AAD Phenix

What AAD Phenix does

AAD Phenix is a French specialist provider of post-disaster decontamination, restoration, and remediation services, founded in 1997 and operating as an autonomous subsidiary of the STELLIANT group since its late-2018 acquisition. Headquartered in Cesson Sevigné with 28 distributed agencies across France and approximately 200-300 multi-trade interveners, the company delivers end-to-end recovery services spanning fire and water damage decontamination, technical drying (assèchement), non-destructive leak detection, asbestos removal under NF X46-010 certification (Sous-sections 3 and 4), building restoration, disaster document salvage, and air hygiene.

The technology stack is anchored by an in-house R&D department and a portfolio of more than 10 non-destructive leak detection techniques (Recherche de Fuites Non Destructives — RFND), including fluorescein/UV detection, acoustic analysis, endoscopic camera with colorant, smoke injection in pipe networks, and other methods designed to locate hidden water ingress without destructive building works. These capabilities are supported by a remote operations management platform that coordinates dispatch across the 28-agency footprint to guarantee on-site response within 2 hours nationally and quote-to-intervention within 24-48 hours, with 98% reported customer satisfaction among disaster victims.

AAD Phenix operates a B2B professional services model under quote-based per-project pricing, with disclosed project values ranging from €2,800 HT (small residential) to €300,000 HT (large industrial) and typical mid-size engagements around €12,000-€31,000 HT. The primary customer segments are insurers and claims experts (Assureurs et Experts) who coordinate disaster recovery, Multirisque Habitation residential property owners and managers, and industrial/commercial enterprises requiring decontamination, equipment salvage, and business-interruption mitigation. The go-to-market is sales-led via direct phone and web inquiry channels, with field operations delivered through the nationwide agency network; no reseller or marketplace channels are used.

Direct peers

• STELLIANT: Parent group of AAD Phenix; multi-trade post-disaster services platform providing the broader context (claims management, restoration) within which AAD Phenix operates. Most comparable as the direct umbrella organization and strategic acquirer.
• GEOP Assistance: Sister subsidiary under STELLIANT focused on post-disaster building restoration (remise en état) — explicitly named on AAD Phenix's own website as the team that handles renovation work after AAD Phenix's decontamination step. Directly complementary service offering.
• Serpol: French industrial cleaning, decontamination, and environmental services company with overlapping decontamination, tank/vessel cleaning, and hazardous material handling capabilities in France.

Broad incumbents

• Ortec Group: Large French industrial services group covering decontamination, asbestos removal (SS3/SS4), and environmental remediation for industrial clients — overlapping with AAD Phenix's industrial line but at significantly broader scale.
• SARP Industries: Major French hazardous waste treatment and industrial site remediation provider (Suez subsidiary); overlapping on hazardous materials handling, asbestos, and industrial depollution work that AAD Phenix also performs.
• Veolia Environmental Services: Global environmental services leader with significant French operations in hazardous waste management, site remediation, and industrial cleaning — broad incumbent that touches the same end markets as AAD Phenix at much larger scale.

Adjacent and partially overlapping in regulated hazardous materials services.
