From family owned company Fels …
In 1948, Eugène FELS founded the company FELS in Illkirch-Graffenstaden, south of Strasbourg. The activity revolves around electrical contactors. In 2008, FELS alone achieved a turnover of €9 million.
Representing the 3rd generation, Bruno RUSSO took over the family business in 2007 and made it grow. With two company acquisitions in 2007 and 2013, FELS is taking on a new dimension to keep up with the evolution of its clients, giants of electricity, aeronautics and railway.
… to the ESARIS INDUSTRIES group
In 2016, the FELS, SAUMAC and THIVEND Industrie group was renamed ESARIS INDUSTRIES.
With two new acquisitions of companies in 2018 and 2022 and a 50% stake in an American company, the group now has 525 employees and a turnover of €60 million.
Its increasingly integrated product offering is complemented by services covering the entire product life cycle, from development to on-site assembly and cabling to recycling.
