What Cadima does
Cadima (Société CADIMA) is a French professional bakery, pastry, and food-service equipment distributor headquartered in Marssac-sur-Tarn, Tarn department, Occitanie, France. Founded in 1981 as a Société par Actions Simplifiée (SAS) with variable capital of €75,000, the company sells and installs equipment from more than 17 manufacturers across the production workflow, including deck ovens (Fringand, MAP FOUR, EUROPA), convection and rotary ovens (EUROFOURS, UNOX, MAP FOUR), spiral, oblique-axis, immersion-arm, and planetary mixers (VMI, BERTO, EFFEDUE, TEKNO STAMAP), dividers, divider-formers, and dough moulders (JAC, VITELLA, SINMAG, TEKNO STAMAP), dough sheeters and croissant lines (TEKNO STAMAP), blast chillers, freezers, and conservation cabinets (DAP, HENGEL, ACTIF Industries), proofing and retarding chambers (HENGEL, JAC, MAPANVA), and multi-function pastry machines and pasteurizers (PV LAB). The portfolio also includes stainless-steel accessories and a used-equipment section (L'Occasion).
The company operates a direct-to-buyer sales motion without public pricing or online checkout: customers request quotes by phone (05.63.38.56.90), email ([email protected], [email protected]), or a website contact form, with paid delivery and installation as additional services. Geographic scope is regional, covering the Tarn department and select adjacent Occitanie departments (31, 12, 09, 82). Complementing equipment resale, Cadima offers a turnkey store fitting service (agencement) led by an in-house designer who produces 3D layouts, coordinates tradespeople, and delivers decoration advice, positioning the company as a one-stop solution for bakery and pastry shop build-outs.
The company is privately held, closely held by two responsables (Corinne BESSES and Laura CORNELISSEN), with no external investors, parent company, funding rounds, or public-market indicators disclosed. Revenue is not publicly reported, and no AI/ML, software, or proprietary technology components are present; the business is a distribution and project-services model rather than a technology business.

Cadima competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Kaak Group: Kaak Group is a Dutch-based global supplier of complete bakery production lines and equipment. It competes for the same French bakery equipment buyers Cadima serves, particularly for larger artisan and industrial bakery projects.
- Bongard: Bongard is a long-established French manufacturer and supplier of professional bakery ovens and equipment (including the Pavailler brand). While Cadima is a multi-brand distributor in the same French bakery equipment market, Bongard is a much larger incumbent that both supplies Cadima's competitor distributors and competes for the same artisan bakery buyer.
- Pavailler: Pavailler (a Bongard brand) manufactures and supplies professional bakery ovens and equipment to the French market. Cadima directly distributes competing Pavailler-like brands (EUROFOURS, FRINGAND, UNOX), so Pavailler is a comparable incumbent on the supply side and an indirect competitor on the buyer side.
- Mecatherm: Mecatherm is a French industrial bakery equipment manufacturer supplying turnkey bread, viennoiserie and pastry lines. Cadima's customer base (artisan and semi-industrial bakeries in France) overlaps with Mecatherm's downstream buyers, making them a comparable incumbent at the larger end of the bakery equipment market.
- Middleby Corporation: Middleby is a large global manufacturer and supplier of commercial food service equipment, including bakery brands (e.g., TurboChef, Blodgett, Baker's Pride). It competes broadly with Cadima's portfolio for the same foodservice and bakery customers, though at much larger scale and via direct channels.
- Ali Group: Ali Group is a leading global manufacturer and distributor of commercial food service equipment with multiple bakery-adjacent brands. It operates in the same professional kitchen and bakery equipment market as Cadima but at significantly larger scale, often via direct sales or national distributors.
- Henny Penny: Henny Penny manufactures commercial cooking and holding equipment widely used in bakeries and quick-service restaurants. Its products compete with several categories Cadima distributes (convection ovens, holding/proofing cabinets) for the same foodservice buyers in France.
- Welbilt (Ali Group): Welbilt (now part of Ali Group) is a global manufacturer of commercial kitchen equipment including convection and combi ovens that overlap with the UNOX, EUROFOURS and RATIONAL-style products Cadima distributes to French bakery and foodservice customers.
Regional players
- Sottoriva: Sottoriva is an Italian manufacturer of professional bakery equipment (ovens, mixers, dividers). Cadima distributes several Italian-style equipment categories (spiral mixers, dividers) that compete head-to-head with Sottoriva products for French artisan bakery buyers.
- Salva (Grupo Salva): Salva is a Spanish manufacturer of professional bakery ovens (deck, rotary, convection) that competes directly with several of Cadima's distributed brands (EUROFOURS, FRINGAND, JAC ovens) for French artisan bakery customers.
