What INGECO / INGEKEYS does

INGECO SAS, founded in 1981 and headquartered in Tassin-la-Demi-Lune (Lyon metropolitan area), France, is a private construction engineering consultancy serving the wine industry and industrial/logistics sectors. The firm employs approximately 104 people and has delivered more than 600 projects across France, including an 11,000 m² winery for Domaines Albert Bichot and a €10 million, 24,000 m² logistics platform for Groupe Alainé at Fay-aux-Loges.

Its core offering is organized around three service models: Maîtrise d'œuvre (full project management from programming through reception), Contractant Général Clés en Main (turnkey general contracting with fixed price and timeline commitments), and Audit et Conseil (feasibility studies, environmental diagnostics, and owner assistance). Delivery rests on a multidisciplinary in-house team covering building construction, winemaking process (œnologie), HVAC/fluids, electrical systems, and infrastructure (VRD), with only 2.5% of activity subcontracted. The firm also provides preventive and curative maintenance management for a real estate portfolio exceeding 300,000 m², creating recurring post-construction client relationships.

INGECO generates revenue exclusively through project-based professional services, acquiring clients via direct enterprise sales and industry referrals (80% of business comes from recommendations). It maintains a presence at trade shows such as SITEVI and a LinkedIn channel for visibility. The company is independently owned with no disclosed parent, institutional investor, or public listing, consistent with a traditional engineering consultancy that has grown organically over 43+ years.
