What Martin Belaysoud does

Martin Belaysoud (legal entity MARTIN BELAYSOUD EXPANSION, SAS) is a French family-owned professional distribution group founded circa 1825 and headquartered in Bourg-en-Bresse, France. The Group operates eight specialized retail banners — Téréva (HVAC, plumbing, sanitation, electricity, tools), NED (residential photovoltaic), Solipac (heating, cooling, ventilation, renewable energy), Mabéo Industries (industrial PPE, hydraulics, pneumatics, automation), Fluides Service Technologies and Fluides Service Distribution (industrial fluid management for Oil & Gas, aerospace), Crossroad Aciers (steel trading), and Grandbains (bathroom furnishings) — serving building and industry professionals through a combined physical-agency and e-commerce channel architecture. The Group employs 1,001-5,000 staff, operates numerous branches and major logistics platforms (Pusignan, Brive-la-Gaillarde, Montagnat, Ris-Orangis, with Louverné opening 2025), and runs an internalized truck fleet including electric vehicles.

Revenue is generated predominantly through B2B hardware sales of professional equipment and supplies, priced via quote-based / negotiated B2B terms rather than public list pricing. Distribution is multi-channel: field sales via agency networks, e-commerce platforms per banner, internalized logistics with next-day delivery ambitions, and Grandbains showrooms for retail/consumer bathroom customers. The Group is pursuing a buy-and-build strategy (acquisitions of CCLIM and Aprosios Energie in 2024, partial integration of SOMATICO in 2025), private-label expansion (ILEVA PPE brand launched September 2024), and proprietary RSE supplier evaluation (MABÉCO, EcoVadis Gold 82/100). Geographic reach is currently France-only (with Fluides Service Distribution's international clients in industrial sectors as a partial exception). The Group maintains a stable family-owned capital structure with no disclosed external institutional investor backing.
