History

Tibbloc was founded in 2007 by Serge Brunerie and Gilles Bertrand. Mickaël Hamon joined them in 2013.[4]

In July 2020, investment firm Ciclad acquired 75% of the company.[5] The founders remained as minority shareholders.[6] At that time, the company had around 70 employees and generated €19 million in revenue.[7][8] In 2021, Tibbloc reached €24 million in revenue.

In 2023, the company acquired EnergyMode, an Austrian company specializing in mobile boiler rentals.[9] The following year (2024), Tibbloc acquired Linkair, a French provider of temporary air solutions, including dehumidification and industrial air conditioning.[10]

In December 2024, Gimv, a European investment firm listed in Brussels, acquired a majority stake in Tibbloc.[11][12][13] The founders and management team, including Chairman, Éric Merilhou, and CEO, Yann Dauce, retained ownership stakes.[14][15]

As of 2024, Tibbloc employs 130 people and generates €40 million in annual revenue.
