Our history

The origins of Energipole

Energipole is the result of a long entrepreneurial journey led by Alain Mallart, a bold founder and visionary entrepreneur behind many companies. 

Since the 1970s, he has been active in recycling and industrial logistics, laying the foundations for what would later become a structured and diversified group.

Also the founder of Ojirel (a real estate investment company), Alain Mallart is passionate about building ventures that are both entrepreneurial and human.

The creation of the Energipole Group

In 2006, he founded Energipole, a unifying banner for all the group’s environmental activities, and surrounded himself with committed managers who became shareholders in their companies. This participatory governance gives Energipole the strength of a group combined with the agility and proximity of an SME.
