fire protection. Merged into EQUANS in July 2021, Axima combines its expertise
with that of Fabricom and Cofely Services to improve the performance and
efficiency of industries, buildings, transport infrastructures and distribution
networks.

COMPANIES WITH INTERTWINED DESTINIES


1971

The history of Axima begins with Fabricom setting up an independent HVAC
division. A new company is formed in 1971 and named Fabricom Air Conditioning.
Its first major contract is to install the air conditioning in the WTC 1 & 2
towers near Brussels North Station.


BETWEEN 1972 AND 1975

Fabricom Air Conditioning benefits from the expansion of the Brussels real
estate market.


BETWEEN 1975 AND 1985

Fabricom Air Conditioning is growing steadily, notably thanks to contracts in
the Middle East and in the Belgian nuclear industry. 


1983

Fabricom Air Conditioning opens centres in Flanders and Wallonia.


1986-1999

Fabricom Air Conditioning acquires a series of companies, including Van Heffen,
Rineau, Volker, Merckx and Biotim. 


1987

Bahco Ventilation (the future ISB) joins the Fabricom Group.


2000

Fabricom Group acquires Grencobel. The company, specialised in refrigeration,
takes the name Axima Refrigeration.


2001

Fabricom Air Conditioning is renamed Axima Contracting.


2003

Axima Contracting takes over the activities of GTI in Belgium.


2009

Following the merger of Suez and Gaz de France, the two groups' services
divisions are combined in the entity GDF SUEZ Energy Services; Cofathec is
integrated into Axima Contracting and Cofely Services. Thermoco and ISB remain
separate companies under the umbrella of Axima Contracting.


2012

Axima (which now includes Axima Contracting, Axima Refrigeration, Thermoco and
ISB) becomes Cofely Axima. The name change is intended to increase awareness of
the Cofely brand and to bolster the visibility of the synergies that the
companies in GDF SUEZ Energy Services' Benelux division can offer.

Alongside Cofely Fabricom and Cofely Services, Cofely Axima is then a provider
of energy-related services and offers solutions in HVAC, refrigeration, air
conditioning, piping and fire protection.

 


2015

With the acquisition of Vandewalle in Jabbeke, Cofely Axima moves to West
Flanders.


2015

GDF SUEZ becomes ENGIE. This new name embodies the dynamics of change in the
face of the challenges of the energy transition. At the same time, the Belgian
entities of GDF SUEZ change their names again and become ENGIE Axima, ENGIE
Fabricom and ENGIE Cofely (for the energy services division), as well as ENGIE
Electrabel (for the electricity division). 



Cofely Axima thus continues its activities under the brand ENGIE Axima. ISB
Ventilation becomes ISB Building Technics.


2020

In order to better support their customers in their transition to carbon
neutrality, ENGIE's service entities in Belgium (ENGIE Axima, ENGIE Fabricom,
ENGIE Cofely) are brought together under ENGIE Solutions to distinguish them
from their sister company ENGIE Electrabel, the Belgian market leader in energy
sales and the largest producer of green electricity in Belgium.


JULY 2021

Creation of the EQUANS brand, leader in multi-technical services. EQUANS is now
an autonomous entity within ENGIE, under the general management of Jérôme
Stubler, and includes all ENGIE Group's service companies. In Belgium and
Luxembourg, ENGIE Solutions, which brings together the ENGIE Axima, ENGIE
Fabricom and ENGIE Cofely brands, becomes EQUANS.


NOVEMBER 2021

Bouygues signs a purchase agreement with ENGIE to acquire EQUANS.


OCTOBER 2022

Bouygues completes the acquisition of Equans, a key milestone in its
development. Thanks to this transaction, Bouygues becomes a world leader in the
promising multi-technical services market which is at the heart of the
environmental, industrial and digital transitions. More information.


APRIL 2023

The legal entities Axima SA/NV and Axima Refrigeration SA/NV merge with Fabricom
SA/NV. The objective is to simplify the legal structure of Equans BeLux and to
optimise the efficiency of the organisation.
