Gantois Industries SAS

What Gantois Industries SAS does

Gantois Industries SAS is a French industrial manufacturer specializing in woven and perforated metal solutions, operating as a wholly-owned SASU subsidiary of the diversified industrial group Groupe Drouault. Founded in 1894 (with company history also citing 1896), the company is headquartered in Saint-Dié-des-Vosges, France, and employs between 501 and 1,000 people. It serves two principal market segments: Architecture & Building (perforated cladding, facades, decorative panels, metal stair systems, guardrails, and fencing) and Industrial solutions (woven metal meshes, perforated sheets, and filtration/separation products for high-specification applications in aerospace, defense, electronics, and environmental industries).

The company's core technology rests on 130 years of accumulated expertise in metal weaving and perforation, producing a portfolio that includes perforated sheets, woven metal meshes, and proprietary branded product lines such as Armédia (architectural cladding), Perfolisse (perforated coils), CHP, Rigidrain (drainage/industrial flooring mesh), and Rythmic. Products span both standard stock items and configurable solutions, with technical documentation and 2026 catalog editions actively maintained.

Gantois operates a dual go-to-market combining a multi-language e-commerce platform (French, English, German, Spanish) for direct online sales of stock and configurable products, with traditional phone-based direct sales for custom enterprise orders. The company is currently executing a 'Make in India, for India' strategy, inaugurating its first weaving manufacturing facility in Sanand, Gujarat, India on June 3, 2026, under the wholly-owned subsidiary Gantois Industries India, targeting displacement of Chinese suppliers in high-specification Indian sectors. Registered share capital is €4,000,000 and the Director of Communication is Franck Drouault, indicating family involvement consistent with the parent group's privately-held structure.
