Home > A new chapter for IESA: Serge Colombet retires

After several years at the helm of IESA Automation, Serge Colombet is preparing to begin a new chapter: retirement.
To mark this important milestone in the company’s history, IESA and GCC employees, clients, partners and suppliers gathered at the Jardins de Saint-Germain in Vienne for a cocktail reception held in his honour.
It was a warm and emotional occasion, providing an opportunity to look back on the years shared together, the projects delivered and the many developments that have shaped IESA’s growth.
Over the years, Serge Colombet has supported the growth and development of IESA in an industrial environment undergoing constant change.
Automation, electrical engineering, supervision, industrial IT and process simulation: the company’s expertise has continued to expand to meet the requirements of increasingly complex industrial projects, both in France and internationally.
This development is built on strong technical expertise, but also on the ability of our teams to work together, share knowledge and adapt to the latest industrial challenges.
Serge Colombet’s retirement was also an opportunity to highlight an essential part of any company’s journey: behind technical projects, installations and innovations, there is first and foremost a shared human experience.
Years spent within a company are shaped by completed projects, challenges overcome, shared successes, as well as the encounters and anecdotes that gradually become part of its history.
The cocktail reception at the Jardins de Saint-Germain brought together many of those who have shared part of Serge Colombet’s journey: employees, clients, partners and suppliers.
It was a moment of exchange and togetherness that also reflected the values at the heart of IESA: expertise, commitment, trust and strong human relationships.
In highly technical fields such as industrial automation, electrical engineering, supervision and industrial IT, sharing expertise and experience is a key challenge.
It helps preserve the know-how developed through years of projects while supporting the adoption of new technologies, new methods and new generations of employees.
This culture of knowledge sharing directly contributes to IESA’s ability to deliver control and automation solutions for complex industrial environments and to support its clients as their production systems evolve.
Serge Colombet’s retirement therefore marks the end of one chapter, but also the beginning of a new stage in IESA’s history.
The entire IESA team would like to warmly thank Serge Colombet for his many years of commitment, trust and knowledge sharing with our teams and the company.
We wish him a wonderful retirement, full of new projects, discoveries and challenges…
… Although this time, perhaps with a little less automation, supervision and fewer schedules to manage!
While one chapter is coming to an end, IESA’s story continues.
The company will continue to develop with the same ambition: to put the expertise of its teams at the service of its clients’ industrial projects, continue innovating and take on new technical challenges.
A new stage is beginning, supported by the expertise built up over the years and by the women and men who bring IESA to life every day.
