SRI France

What SRI France does

SRI France is a French cleantech equipment manufacturer (SRI France SAS, registered at RCS Lyon under SIREN 42472308800045) headquartered in Oullins Pierre Bénite. The company designs, assembles and distributes three product families: biological parts washers (Ocean Coral 100L, Ocean Sunset 100L, Ocean Wave 60L), mobile brake washers (Ocean Gravity X2, Ocean Gravity X3, Ocean Lagoon) and absorbent recycling systems (BlueSource / Recycleur d'absorbant). Its core technology combines aqueous-based, non-toxic and non-flammable cleaning chemistry (BlueLiquid®) with proprietary microorganism tablets (BlueTablets®) that biodegrade hydrocarbons and continuously regenerate the cleaning bath, complemented by BlueFilter® pocket filters that extend consumable life; the company produces both hardware and consumables in a specifically equipped workshop under an ISO 9001:2008 quality management system certified by Bureau Veritas.

The business model is a hardware-plus-consumables razor/blade construct: SRI sells capital equipment outright (Ocean washers, mobile brake cleaners, BlueSource units) and then captures recurring revenue from BlueLiquid®, BlueTablets® and BlueFilter® consumables used in the installed base, plus partner enablement services (demos, marketing, training) for its distributor/reseller channel. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; go-to-market combines direct inside-sales and enterprise field-sales (brochures, YouTube demos, dedicated product data sheets) with a Pan-European partner/distributor network supported by a multilingual website in 17 European languages. Target customers are industrial maintenance and manufacturing workshops, automotive garages and brake-service professionals, industrial sites needing spill management, and B2B distributors integrating the cleaning concepts into their own catalogs.

The company presents as a small, bootstrapped specialty industrial manufacturer (declared share capital of €28,800, 11–50 employees) with no disclosed external funding, M&A, or revenue. Its growth signals are organic — multi-SKU product line, ISO 9001:2008 certification, European localization and a distributor enablement program — but the absence of disclosed capital, hiring, or financial data limits visibility into the pace and scale of expansion.

Revenue model

1. Hardware sales – biological and mobile parts washers: One-time sale of branded equipment: Ocean Coral 100L, Ocean Sunset 100L, Ocean Wave 60L biological parts washers, Ocean Gravity X2/X3 mobile washers and Ocean Lagoon portable washer. These are capital equipment items sold to industrial and automotive professionals.
2. Consumables – BlueLiquid®, BlueTablets® and BlueFilter®: Recurring revenue from proprietary consumables used in the washers: aqueous BlueLiquid® cleaning solution, BlueTablets® microorganism tablets and BlueFilter® pocket filters. These drive a razor/blade model linked to the installed equipment base.
3. Hardware sales – mobile brake washers: One-time sale of mobile brake cleaning equipment (electrical/pneumatic variants for autos and industrial use), avoiding solvent, dust and fiber projections.
4. Absorbent recycling pack (Recycleur d'absorbant / BlueSource): All-in-one systems that store, distribute, recover and recycle a natural absorbent based on lignocellulosic cotton fibers. Sold as integrated hardware + consumable units.
5. Partner services – demonstrations, marketing and training: SRI offers a range of innovative services (demos, marketing support, training) to help distributors and partners build a tailor-made offer and gain market share. This represents a professional-services / enablement revenue stream layered on top of the hardware and consumables business.
