PREMEL CABIC

What PREMEL CABIC does

Prémel-Cabic is a French specialty electrotechnical contractor founded in 1978 and headquartered in Plounévez-Lochrist, Finistère, Brittany. The company designs, installs, and maintains electrical, heating, ventilation, security, irrigation, refrigeration, and water-treatment systems for agricultural operations — primarily livestock buildings (pigs, poultry, cattle), horticulture and market gardening facilities, agricultural cold storage, and municipal water infrastructure. Service coverage spans the Finistère and Côtes d'Armor departments, with a 45-person workforce deployed from two agency locations (Plounévez-Lochrist and Plouisy) offering 24/7 emergency response.

The business operates on a project-based installation model complemented by recurring maintenance contracts on the installed base. Revenue streams include one-time installation work (electrotechnical systems, cold storage, generator sets, industrial electrical), professional services (24/7 maintenance and repair, water pumping and treatment), and ancillary hardware sales. The company integrates third-party process computers and equipment (Hortimax for climate/irrigation, Fancom, Prinzen, Vencomatic, Lubing, Netafim, Sofrel/WIT telemonitoring, SDMO/Kohler generators, Xylem water solutions), positioning itself as the regional system integrator rather than a hardware manufacturer.

Prémel-Cabic has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of the ENERGIX group since 2020. Under that umbrella the company has executed three inorganic moves: the 2020 acquisition of LS FROID (refrigeration, Landivisiau), the 2020 creation of ID RESEAUX (alarm and video surveillance), and the 2021 acquisition of SODIMEL (livestock equipment resale and installation, Melesse). These moves have broadened the service portfolio into refrigeration, security, and equipment distribution while extending the geographic footprint from western Brittany into Ille-et-Vilaine.

Product overview

PREMEL-CABIC is a service-based company providing electrotechnical solutions primarily for the agricultural sector. The company operates as a multi-service offering centered around four core domains: (1) Livestock Equipment (Matériel d'élevage) - ventilation, heating, security, alarm systems, and computerized water/feed distribution; (2) Horticultural Equipment (Horticulture/Maraîchage) - irrigation, fertilization, climate management computers (Hortimax), and conservation; (3) Refrigeration (Installations frigorifiques) - cold storage for vegetables and flowers, including LS FROID acquired services; and (4) Industrial Electrical (Electricité industrielle) - telemonitoring, pumping systems, and water treatment. Additional services include generators and water treatment for municipalities. The company expanded through acquisitions of LS FROID (2020), creation of ID RESEAUX (2020), and acquisition of SODIMEL (2021). The portfolio is a unified service offering rather than a software platform, with services delivered through two regional agencies (Plounévez-Lochrist and Plouisy) supported by 45 employees.
