What DIRICKX Group does

DIRICKX Group is a privately held French industrial manufacturer specialising in perimeter protection products for sites, founded in 1921 and headquartered in Congrier, Mayenne. The company's product portfolio spans rigid panel fencing, roll fencing (welded mesh and chainlink), privacy fencing systems, railings and guardrails, industrial and residential gates, lifting barriers, motorised turnstiles and high-security solutions such as ATLAS anti-intrusion panels, SPEEDIX rapid gates and anti-ram crash barriers. Manufacturing is anchored on a proprietary high-adhesion plastification coating process and offers ISO 9001 (2015) certified quality, ISO 12944-conformant corrosion testing and a differentiated Protect+ finish for C4/C5 corrosive environments backed by a 10-year anti-corrosion warranty.

DIRICKX monetises primarily through hardware sales of standardised fencing, gates and access-control products, with revenue also generated from tailor-made custom manufacturing, premium finish upgrades (matt and textured +10%), RAL colour tinting charges (€300–€500 net), installation accessories and a complete services offering spanning design, production, technical support, maintenance and after-sales. The company operates an ISO 9001-certified industrial base in France and wholly-owned manufacturing or distribution subsidiaries in Italy (DIRICKX Italia), Hungary (DIRICKX Kerités, established 1998) and the Czech Republic (DIRICKX Bohemia, established 1994), supplemented by DIRICKX Systems which exports physical-barrier products for military, civil-protection and flood-control applications worldwide.

The go-to-market combines a B2B channel-partner model (installers, landscapers, distributors, retailers) with field-sales direct engagement for projects, tenders and large accounts, alongside a direct-to-consumer surface on dirickx.com for homeowners. DIRICKX segments its customer base across private individuals, installers, distributors and retailers, specifiers (architects and design offices), businesses and enterprises, and public authorities and institutions, serving residential, industrial and logistics, sports facilities, commercial, agricultural and government end-markets.
