About us

Grupo Dominguis Energy Services (GDES) is a family-owned group of companies with an international scope, with more than 95 years of experience in providing industrial services for the energy sector. Today, it is a benchmark in services supporting operations, maintenance and decommissioning, surface treatment, circular economy and logistics, energy efficiency, and digital transformation for sectors as diverse as nuclear, wind, solar photovoltaic, metallurgical, among many others.

The Group began its operations in 1932, as Pinturas J. Dominguis, dedicated to the application of coatings in residential and industrial construction. In 1975, and as GRUPO DOMINGUIS, it entered the nuclear sector, carrying out coating application services during the construction of the Almaraz and Cofrentes nuclear power plants.

Throughout its history, GD Energy Services has undergone an intensive service diversification process that has positioned the Group today as one of the companies with the strongest growth potential in the energy sector. GDES currently has a workforce of more than 1,300 professionals worldwide. A highly qualified, customer-oriented team that delivers high value-added solutions, adapting to the specific needs of each project.

It currently operates in 8 countries: Spain, France, Italy, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Panama, Mexico, and the United States. GDES stands out for havingr more than 45 years of experience in the nuclear sector, which is its main area of activity. GDES has not only participated in the construction of the main Spanish Nuclear Power Plants in the late 1970s, but also in their maintenance and decommissioning, taking part in the complete lifecycle of the plants. It is in this field, the decommissioning, where GDES is a leading reference at the European level, being a participating company in the execution of various projects not only in Spain but also in Italy, Sweden, France, and the United Kingdom.

We were born as a family business with a long-term vision, and today we are an international group of specialized services that supports its clients in the most demanding industrial and energy challenges.
