RESEELEC

What RESEELEC does

RESEELEC is a family-owned electrical infrastructure services company headquartered in Arques, Pas-de-Calais, in France's Nord-Pas-de-Calais region. Founded in 1976 by Aimé GEVAERT and operated today as a SAS with €100,000 share capital, the company provides installation and maintenance of electrical networks, public lighting, traffic management systems, pumping stations, EV charging stations, and seasonal Christmas illuminations, with project delivery handled by an in-house field workforce. Its customer base spans four segments declared on the company website: Collectivités (municipalities), Promoteurs (property developers), Industriels (industrial firms), and Particuliers (individual homeowners), with collectivités as the primary revenue driver.

Core technical capability centers on trenchless underground cabling via the proprietary Terra Mini-Jet 1400 directional drilling machine, capable of boring up to 50 meters at diameters up to 260mm under pavement where conventional trenching is constrained. The service portfolio is anchored by network burial (effacement des réseaux), public lighting installation and energy retrofits that deliver 30-40% electricity cost reductions to municipal clients, EV charging station deployment (including vehicle, market, and fairground variants), road safety equipment (speed radars, safety barriers, traffic lights), pumping stations for developable terrain, and stadium/sports lighting. The company holds QualifElec professional qualifications (ME3-TN3-RT, BRT1-BRT2-BTA-BTS) and a 2013 Carte Professionnelle d'Entrepreneur de Travaux Publics, and is pursuing ISO 9001 and MASE certifications.

The business runs on project-based professional services contracts with custom quotations; revenue comes from one-time infrastructure projects, recurring seasonal work (Christmas illuminations), and EV charging installations. Geographic operations remain concentrated in the Audomarois and Nord-Pas-de-Calais departments. Leadership transitioned from founder Aimé GEVAERT to Alice GEVAERT in 2008, who modernized the study, administrative, HR, quality, and safety functions. The firm has no external institutional investors and operates without disclosed revenue, with headcount reported at 7 employees per firmographic sources.

• Eiffage Énergie Systèmes: Eiffage Énergie Systèmes is a large French energy-infrastructure contractor serving utilities, municipalities, and developers with electrical networks, public lighting, and EV charging — a broad incumbent that bids for the same regional and national tenders as RESEELEC.
• VINCI Energies: VINCI Energies (including Cegelec and Omexom brands) is a top-tier European player in energy infrastructure, networks, and EV charging — a broad incumbent competing for the largest public-works and DSO contracts in France.
• Bouygues Energies & Services: Bouygues Energies & Services delivers electrical infrastructure, public lighting, and EV charging projects for French municipalities and developers — a broad incumbent that competes for the same tender types as RESEELEC at greater scale.

Emerging players

• Citeos (VINCI Energies brand): Citeos is VINCI Energies' dedicated public-lighting and smart-city infrastructure brand, focused on connected lighting and urban electrical systems — directly comparable to RESEELEC's public-lighting and network-burial offerings, with an emerging emphasis on smart-city services.
• Borea (EDF group): Borea, part of the EDF group, develops and operates solar and EV charging infrastructure in France — an emerging player overlapping with RESEELEC's EV charging business, though with a different ownership and capital structure.

Direct peers

• Sobeca (now SPIE CityNetworks): Sobeca, now part of SPIE CityNetworks, is a French specialist in electrical distribution networks, public lighting, and EV charging infrastructure — directly comparable to RESEELEC's core service portfolio of network burial, public lighting, and IRVE installations.
