Electrification work in the main city square of Arras
In 1926, Louis Santerne opened a small electrician's shop in Arras. The business did not truly play a significant role until 1949, under the leadership of the founder's son. During the post-war boom, Santerne's growth was driven by railway contracts, the reconstruction of water towers and demand for new power lines from electrical utility EDF. Santerne, specialised in the installation of electrical equipment in France, became part of SGE in 1996. The company is currently a subsidiary of GTIE.
