Industrial services

Fire, climate, power, water, security: in a plant or a building some things cannot fail, and someone installs and maintains them. That trade is the sector.

Let’s talk

The niches

What the sector covers

  1. Fire protection

    Installation and maintenance of detection and suppression systems: mandatory inspections, a fixed schedule and a customer who cannot do without the service.

  2. HVAC

    Installers and maintainers of air-conditioning and ventilation for industrial and commercial buildings: an installed base that requires maintenance and renewal.

  3. Electrical

    Electrical installations for plants and buildings: switchboards, distribution, maintenance and certification. A scarce trade and customers who come back.

  4. Plumbing

    Plumbing, drainage and water treatment for industrial and commercial buildings: an essential, technical service with few trusted providers in each area.

  5. Security

    Electronic security: intrusion detection, access control and connection to an alarm receiving centre, with certified installation and subscription-based maintenance.

  6. CCTV

    Video surveillance: design, installation and maintenance of camera and recording systems, with technology upgrades as recurring revenue.

Why here

Maintenance is not optional

An industrial plant or a commercial building depends on installations that regulations require to be inspected and that the business cannot afford to see stopped. Whoever installs and maintains them makes sure they never do: the quiet guarantee that everything keeps working and stays compliant.

It is also a market of small, local companies that nobody has yet consolidated. We believe that, with permanent capital and without haste, it is possible to build an industrial services platform that brings trades together and shares customers.

The company profile

What companies in the sector look like

A licensed installation and maintenance company, with a book of maintenance contracts that carries the year before the first new project, repeat industrial and commercial customers, in-house technicians and a second line of management able to run day-to-day operations. It may cover one of these trades or several: the platform is built by adding them together.

A profile, not a closed list: a portrait of the companies with which the sector is built.

Criteria

What we value

The traits that count in a company in the sector, and those that do not.

Industrial and commercial customers who come back year after year

Relying on a single customer or a single contract

In-house technicians and up-to-date licences

Subcontracting only: no in-house trade

A management team with its own vision and continuity

A company that depends on a single person

Proven profitability and cash visible in the accounts

A business that still depends on a plan yet to be delivered

The best maintenance firms do not advertise: their customers recommend them. That trust is the sector’s asset.

Discretion is the cornerstone of the firm: every conversation starts and remains confidential.
