Founded in 2007, Tibbloc is the French leader in temporary heating, cooling and steam production solutions:
- Heating, with a fleet of more than 300 mobile heating systems,
- Cooling, with a recent fleet of positive and negative cooling equipment,
- Steam, with a complete range of steam and hot water boilers and ancillaries.
Driven in particular by the development of energy networks and services, Tibbloc has experienced strong growth since its creation. The group has 70 employees and achieved a turnover of €19 million in 2019.
Tibbloc regularly invests in top quality equipment and covers the whole of France thanks to its 5 agencies (Paris, Lyon, Nantes, Lille and Marseille). The group has a diversified customer base of large groups (energy services, network operators, large industrial companies), SMEs and local authorities.
Tibbloc intervenes in a fast and agile way in case of breakdown or maintenance of fixed equipment or to face peaks of activity. In the context of the Covid-19 crisis, Tibbloc’s solutions enabled the continuity of activity of many hospitals and EHPAD under tension through the implementation of temporary emergency structures for the production of heating and domestic hot water.
This operation should enable Tibbloc to begin its managerial transition and to continue its strong growth in France and then in Europe, by capitalising on its position as leader in heating and by gaining market share in cooling and steam.
