SCOP Cabrol

What SCOP Cabrol does

SCOP Cabrol is a French worker cooperative (Société Coopérative et Participative) headquartered in Mazamet that designs, fabricates, and installs metallic structures and building envelopes for public and private construction projects across France. The company was created in July 2015 when 35 employees acquired predecessor CABROL Construction Métallique, inheriting approximately 80 years of industry experience. Its core offerings span four product lines — Ossature métallique (metal structural frameworks), Bardage/Vêture (cladding and facade systems), Couverture bâtiment (roofing), and Habillage de façade (facade finishing) — plus specialized services in Métallerie (custom metalwork such as stairs, guardrails, mezzanines) and Ouvrages complexes (complex structural projects). All fabrication is performed in-house at the Mazamet workshop using plasma cutting, welding, and assembly processes certified under EN 1090-2+A1 (CE marking, EXC1-EXC3) and ISO 9001 quality management, with five Qualibat Superior Technicity certifications covering metal construction, roofing, cladding, and metalwork.

The firm operates a project-based B2B business model, generating revenue through one-time construction contracts either as specialist subcontractor or general contractor. Customer segments include French municipalities, departments, and intercommunities (sports arenas, cultural centers, fire stations, rail stations) and private enterprises (airports, industrial facilities, commercial centers). Commercial presence spans four metropolitan areas — Toulouse, Lyon, Montpellier, and Paris — with the Occitanie, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, and Île-de-France regions as core markets. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific, not publicly disclosed; projects are won through public tenders and direct client relationships supported by a pre-project study bureau and a commercial team. Notable reference projects include the Arena de Narbonne (582 tonnes), Centre International de l'Art Pariétal Montignac-Lascaux (420 tonnes), Nice Côte d'Azur Airport Terminal T2, and SNCF/Gares & Connexions rail station works. As a cooperative, employees are associate-owners and the firm has no external shareholders, venture capital, or institutional investors.

Core offering

SCOP Cabrol is a French worker cooperative that designs, fabricates, and installs metal structures and building envelopes, including steel frameworks, cladding, roofing, and facade finishing for new construction and rehabilitation projects. The company provides end-to-end project delivery through in-house study (structural analysis, 3D modeling, dimensioning), workshop prefabrication (plasma cutting, welding, assembly), and on-site installation.

Product overview

SCOP Cabrol is a construction company operating as a Société Coopérative Ouvrière de Production (cooperative) specializing in metal structures and building envelopes. The company offers four core products/services: Ossature métallique (metal structural framework), Bardage/Vêture (cladding and facade systems), Couverture bâtiment (roofing), and Habillage de façade (facade finishing). Additional specialized services include Métallerie (custom metalwork such as stairs, guardrails, and mezzanines) and Ouvrages complexes (complex structural projects). The company designs, fabricates, and installs these products, with operations spanning study, fabrication, installation, and project follow-up.
