Our history
Energipole is the result of a long entrepreneurial journey led by Alain Mallart, a bold founder of numerous companies and a visionary.
In the 1970s, he became involved in recycling and industrial logistics, laying the foundations for what would become a structured and diversified group.
Also the founder of Ojirel (property investment company), Alain Mallart enjoys building both entrepreneurial and human adventures.
The creation of the Energipole group
In 2006, he created Energipole, a unifying umbrella for all the group’s environmental activities, and surrounded himself with committed managers who themselves became partners. This participatory governance gives Energipole the strength of a group, combined with the responsiveness and proximity of an SME.
