Groupe Rampa

What Groupe Rampa does

Groupe Rampa is a privately-held, fourth-generation French family-owned infrastructure and construction group headquartered in Le Pouzin (Ardèche), operating since 1925 across four core business lines: water networks and hydraulic works (Rampa Travaux Publics and Pompage Rhône Alpes), electrical distribution and renewable energy networks (Rampa Energies), prefabricated architectural concrete products including Béton Fibré Ultra Hautes Performances (BFUP) and integrated insulation panels (Rampa Préf and Rampa Préf Suisse SA), and real estate development (Rampa Réalisations). The group employs approximately 700 people across roughly 15 agencies and subsidiaries concentrated in southeastern France (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, PACA, Occitanie), with cross-border presence in Switzerland via Rampa Préf Suisse SA established in 2021. Its underlying technology stack spans electromechanical pumping installations, aerial and underground energy networks, photovoltaic/wind connections, and architectonic precast concrete manufacturing executed from a 9,000m² facility in Privas.

The business model is project-based professional services for three divisions (water, energy, real estate) combined with hardware sales for the prefabrication unit. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales with no intermediary channel partners, targeting municipal and regional public infrastructure authorities, energy distributors and grid operators, construction companies and architectural firms, and mid-market property developers and investors. Disclosed revenue stood at approximately €140 million, with subsidiary contributions of roughly €76M (Rampa TP), €22M (Rampa Energies), €20M (Rampa Réalisations, 2022), and €15M (Rampa Préf, 2024). The group is certified ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and OHSAS 18001, invests approximately €4 million annually in material equipment, and runs an internal apprenticeship pipeline of ~50 apprentices per year with an 83% conversion rate to permanent contracts.

Direct peers

• NGE (Nouvelles Générations d'Entrepreneurs): Major French regional infrastructure group operating across earthworks, road, networks, energy and construction, with a strong presence in southern France. Comparable in structure (multi-divisional infrastructure services), geographic profile, and B2B public-sector focus.
• SADE - Compagnie Générale de Travaux d'Hydraulique: French specialist contractor focused on water and hydraulic infrastructure construction, including networks, pumping stations and river works. Closely comparable to Groupe Rampa's Rampa TP and Pompage Rhône Alpes subsidiaries in both service mix and target customer base (municipalities, water utilities, industrial clients).
• Spie SA: French-listed multi-technical services group with a strong France Network division for electrical distribution, public lighting and telecom networks. Most directly comparable for Rampa Energies' service offering and customer base (Enedis, local authorities).

Broad incumbents

• Eiffage: One of France's largest construction and infrastructure groups operating across construction, civil engineering, energy systems and concessions. Comparable to the group as a whole in scope and end markets, but at vastly greater scale with public-market capital access.
• Vicat: French-listed cement and concrete producer with significant operations in southeastern France and Swiss markets. Comparable to Rampa Préfā for cement-based products and to the broader group in geographic footprint and customer overlap with regional construction.
• Saur: French water-services company (water utility management, network maintenance) serving municipalities. While a service operator rather than pure contractor, Saur is the most relevant comparison for Rampa TP's municipal water-network business given overlapping customer base and territorial focus.
• Saint-Gobain Distribution Bâtiment France: Major French building-materials distributor and producer serving construction professionals. Comparable to Rampa Préfā on the materials side (architectural concrete, BFUP, insulation panels) supplying building contractors in France and Switzerland.
• Colas (Bouygues): French road and infrastructure construction subsidiary of Bouygues, operating extensively across southeastern France in road, utilities and earthworks. Overlaps with Rampa's water-network and energy-distribution businesses in serving public-sector infrastructure clients.
• Bouygues Construction: French-listed construction major covering building, civil works and energy networks across France and internationally. Comparable in the energy-installation and building-services segments that overlap with Rampa Energies and Rampa Préfā.
• Vinci Construction: Global French construction group with major water, energy networks and civil-infrastructure activities in France. Overlaps with Rampa across hydraulic works, energy distribution, and prefabricated concrete; serves as the dominant scale competitor in public tenders.
