IESA: Automation for Worldwide Industries

IESA Automation provides to customers (EPC, OEM, End Users) with advice services and

know-how in the electrical installations, automation and industrial simulators fields.

In particular its engineering department has built a solid a reputation in automated

processes and power distribution projects in various industrial sectors.

Christian Rickenbach and Chérif Hadji set up a private limited company called "IGE" (Ingénierie Electrique) in Vienne

IGE changed its name to IESA and became a public limited company

First foreign subsidiary – IESA Alger

Increased capital to €240K

Moved to Le Jazz Parc

ISO 9001 certification

IGE was growing and moved into new premises

ISEA moved to the Espace Saint-Germain. 500 m² of office space

Opened a subsidiary in Cyprus Set up a Simulation department

Launched the Plug n'Test simulator

Increased capital o €750K Opened the Swiss subsidiary in Martigny
