About Us

IMES was incorporated in 2009 as IMES Electricité. Loic DERRIEN is the founder of IMES.

At its inception, IMES’ primary focus was the provision of skilled technical services for high voltage infrastructure construction projects. Supported by a team of engineers with more than 100 years of combined experience, IMES accumulated achievements in HVDC projects. The team gained recognition with Clients thanks to their in-depth knowledge of the HVDC technology and the quality of their services.

IMES’ approach also proved to be successful in their bid to grow in the renewable energy market. Indeed, IMES was soon involved in the engineering and the construction of the electrical balance of plant for wind farms and solar farms.

Since 2014, IMES’ broad range of competences has allowed it to deliver services across the entire lifecycle of infrastructure projects, from tendering to commissioning. IMES has grown their capabilities and its network of partners to fully support their Clients: EPC main contractors, grid utilities and power producers, global engineering & construction companies, HV electrical system integrators, power solution companies and renewable energy developers.

In 2016, IMES expanded its organisation to several countries to adjust to the ever-increasing demand to be close to Clients’ project sites. IMES Management decided to create subsidiaries in order to get local offices and resources, they wanted to improve efficiency and facilitate communication between the end-Client, the main contractor and IMES project teams. That proximity also gave IMES the opportunity to enter into maintenance services, supporting end-Clients beyond commissioning.

In 2017, IMES opened a technical training centre near Paris dedicated, in the first phase, to its own personnel. The training centre will be available for Clients’ training later on in 2017.

2017 also marks the year that IMES Electricité changed its name to IMES. The change better reflects the actual corporate structure and vision as well as simplifying the communication with its Clients, Partners, Suppliers and Subsidiaries in Europe and Asia.

The new name will benefit the last IMES expansion in South Korea where IMES opened a branch in Seoul.

The new corporate organisation meets our ambition to deliver EPC contracts and keep serving our historical Clients. Our business is now articulated around our Engineering Department and our Operations & Project Delivery Department. The new Senior Management Team is now in place to drive our business to reach new heights in 2017 and further.

Over the years, IMES has proudly paved the road to its future. Today, IMES is positioned to provide a broad range of integrated solutions and services to our key markets: HVDC, GRID and POWER.

IMES mission is to provide exceptional value to our Clients by delivering best in class engineering solutions and high standard services whilst maintaining a safe and rewarding work environment to our Employees, Partners and Suppliers.
