SAS SRP-Méditerranée is a company that wishes to respond to the challenges of our time.

Economic constraints like climate change are not inevitable.

An entrepreneur in the renovation of swimming pool coatings and a committed citizen, Gilles Portaz has joined forces with his son, Célian, a student in international management at the University of Ottawa in Canada, in order to connect generations and promote the transmission of cultural values that are sorely lacking today in an economy that has become almost exclusively focused on finance.

Gilles Portaz grew up in the middle of a family olive grove, in an arid land, Provence, in the village of Mons.

He has been familiar with the hydrological challenges of this region since childhood and has long been interested in the problems of climate change and the scarcity of natural resources.

Aware that tourism is an essential branch of the local economy, he wanted to initiate a process of transition with the scarcity of resources, using all the possibilities at our disposal to reconcile environmental protection and the pursuit of responsible tourism.

SRP-Mediterranean is developing the distribution of Chukum for swimming pools, as well as for the interiors and exteriors of houses.

In Mons, Gilles Portaz welcomes two market gardeners who produce fruit and vegetables and raise a hundred chickens. In collaboration with them, he is setting up an aquaponic farm experiment. These actions complement his activity in the building where he favors the use of natural materials.
