Groupe Chavigny

What Groupe Chavigny does

Groupe Chavigny is a privately held, family-controlled French building materials and construction services group founded in 1896 in Thoré-la-Rochette, headquartered in Saint-Ouen near Vendôme (Loir-et-Cher). Operating across 8 synergistic business divisions — construction materials distribution, ready-mix concrete, industrial prefabrication, public works, quarrying, transport and logistics, recycling, and energy products — the group runs 80+ sites across 8 departments in and around Centre-Val de Loire, employing 788-850 collaborators and reporting €220M in annual revenue. Customer segments split between building-trade professionals (artisans, contractors, roofers, industrial clients), local governments and public-works contractors, and individual consumers served via Maison Passion showrooms and the Bleu Rouge sanitary/heating network. Groupe Chavigny is currently led by fourth-generation siblings Anne and Pascal Chavigny.

Vertically, the group extracts aggregates through Les Calcaires Dunois and feeds them into its own ready-mix concrete operations (Chavigny Béton and Granudem Béton, 13+ batching plants) and prefabrication factories (Chavigny Industrie, including Rasori for blocks/hourdis and Pic Menuiserie for PVC/aluminum joinery, with custom manufacturing capability up to 25 tonnes). Distribution reaches customers through 30+ Chavigny Distribution branches and Maison Passion retail showrooms; ancillary services include public-works contracting, transport/logistics (including Loc&You vehicle rental), Cap Recyclage waste valorization with a Solid Recovered Fuels production line installed in 2021, and Chavigny Énergie fuel distribution. Quality certifications include NF EN 206-1 with on-site CERIB laboratories. Channel and digital assets comprise the corporate site, the MyBleuRouge.fr B2B ordering platform, a Digital Showroom 3D design tool, and a drone-based 3D measurement partnership (Web2vi & Parrot) for roofing contractors.

Revenue mechanics are predominantly transactional and quote-based across B2B and B2C lines: unit-priced distribution and showroom sales for retail, contract-based supply for trade professionals and local governments, custom-manufacturing pricing for prefabricated elements, and transaction-fee revenue for ready-mix concrete, transport, recycling, and energy deliveries. The group has executed continuous inorganic growth (CMA 1989, Thoreau 2008, Colomat 2013, Rasori 2017, Alexis Robert 2022, Transports JUNG 2023, Transports Girard and 2 UniBéton plants 2024, plus the 2022 merger forming Chavigny Distribution SAS), with a 2025 minority stake in ETS Maurice (Barbat Recyclage) extending the recycling footprint. The company remains independent, family-owned, debt-disclosure-absent, and has not raised external funding.
