SOCODIME

What SOCODIME does

SOCODIME is a privately held French artisan manufacturer and installer of custom exterior joinery, headquartered in Tourville-sur-Sienne (Manche) with a manufacturing workshop in Couvains. Founded in 1985 as a SARL, the company designs, fabricates and installs aluminum (and complementary PVC, wood, composite) products for residential customers — covering openings and closures (windows, entry doors, shutters, garage doors), exterior equipment (gates, fences, verandas, pergolas, carports, railings, terraces, awnings) and select interior fit-out (interior blinds, glazed partitions). Manufacturing is performed in-house at the Couvains workshop, supporting custom dimensions, laser-cut decorative panels, thermolaquage finishing in RAL colors and motorization integration through partners such as Nice and Somfy. The business holds RGE (Reconnu Garant de l'Environnement) certification and A2P-rated garage doors, positioning it for the energy-efficiency and security segments of the Norman residential market.

The company sells and installs directly to individual homeowners across the Manche (50) and Calvados (14) departments of Normandy through a sales-led, project-based motion. Its 19-person team conducts on-site studies, issues free quotes (devis gratuit), fabricates to specification, and delivers installation under the SOCODIME brand or under co-branded manufacturer authorizations (Installux, Soko, MéO, Bouvet, Euradif, Bel'm, Gypass, OCEWOOD). Revenue is generated primarily through one-time project sales plus after-sales service/repair; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Demand generation relies on the company's website, project gallery, Facebook page, Google Reviews (rated 4.8) and word-of-mouth rather than paid acquisition. No external funding, M&A, institutional investors or management-team changes are disclosed in available sources.
