offering in France

Malakoff, July 23rd, 2021 - SPIE, the independent European leader in
multi-technical services in the areas of energy and communications, announces

Established in 1999 and based in Boulogne-Billancourt in France, Infidis is

business synergy opportunities. The company employs 63 people and generated
revenue of around EUR70 million in 2020.

Olivier Domergue, Managing Director of SPIE France, commented: "We are very
pleased to strengthen our competencies in the field of data center
infrastructures integration thanks to the expertise of Infidis' employees.
Together, Infidis and SPIE now constitute a major player in data center
infrastructures, particularly in hyper-converged ones in France and is able to
offer its customers comprehensive integration and service solutions for data
centers."

Xavier Daubignard, Managing Director of SPIE ICS, added: "Infidis is a great
addition to our activities. Infidis' know-how, sector expertise, as well as its
technology partnerships reinforce SPIE ICS' data center offering in France. We
want to bring this expertise to our customers and offer Infidis' customers
complementary services, particularly for network and security infrastructures
as well as for managed services."

Hervé Abraham, CEO and Founder of Infidis, commented: "We are delighted to
join SPIE, and believe that the combined expertise of SPIE ICS and Infidis will
