Maxime Claval and his two partners come from the world of start-ups, from the digital world. To launch Enercool, it was necessary to rely on the know-how of an industrialist. “Precisely we co-developed it. I am a thermal engineer on the energy saving and building understanding part. We teamed up with a paint manufacturer who has been able to make paint for 40 – 50 years and we have co-developed the paint together to establish a new paint formula”, explains Maxime Claval.
The manufacturer manufactures, and the Enercool team sells, in particular to individuals who want to see the temperature of their home drop or their air conditioning bill drop by 30% This company sells mEven tiles or slates and Enercool provides colored paints. The three partners already live from their business. They are not alone in the niche, they have competition. The young company is already aiming abroad to develop. Even if only in France, the market is enormous.
