEP01, PEP21) operate similar ESAT and inclusion services. Direct institutional peer with shared brand, governance approach, and service mix.

Regional players

• Association des Paralysés de France (APF) — local ESATs: Local APF-affiliated ESATs in other French regions operate essentially the same sheltered-work and integration model as ESAT PEP 64, but in different geographies — useful as cross-regional comps on cost-per-worker, subsidy rates, and commercial revenue mix.
