Kalitec, a company specializing in heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) for professionals in the tertiary and industrial sector, has announced its integration into Blue Pearl Energy, an innovative European B2B energy services platform. Launched in 2020, Blue Pearl Energy brings together complementary SMEs in the energy services sector within a powerful network allowing them to accelerate their growth by accessing larger projects and benefit from the synergies of the platform.

It specializes in the areas of installation and maintenance of heating and air conditioning systems for professional customers, particularly in the tertiary, health, industry, food and beverage sectors including wineries.
“We were convinced by Blue Pearl Energy’s unique model, which allows the SMEs in its network to benefit from powerful development levers while maintaining great autonomy in the field as well as their own identity. We are all very excited to embark on this next stage of our growth by welcoming Blue Pearl Energy as a key partner and shareholder. Thanks to our presence in Toulouse and Bordeaux, we will be able to strengthen the national network of Blue Pearl with effective teams in place throughout the South-West region”, comments Hervé Méric, CEO and founder of Kalitec.
Blue Pearl’s business model involves taking a stake in the capital of the SMEs integrating its network. The owners and managers of the SMEs on the platform continue to manage their local entities while actively participating in the development of the Blue Pearl Energy, in which they also become shareholders.
“We are delighted that Kalitec has chosen to join Blue Pearl. Its significant know-how in climate engineering and the significant portfolio of clients it has in key sectors make them a new high-quality partner for our network. In particular, we would like to warmly welcome to the governance of Blue Pearl Energy Hervé Méric, CEO and founder of Kalitec, Arnaud Amalric, its associate director of operations in Toulouse and Grégory Marrier, associate director in Bordeaux.
