Lodi Group

What Lodi Group does

LODIGROUP (legal entity LODI S.A.S.) is a French family-owned formulator and manufacturer of hygiene and biosecurity solutions, founded in 1982 by Robert Lockman and currently led by his son Alexis Lockman as Chairman alongside Managing Director Marie-Laure Biannic. The company operates across four sub-brands: LODI Hygiène Publique (urban pest and disinfection), LODI Hygiène Rurale (livestock biosecurity), LODI Céréales (stored agricultural commodity protection), and DALEP (building maintenance), plus CGB (Compagnie Générale des Biocides) for rodent control baits. With approximately 150 employees distributed across three production facilities in Grand-Fougeray (Brittany) and Saint-André-sur-Orne (Normandy), plus support offices in Rennes and Paris, LODIGROUP generates its portfolio of rodenticides, insecticides, disinfectants, fungicides, and building treatments through in-house R&D anchored by an Innovation Center that combines regulatory affairs, formulation, and product development expertise.

The business model combines a French field sales force providing on-the-ground customer service with international distribution through approximately 100 partners in over 60 countries and wholly-owned subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, Russia, and Morocco. Revenue streams include branded product sales across the LODI, CGB, and DALEP brands in multiple formats (sachets, buckets, bags, bottles, sprays, drums, canisters), private-label manufacturing for international markets, custom application equipment designed and built in-house, and Qualiopi-certified professional training services. The portfolio spans conventional chemistries alongside bio-sourced alternatives (the Eco-R range and DALEP's solvent-free, water-based, non-flammable formulations), serving customer segments that include local authorities, pest control professionals, restaurants and hotels, farmers, livestock cooperatives, food processors, building distributors, and a retail/DIY consumer tail.

Operational depth is reinforced by a layered regulatory stack: ISO 9001 quality certification, BPL laboratory accreditation, AEO customs certification valid across all EU member states and recognized internationally, Qualiopi training certification, and French phytopharmaceutical distribution approval (Agrément N°BR00228). LODIGROUP is actively engaged with industry bodies including CEPA, CEFIC, UPJ, PROSANE, UIC, and CS3D, and participates in environmental stewardship initiatives (EcoDDS, CITEO). The company is privately held, family-controlled, with no disclosed venture capital or institutional investment, and reports no publicly available revenue figures.
