Our history
The activity started with electronics and instrumentation projects. The first customers trusted us and laid the foundations of our expertise.
At the beginning, a family team united by the electronics passion. In our workshop, we designed the first devices with the same leitmotiv: the quality, the service and the innovation close to the field.

Our quality management is ISO 9001 certified. The processus has been formalised and the continuous improvement began the common thread in order to serve our customer satisfaction.
It was an heart decision but also a next step. The Turfamily, which founded the society, withdraw step by step and choose a Worker cooperative (SCOP) in order to let Carmelec to its daily maker. The capital had progressively been opened up to the team, the leadership become shared (1 person = 1 voice) and the company spirit has continued : proximity, high standards and usefulness. This handover prepared the company future in the hands of this who make it.
We started a CSR approach: eco-design, responsible procurement, carbon footprint reduction and concrete local actions.
It was supposed to need 7 years, finally 5 years were enough. Helped with good economical results, the team completed the takeover sooner than expected. Now Carmelec belongs to his employees at 100%.
SCOP (worker cooperative)
A new area as a SCOP from 2017
in 2017, Carmelec toke a crucial step as becoming a SCOP (worker cooperative). This change highlights the company engagement to democracy, solidarity and collective continuity values.
Power and profits share
In a SCOP, the employees must own at least 51% of the share capital and 65% of the suffrages. It allows them to actively participate to important decisions and to fairly share the profits.
Democratic management
The strategical decision, as director election and profits sharing, are taken in a general meeting and follows the principle : "1 employee = 1 suffrage", it guarantees a collective management.
A durable and anchored in the territory model
The employees are sharing their skills to insure the company sustainability. The profits are shared in three parts : for the company, for the employees and for the associates. Even if a SCOP can intertanionaly develop its activity, its decision center is still anchored to its original territory, enhancing its local role. More than 2 700 commpanies in France adopt this model.
