Raimondi

What Raimondi does

Raimondi Distribution 2S SAS is the French distribution subsidiary of the Raimondi brand, a wholesale company headquartered in Colombe, France, that sells professional tools and machines for tile installers. The parent brand was founded in 1974 in Modena, Italy — the historical centre of European ceramics — by Mirco Raimondi, himself a professional tile installer, with the mission of improving installation quality and productivity while reducing installer fatigue. The company offers 514+ SKUs across two ranges (Gamme Raimondi with 314 products and Gamme Complémentaire 2S with 200 products), spanning manual and electric tile cutters, diamond cutting and drilling tools, large-format tile handling systems, hand tools, safety equipment, and grouting/finishing supplies.

Its core proprietary technology is the Raimondi Levelling System (R.L.S.), a self-levelling clip-and-base system launched in 2009 that the company credits with creating the self-levelling tile system category, with the most recent R.L.S. HD variant offering higher load capacity and thermal robustness, and the 2023 LEVMATIC Battery pneumatic pincer reducing operator fatigue during installation. Revenue is generated through one-time wholesale product sales to a network of 1,500+ independent French distributors, supported by 15 field sales representatives covering all French departments with demonstration vehicles. End customers are professional tilers and tile installation contractors; pricing is not publicly disclosed, and a free professional membership portal provides registered installers access to documentation, pricing sheets, and training resources. The entity is privately held as a French SAS with €100,000 share capital, no disclosed external investment, no parent company, and operates under director of publication M. Benoît Sansone.
