SERFIM, dedicated to sustainable regional development and quality of life
SERFIM is an independent, family-owned mid-sized company that celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2025; its capital is owned by both the family and the employees. We have 3,000 employees. Our operations are spread across some 40 companies, and we have a presence throughout France as well as in Spain, through our approximately 100 locations.
Our corporate purpose: to help improve the quality of life of residents by developing sustainable regions that respect living organisms.
Our activities focus on around ten concrete business lines, with a tangible purpose that is useful in everyone's daily life.
In broad terms:
• We install and repair energy, water, and district heating networks,
• We remediate soil and water,
• We repair tunnels, bridges, and civil engineering structures,
• We develop roads and bike paths,
• We recycle waste and process it into new raw materials,
• We develop the clean energies of tomorrow, such as photovoltaic panels...
The environment is part of SERFIM’s DNA. Our Waste Treatment and Recycling operations were launched 40 and 30 years ago, respectively!
For example, in 2024, our Recycling operation prevented nearly 827,710 metric tons of waste from being landfilled. Our pollution control operations, meanwhile, treated 596,255 m³ of water.
Project Focus:
Preserving water resources
For 36 years, our company, SATIF, has been assisting local governments with the maintenance and repair of drinking water infrastructure. Consulting, monitoring, maintenance, cleaning, and repair: our highly tech
s at water catchment areas throughout
France help improve the production
of wells and boreholes.
Giving land a second life
Our company, Terenvie, was founded in 2019 through a partnership between Serpol and the Vicat cement group. This platform is dedicated to the reuse of excavated soil from construction and public works projects using environmentally friendly processes.
Terenvie also transforms polluted soil into fertile land, notably through rhizodegradation.
A platform that addresses multiple challenges: tackling the scarcity of fertile land, helping to green our cities, recycling construction waste, and preserving resources through the circular economy.
In 2023, Terenvie celebrated its 300,000th tonne of recycled soil.
Developing connected territories to protect the environment
SERFIM T.I.C., our division dedicated to information and communication technologies, offers local governments a turnkey platform for visualizing, monitoring, and analyzing their energy and quality-of-life data:
Monitoring energy consumption; measuring and tracking air quality and noise levels; remote meter reading for water, gas, and electricity; flood prevention; optimizing waste collection; and more.
The goal: to help local communities
reduce their environmental footprint by closely monitoring their key indicators and accurately measuring the impacts of their environmental policies.
Preventing waste from going to landfill
SERFIM Recyclage has developed a comprehensive system for recycling plaster in France. These operations go hand in hand with the creation of industrial partnerships, a hallmark of the division’s action strategies. SERFIM Recyclage is currently developing an innovative industrial facility for processing plaster waste and producing recycled gypsum through its subsidiaries Nantet (Savoie) and Pari Plâtre (Seine-et-Marne).
Since 2011, more than 300,000 metric tons of material have been recycled through the activities of these companies.
