SAFIR

What SAFIR does

SAFIR is a French manufacturer of custom-made automatic doors and gates, founded in 1988 and headquartered in Buchelay (Yvelines), France. The company operates as a brand and operating subsidiary of Groupe ACCÉDIA (parent: ACCÉDIA INTERNATIONAL, a French SAS with €25,500,000 in share capital) and manufactures across two sites: Buchelay (collective doors, 4,400 m² of production space, inaugurated June 2024) and Cuvilly (industrial doors under the SAFIR Industrie brand). Its product portfolio serves three segments: Collective (tilting doors S424 and S224, accordion doors W724, and service doors for apartment buildings and co-ownerships), Industrial (rapid flexible doors PLANÉVITE and PLANÉZIP including the March 2026 PV520 large-height variant, rolling rapid doors PE100/PE100+, sectional industrial doors Isotec), and Residential (custom garage doors for individual homeowners). All products are manufactured to order in France, CE certified via CSTB, and built around proprietary electronic control cards jointly developed with sister-group companies CERA and ETME Electronics, paired with TORNADO motorizations. Connected-door capabilities are delivered through a partnership with Linkview (S424 Linkview, launched June 2023).

The business model combines direct sales with two-sided distribution. A 16-person in-house commercial team with over 30 years of expertise manages regional relationships across France, targeting professional installers, specifiers (architects, engineering firms), and end-customers. Quotes are individually configured rather than list-priced, with quote and spare-parts e-commerce enabled through the monportailaccedia.net customer portal and the Batitrade-based industrial-door configurator. Revenue derives primarily from one-time sales of custom-manufactured doors complemented by a recurring spare-parts and after-sales service stream, supported by 24-hour quote response and 24–48 hour spare-parts delivery commitments. Digital tools (SAFIR PROG mobile application launched September 2024, spare-parts e-commerce site developed with Visiativ, Batitrade configurators launched January 2026) sit on top of the manufacturing operation and serve as customer-engagement and channel-efficiency layers rather than AI-driven services.
