Agorespace

What Agorespace does

Agorespace is a French family-owned industrial company founded in 1989 by Jean-Michel Kaskosz and credited as the inventor of the modern multisport court (first installation in Évian, 1990). The firm designs, manufactures, and installs multi-use games areas (MUGAs) and dedicated football fields (TF3, TF4, TF5) for public and semi-public clients, with a current product matrix covering five material ranges (steel, composite, aluminum, plus PVC-hemp netting) and six court sizes. Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward French municipalities, with 4,000+ rural communes and 6,000+ cumulative installations cited; notable reference customers include UEFA, the FFF, the FIGC, and the City of Paris. The product is certified under ISO 9001 (2001), ISO 14001 (2014), ISO 50001 (2018), NF EN 15312, Qualisport, FFF TF5 homologation, and Label Origine France Garantie (since 2013), and the firm is described as a contributor to the development of the underlying European product standard.

The company monetizes through direct project sales of hardware systems plus associated installation services, with court ASPs typically in the mid five-figure to low six-figure euro range depending on size and material. Go-to-market is a direct sales force of 11 regional managers and 2 team leaders covering metropolitan France, complemented by an export department serving the UK, Italy (in partnership with the FIGC), and other European markets under a long-running partnership with UEFA (in place since 2004). Pricing is project-based and tied to municipal capex cycles; the firm supports buyers with subsidy-application expertise, particularly under the ANS Plan 5000 Generation 2024 federal funding program running through 2026. Recent product launches include the Gamme Tout Alu (2023, lifetime warranty), the Gamme Acier Composite with PVC-hemp netting (2021), an integrated ball-stop system (2022), and an integrated mechanical score counter (2021).

Agorespace operates as a privately held SAS with €375,280 share capital and remains under family control, with Régis Kaskosz (son of the founder) as current President. The business carries no external investors or PE backing and has not pursued an IPO. Beyond hardware, the firm invests in ecosystem and community engagement — Agorathlon events, ambassador programs, white papers, and a 3D virtual-tour website — intended to generate end-user demand-pull from youth, amateur clubs, and football federations. Environmental positioning is reinforced by life-cycle assessment work since 2008 and energy-management certification under ISO 50001.
