What EURL JOACHIM does

EURL JOACHIM, operating as Joachim Calorifuge (dba: Entreprise Joachim), is a family-owned French thermal insulation services company founded in 2006 by Jean-Philippe Joachim in Eysines, Nouvelle-Aquitaine. The company is incorporated as an EURL/SARL (SIREN 487966947) and transitioned leadership in 2024 to second-generation owner Killian Joachim. It specializes in calorifuge — the professional insulation of piping networks, boiler rooms, ventilation ducts, tanks, reservoirs, and process equipment — using certified materials including rock wool (laine de roche), polyisocyanurate foam, elastomer foam, and aluminum finishing systems (including the EVO 3000E MABI system).

Joachim Calorifuge delivers five integrated service modules: industrial insulation, piping network insulation, boiler room insulation, ventilation duct insulation, and tank/reservoir insulation. The company serves industrial, tertiary, public-sector, and wine-industry clients, operating as a subcontractor for Tier 1 French construction and energy firms (Vinci, Eiffage, SPIE, Engie, Dalkia) and directly with public entities including CHU de Bordeaux, Bordeaux Métropole, and Institut Bergonié. The firm is QUALIBAT certified, the sector-standard French qualification for insulation contractors, and fields a team of approximately 15 experienced installers operating within a 100km service radius across the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region.

The business model is project-based professional services with quote-driven pricing: customers submit requests via website form, phone, or email and receive quotes within 48 hours for projects in Gironde or Nouvelle-Aquitaine. Revenue is generated from one-time project fees tied to scope, materials, and labor; the company does not publish pricing and operates no software products, APIs, or subscription offerings. Marketing relies on direct B2B relationships, a service-pillar website, and an Instagram channel, with prime-contractor subcontracting serving as the primary distribution channel.

Broad incumbents

• SNEF Group: SNEF is a French multi-technical services company delivering electrical, HVAC, instrumentation, and mechanical insulation work for industrial and tertiary clients. It is directly comparable to Joachim as a French specialty contractor in the MEP/insulation space, though with substantially greater headcount and geographic reach.
• Bouygues Energies & Services: Bouygues Energies & Services is the technical services arm of Bouygues Group, providing HVAC, electrical, and energy infrastructure installation and maintenance for industrial, tertiary, and public clients across France. Its mechanical insulation and HVAC services compete directly with Joachim's calorifuge offerings, with much greater resource depth.
• Eiffage Energie Systèmes: Eiffage is one of Joachim's prime-contractor clients, and its Energie Systèmes division designs, installs, and maintains electrical, HVAC, and energy systems across France. It directly overlaps with thermal insulation installation scopes in industrial and tertiary projects at much greater scale and geographic reach.
• Knauf Insulation: Knauf Insulation is a leading global manufacturer of mineral wool and other insulation products and supports certified installer networks serving industrial, commercial, and residential customers. Its product offering to industrial insulation contractors overlaps with the materials Joachim specifies and installs.
• Kingspan Group: Kingspan is a major global manufacturer of high-performance insulation and building envelope solutions with growing contractor and installer capabilities across Europe. Its industrial and HVAC insulation ranges compete for the same specification-driven scopes Joachim addresses.
• Rockwool France: Rockwool is one of the world's leading stone wool insulation manufacturers and supports installation networks across Europe, including France. It is comparable to Joachim because rock wool is one of Joachim's primary insulation materials, and Rockwool's partner installer program competes for the same industrial insulation scopes.
• Soprema: Soprema is a major French specialty contractor and manufacturer of waterproofing, insulation, and acoustic systems for buildings and industrial installations. Its insulation installation services directly overlap with Joachim's calorifuge scope in industrial and tertiary projects across France.
• Engie Solutions (Engie): ENGIE is one of Joachim's prime-contractor clients but also operates an extensive HVAC, insulation, and energy services business across France and Europe through ENGIE Solutions and its Axima/Reiss brands. It competes for the same industrial and tertiary insulation scopes, albeit as part of a much broader energy services portfolio.
• SPIE SA: SPIE is a leading European multi-technical services group that installs, maintains, and operates energy and HVAC infrastructure for industrial and tertiary clients. It is directly comparable to Joachim as a French technical services provider with mechanical and HVAC installation capabilities, but at vastly greater scale and geographic reach.
• Saint-Gobain (ISOVER): Saint-Gobain, through its ISOVER brand, is the dominant French and global manufacturer of thermal insulation materials and operates an installer/contractor ecosystem. It is comparable to Joachim as a supplier and installer of industrial and building insulation, but at vastly greater scale and with vertically integrated products.
