Its role EPC
CAP INGELEC is an independent French engineering and construction company specializing in turnkey (design and build) projects for complex, high-technical-value facilities.
Founded in 1992 in Mérignac near Bordeaux by Jean-Paul Calès and now led by his son Matthieu Calès as CEO and President, the company focuses on three primary sectors: datacenters, energy infrastructure (including high-voltage substations and connections for hydrogen and renewable projects), and industries (such as clean rooms and process facilities). Its core expertise encompasses electrical engineering, HVAC, industrial automation, and energy efficiency solutions, enabling full EPC delivery from concept to commissioning.
The company operates primarily across France with 14 offices and has expanded internationally to Spain, Italy, Greece, Portugal, and other European locations. It employs around 800 people and reported approximately 680 million euros in revenue in 2025, driven by strong growth in data center and industrial energy projects. CAP INGELEC maintains a family-owned structure with significant employee shareholding to foster engagement and long-term commitment.
Positioned among the top three engineering companies in France, it is recognized for its technical expertise, project management capabilities, and role in critical infrastructure, including recent contracts for large-scale electrical substations supporting low-carbon industrial developments.
