The year 2024 is an important year for society Maclem. In addition to opening its new premises in Salon-de-Provencethis company specializing in renewable energies was, in fact, bought by Sonergya Marseille company which finances construction workenergy saving.
Clément Cornebize, the founder of the brand and ex-president, said: “I created the company in my garage in Lançon with my brother in 2015. At the time, we did plumbing, electricity and even masonry. When my brother left the company in 2017, I focused on air conditioning and heat pumps I made the company evolve, I made it grow and at the end. 10 years ago, I wanted a new challenge, that’s why I sold 100% of the company to Sonergia.”
A company that now employs 30 employees for an annual turnover of €2 million. Today, Maclem is above all the largest French franchise d’renewable energy installation. Because Clément Cornebize's good idea was to launch into franchising in 2018, with the opening of a first agency in 2019.
“Today Maclem has 40 agencies throughout France for a total turnover of €14 million”, explains Valentin Revest, the company's operational director.
“150 franchisees in France by 2030”
And the growth targets are ambitious : “By 2030, we hope to reach the 150 franchisees in France. And we also want to tackle the large-scale renovation market, for example, with insulation and joinery. We plan to diversify.”confirms Valentin Revest. It is therefore not surprising that the company has invested 1 million € in its new premises in Salone. “In Lançon-Provence, we were cramped, now we have a surface area of 400 m2 with a beautiful showroom.”
And it was Monday, November 25, that the new premises were inaugurated in the presence of the mayor Nicolas Isnard, and the new owner Franck Annamayer. “For us who finance renovation work with Sonergia and its 155 employees, it was interesting to buy Maclem in order to offer a global service to our customers. Especially since renewable energies are the future as energy bills are going to increase.”
So the time has come recruitment at Maclem which is looking for many network presenters.
