What Comap Group does

Comap Group (legal entity Comap S.A.) is a France-based designer and manufacturer of hydronic flow control solutions for residential, collective, and commercial buildings. Founded in 1921 and headquartered in Villeurbanne (Lyon), the company operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary within Aalberts N.V.'s hydronic flow control business unit, alongside Flamco. Its product portfolio spans the full source-to-emitter chain: connection systems (multi-layer, PEX/PERT, copper fittings, crimping equipment), surface heating and cooling systems (including the Biofloor 9100 modular manifold and underfloor heating solutions), balancing and control valves, emitter and comfort control products (thermostatic heads and valves), and the Comap Smart Home remote heating control line. Notable proprietary technology includes the Visu-Control® visual verification system used in MultiSkin multilayer fittings, which delivers up to 15% hydraulic performance improvement, and Smart Home controls claimed to reduce energy consumption by up to 20%.

The company sells primarily through a B2B two-step channel: wholesalers/distributors serving installers, with parallel direct catalog ordering via its own website and an ecosystem of technical support, training, and BIM library services aimed at design engineers. Geographic reach spans Europe (France, Germany, UK, Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Czechia, Poland, Luxembourg), Asia-Pacific (China), North America (USA), and Latin America (Brazil). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Comap is REACH-compliant and reports no public revenue figures; it is consolidated into its Dutch parent Aalberts N.V. (Euronext Amsterdam). In 2024 Aalberts expanded Comap's portfolio through the acquisition of UWS Technologie GmbH and Heat-Power 24 GmbH in Germany, reinforcing the eco-friendly hydronic building systems segment.

Revenue mechanics are anchored in hardware unit sales across five core categories — Connection Systems, Surface Heating & Cooling, Balancing and Control, Emitter and Comfort Control, and Sanitary & Building Equipment — supplemented by training, technical documentation, and BIM specification services. The customer base is fragmented across building-industry professionals (installers, wholesalers, specifier engineers) and end-use segments (individual housing, collective housing, commercial buildings), with no disclosed enterprise anchor customers, implying volume-driven rather than contract-driven revenue mix.

Core offering

Comap Group designs, manufactures, and distributes hydronic flow control solutions for heating and cooling in buildings. Its product portfolio covers the complete thermal chain from energy sources (boilers, heat pumps, solar panels) to emitters (radiators, underfloor heating), organized into five main categories: Connection Systems, Surface Heating & Cooling, Balancing and Control, Emitter and Comfort Control, and Sanitary & Building Equipment. Products are sold through wholesale networks and direct catalog sales to installers, wholesalers, and engineers in the building industry.

Product overview

Comap Group offers a comprehensive portfolio of hydronic flow control solutions for buildings, organized into five main product categories: Connection Systems (multilayer, PEX/PERT, gas systems, manifolds, fittings, crimping equipment), Surface Heating & Cooling (underfloor systems, Biofloor 9100 manifolds, pipes, control systems), Balancing and Control (flowmeters, circuit control valves, differential pressure regulators), Emitter and Comfort Control (thermostatic heads/valves, radiator distributors, Smart Home solutions), and Sanitary & Building Equipment. The company provides complete solutions from energy source to emitter, including the MultiSkin range with proprietary Visu-Control technology for verification of fitting connections. Comap Smart Home enables remote heating control with claimed energy savings up to 20%. The company operates as part of Aalberts hydronic flow control business unit alongside Flamco.
