14/10/2009 - GDF SUEZ is creating the energy services leader in Italy

GDF SUEZ is creating the energy services leader in Italy by joining its companies Cofathec Servizi and Elyo Italia. With this operation, the Group is strengthening its leadership, increasing its visibility and encouraging its growth on the flourishing markets of energy and environmental efficiency in the country.

This union will give rise to a new entity, a leader in its market with a turnover  of €1.1 billion. It will count about 2,600 staff members distributed around the country through a network of 50 agencies. 

This new company is adopting the GDF SUEZ energy services brand COFELY, already deployed in a number of European countries, particularly in France, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Spain, Switzerland and the Netherlands.

More than half of the turnover of the GDF SUEZ Energy Services business line, which represented €14 billion in 2008, will be realised in Europe under the COFELY brand, and this with 35,000 staff members in more than 15 countries

“COFELY is the undisputed leader for energy services in Europe with a strong position in its fields of expertise. This new brand reinforces our capacity to offer a unique combination of know-how in energy and environmental performance, production and distribution of local and renewable energies, as well as the integration of services”, explains Gérard Mestrallet, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of GDF SUEZ.
