Altinnova

What Altinnova does

Altinnova is a French designer-manufacturer of cycling infrastructure solutions, founded in 2003 and headquartered in Bonson in the Loire department. The company designs, manufactures, installs, and operates equipment for cycling facilities, including bicycle shelters (open and secured individual/collective), parking racks, double-tier rack systems, and service stations for inflation, repair, and e-bike charging. All products are sold under the proprietary ALTAO® brand and produced in-house at a state-of-the-art sheet metal manufacturing facility that has been operational since 2016, supporting both standardized catalog sales and custom project-specific configurations. The development process follows an ISO 14001:2015-certified eco-design methodology that quantifies environmental impact through life-cycle eco-indicators.

The company serves primarily public-sector clients, including local authorities, municipalities, and public transport operators, with a customer roster spanning RATP, SNCF, Ville de Paris, Grand Lyon Métropole, Île-de-France Mobilités, CFL (Luxembourg), and Deutsche Bahn. Altinnova's revenue comes from three streams: (1) one-time hardware sales of cycling equipment with installation; (2) managed services through the Diwio platform, which handles subscription management, customer relations, and ongoing maintenance of bike parking facilities on behalf of municipalities and transport operators; and (3) custom design and project management for large-scale installations. Distribution leverages direct enterprise sales, the CATP (Centrale d'Achat du Transport Public) public procurement catalog, and event-driven demand generation at industry events such as Mobco, Velo-city, and Salon des Maires.

Altinnova is positioned as a category leader in French cycling infrastructure, having delivered France's largest bike parking facility at Lyon Part-Dieu (1,500 places opened May 2025) and 15,000 temporary parking spaces for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The company benefits from the French LOM (Loi d'Orientation des Mobilités) decree mandating bike parking at all railway stations, exports products to Luxembourg, Germany, and the United States, and holds certifications including ISO 14001:2015, EcoVadis Bronze Medal (68/100, 2026), and the Pro-Vélo Gold employer label (2025). The company is privately held, with 11-50 employees and a founder-led management structure under President and co-founder Corinne Verdier.

Revenue model

1. Bicycle Infrastructure Equipment Sales: Altinnova designs, manufactures, and sells cycling infrastructure equipment including shelters, racks, parking systems, and service stations. Products are available in standardized form or customized to client specifications. Revenue is generated through one-time product sales with installation, typically to public-sector clients and businesses.
2. Operations and Maintenance Services (Diwio): Altinnova provides ongoing operations, maintenance, subscription management, and customer relations services for bike parking installations via its Diwio platform. This creates recurring service revenue from municipalities and transport operators who outsource the day-to-day management of their cycling infrastructure.
3. Custom Design and Project Management: For large-scale projects (railway stations, Olympic infrastructure, municipal bike parks), Altinnova provides bespoke design, project management, and installation services, often involving permits, customization, and multi-stakeholder coordination.
