The availability
of high quality energy

SOCOMEC
Group An independent manufacturer
The benefit of a specialist
Created in 1922, SOCOMEC is
an industrial group with
a workforce of 2700 people.
Our vocation: the control and
protection of your low voltage
electrical networks.
Our independence allows us
to have long-term vision and
complete control of any decisions
affecting our development.
Two specialist industrial Divisions
Focusing on target customers and applications,
our organisation is split into two separate
manufacturing Divisions: SOCOMEC
SCP, expert in protection and switching
solutions and SOCOMEC UPS, the secure
power supply specialists.
A worldwide presence
With a strong international presence, including
bases in more than 70 countries, 23 of which
are subsidiaries, the SOCOMEC group is a
major player in the global low voltage power
distribution market.
A flexible manufacturing structure
Built on two European centres of excellence
(France and Italy), the Group benefits from
competitive production sites (Tunisia) and
those located in the major emerging markets
(India and China). A new European distribution
centre, located in France, is indicative of our
determination to control its logistics chain
so as to respond to the need for a reduced
lead-time.

Direct contact
Our specialists work directly with customers.
Their attentiveness and advice actively
contribute to an optimised definition
of requirements and to ensure that all
engagements undertaken are fulfilled.
Their technical knowledge, and ability to adapt
and to get involved give the SOCOMEC
Group its distinctive approach and are the
power behind its efficiency.
Continuing innovation
By reinvesting more than 10 % of its sales
in R&D, SOCOMEC is providing the means
behind its ambition: to always be at the cuttingedge
of technology. This drive to be innovative
has nothing to do with luck. It impacts on the
company’s continuing profitability and its ability
to stand apart from other market players, as
well as meeting our customers’ expectations
and constraints.
Human values
SOCOMEC is a company open to all cultures
and fosters a respectful approach to individuals.
It also encourages initiative and commitment
from personnel by favouring “contract
based” working relationships.
Durable and stable development
As part of its determination to have lasting and
stable development the SOCOMEC Group
subscribes to the “Global Compact”, the UN
international agreement that covers the social
and environmental impacts of globalisation. As
firm believers in corporate social responsibility
we are determined to maintain jobs in our
historic European production sites. As jobcreators
in emerging countries we are actively
contributing to our social and economic development
in full respect of human and labour
rights and the environment.

2010 financial results:
recovery after the crisis
After a year of economic crisis that the
Socomec Group withstood quite well, the
level of business activity in 2010 saw an
upturn of 23 % to reach 383 M€. In erasing
the drop of 5.8 % in turnover that occurred
in 2009, the year 2010 represents a healthy
increase of 16.3 % compared to 2008.
The company’s policy of internationalisation
remains unchanged. The Asian countries,
especially China and India, have been the
main incubator for growth. Europe too has
been making progress, particularly in Italy
(where the new Solar division was launched
in 2009, with turnover of 13.5 M€) and
Romania, thanks to the acquisition of a local
distributor.
With the integration of Vertelis, one of
France’s leading energy management web
portals, Socomec is now in the position to
propose one of the most accomplished and
high-performance offers on the emerging
energy efficiency market, providing solutions
from the energy sensor to the web portal.
Encouraging results
Operating profit (EBIT) has benefitted from
the upturn to reach 9.7 % compared to 8.6 %
in 2009. The rises in the cost of raw materials
and the scarcity of components, which have
been amplified by the extent of the recovery,
have of course had consequences for profit
margins. Despite the important resources
allocated to the sales force and R&D,
expenditure remains tightly under control.
Net profit therefore is posted at 6 % of
turnover.
Heading for 2020
The Socomec Group was able finally to
come through the crisis relatively unscathed.
The road map has been traced: to reach a
billion euros in turnover by 2020 ! Backed by
its two historic divisions, SCP (Solutions for
Control & Power) and UPS (Uninterruptible
Power Supplies), the company intends to
take advantage of the impetus provided
by its new markets in the PV and Energy
Efficiency markets to triple its turnover over
the next 10 years.
The perspectives for 2011 are part of this
impetus. Despite an expected slowing down
in world growth, the company’s sales should
increase by 13.6 %. The Solar division,
launched in 2009, is expected to confirm the
promise shown by the performance given in
2010. The new Energy Efficiency speciality
will for the moment have only a marginal
impact on the figures but will be making its
presence felt in the commercial networks.
Sound capital structure
Socomec continues the consolidation of its
capital structure. The acquisition of Vertelis
has not impeded this trend, and the minimal
debt ratio has enabled the company to ride
out the crisis and to finance recovery. In
addition, the company’s healthy financial
position offers the means to finance corporate
ambitions over the next ten years.
Responsible growth
The priority given by Socomec to innovation,
the control over its international growth
and its approach to responsible economic
development have been recognized by
winning the 2011 Family-owned and Sole
Proprietor Business trophy awarded by the
French association of medium-sized and
family-owned businesses (ASMEP-ETI). An
award that recognizes significant economic
success, but also concrete actions in the fields
of social and environmental responsibility.

SOCOMEC
UPS Our commitment to Absolute Green
For maximum availability and true cost savings
Recent technology developments
have seen the emergence of loads
which are able to operate despite of
very minor power interruptions.
As a result, there is a growing opinion
supporting the use of true on-line UPS
systems in line-interactive or even
off-line mode, without exploiting their
maximum level of protection (on-line
mode) pushed by the fact that the first
two have less energy consumption
compared to true on-line.
In fact, even in countries with the best
power quality, high-quality power
supplies are frequently compromised

by consumer loads within the system
itself, such as harmonics, flicker,
frequency variations, power cuts and
surges. It is important to remember
that the primary aim of mission-critical
services is to ensure business
continuity, which is only possible if the
UPS operates in true on-line mode.
The essential questions are: is it
affordable to compromise your
business continuity protection, only
thinking on money saving (off-line
mode)? and, does it make sense
to choose the leading protection
technology (on-line) if you don’t
Availability
• The system is supplied with top-quality
electrical power, minimising the risk of
downtime
• Protection is ensured by the use of on-line
double conversion UPS, the most reliable
technology on the market
• The system is fully safeguarded against blackouts
and any disturbance caused by the
mains power supply and by distorting loads

We consider that true on-line
technology is the only one which is
able to provide the maximum availability
with a total protection against surges,
transients and electrical impurities to
and from the power supply.
Socomec UPS is able to ensure true
cost saving without compromise: our
UPS range have been independently
certified to have the highest efficiency
performance on the market, for
true on-line double conversion
technology, up to 96%, keeping your
business totally protected.
Saving
• UPS energy costs cut by up to 40%
• The saving is guaranteed by the highest
available efficiency performance for online
double conversion UPS on the market,
certified up to 96%
• Optimising the power supply to the system
makes it possible to reduce the use of nonrecyclable
materials and cut CO2 emissions
