Special competency in running manufacturing workshops
In addition to providing and managing multitechnology and multiservice services in sensitive sites, GEPSA has also developed specific competence in the management of production workshops for people removed from employment.
Under the remit of the Delegated Management contracts entrusted to GEPSA by the penitentiary administration, the company offers detainees the opportunity to carry out professional activities within the detention centre. Every day, GEPSA’s foremen manage about 2,000 operators in 27 workshops, working for companies from every part of France, under industrial outsourcing relationships.

- Improvement of living conditions : having income with which to compensate victims or improve one’s living conditions in detention

- Self-esteem : recovering everyday discipline, experiencing a stimulating and individualized work environment, actively participating in a group project

COMPANY
A outsourcing solution
- Responsiveness : coping with a peak workload or a new market
- Economy : using a qualified and supervised cost-controlled workforce, freeing up production and storage space
- Social Responsibility : fostering integration into the job market of people removed from employment, having products made in France
This tripartite relationship benefits all those involved
To bring together these two worlds, each with their own and sometimes very different objectives, GEPSA relies on a team of about one hundred people, including :
The rigorous standards of excellence applied by GEPSA in its multi-technological and multi-service operations apply equally to the workshops it runs: all the activities carried out there are subject to an ISO 9001-certified process: 2008 and ISO 14001: 2008.
Regarding the transfer of these two standards to their 2015 version, the company was audited in spring 2018 and the official certification is currently being processed.
Over its 30 years of experience, GEPSA has become a leader in responsible outsourcing, proving its effectiveness as an intermediary between companies concerned about their societal impact and workers excluded from employment.
