Equans France states that its roots go back to the first industrial revolution and that visionary entrepreneurs have been transforming society for more than 150 years. In 1861, the company Rineau was created in Vendée, offering heating, roofing and plumbing services; Firmin Rineau is described as founder. In 1876, Goetz and Quiri merged: the Goetz family had made its fortune in wood by producing barrels for brewers, while Jean Quiri developed the cold sector by producing ice blocks used in the first household refrigerators; their association created Quiri & Cie, which expanded internationally. In 1891, the Grands Travaux de Marseille (GTM) were created.
