Pic Maintenance

What Pic Maintenance does

PIC Maintenance (legal name: PIC – Partenaire Industriels et Conseils) is a French industrial metalworking and maintenance services company founded in 2001 and headquartered in Vif, Isère (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes). The firm operates a 1,500 m² equipped workshop and offers four integrated service lines: métallerie (custom metal structures), chaudronnerie (boilermaking and metal fabrication), tuyauterie (industrial piping and SKID prefabrication), and maintenance industrielle (preventive and corrective maintenance, including shutdown management). All work is delivered in-house without sub-contracting, spanning design/engineering studies, structural calculations, workshop fabrication across steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, and on-site installation. The firm holds MASE safety certification continuously since 2010 and employs approximately 40 collaborators.

The company's commercial model is project-based B2B services, sold directly to large industrial groups through field sales relationships. Disclosed customer engagements span industrial gases (Air Liquide), semiconductors (STMicroelectronics, including a €600k piping project and a €90k Catania site project), EV battery manufacturing (Verkor, €250k), water treatment (Nihuis Saur, €300k), hydrogen (Absolut System), energy (EDF), and industrial engineering (ECM Technologies, IDEX, M Gérard). Revenue is generated from one-time project deliveries and, where applicable, recurring maintenance contracts. Pricing is quote-based with no public disclosure, and the firm commits to a 48-hour response on enquiries.

PIC is privately held (SAS form, registered in Grenoble), founder-owned by Director Johan Capot and Business Development lead Etienne Capot, with no external institutional investment. Geographic reach is concentrated in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region with national French coverage and selective international deployment for key accounts. The firm is executing a strategic capacity expansion with a planned 500 m² cleanroom workshop in 2026 to access food, pharmaceutical, and hydrogen sector opportunities, representing its primary forward-looking growth vector. Reported revenue for FY2024 was €5.5M.
