Looking back to the beginning

“Ambition is the triumph of dream over certainty” Robert Brisebois
Our ever-changing world is one of increasingly complex and multifaceted markets, as well as rampant globalization. Due to the resulting competition (with varying and often unruly behaviour) and the increasing need for technical compliance, the INEXENCE team are unwavering in their motivation to constantly meet the challenges of the future, summed up in the following concept

We are building the future !

Creation of the Company

The company LOPEZ was founded at the foot of the Pyrenees mountains, and would later become LTP - Gabions +, with a very clear vocation: the construction of large water supply networks and masonry work up in the mountains.

Expansion

This was followed by a very long period of strong expansion, with the completion of major civil engineering works on the Neste Canal and the development of ski resorts.

The 2000s

Following the acquisition of Gabions + within the Groupe MALET, company director Thierry Renard developed the company across Mainland France, with projects related to Civil Engineering, Gabions, Plant Engineering and Landscaping activities.

Reunion Island’s Coastal Road

After a successful project in Lobito, Angola, LTP Gabions + started work on the world’s largest pre-filled gabion project for Reunion Island’s ‘Route du Littoral’ (Coastal Road), and set up its subsidiary company LTP Océan Indien (LTPOI), specialised in reinforcement and support works based on gabion solutions.

LTP Gabions + and LTPOI were bought by Thierry Renard for the Groupe MALET - Spie Batignolles, with Etienne CAUBET (Gabions Expert) and Jean-Michel L'Homme (Administrative and Financial Director) as Partners.

An integrated engineering consultancy

Thierry Renard, President of SAS LTP, sought to strengthen innovation and generate new momentum for the independent SME LTP Gabions +, initiating an export strategy for West Africa, resulting in contracts in Mayotte.

INEXENCE Group

The following companies were bought in Reunion Island: EVE Sustainable Development, and SCEA Domaine de L'Hermitage. The INEXENCE Group was thus created, a new and innovative organisation bringing together all of the group’s different companies with complementary areas of expertise, seeking to provide customers with a fully comprehensive offer.

INEXENCE Group

INEXENCE Réalisation - Africa was founded in Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire) with the aim of expanding the Group's presence in the WAMU region (West African Monetary Union). Run by Laurent Viallon, another activity started in Reunion: the supply and installation of fences and access controls, together with LIPPI, our French industrial partner in Abidjan.

INEXENCE Group

All business activities in Mainland France were sold.

INEXENCE Réalisation - Indian Ocean undertook the vast Gabion project for protecting the dikes of Reunion Island’s New Coastal Road, and consolidated its business activity in Mayotte via various tenders for structural reinforcement.

At the same time, the group opened a LIPPI showroom (fences and gates) in Reunion Island and launched the IXKS range (different types of Gabion).

INEXENCE Réalisation - Africa benefitted from a new operational department, based in Abidjan.
