France Reval

What France Reval does

France Reval (legal entity REVAL, doing business as Groupe Reval) is a privately held French designer and manufacturer of medical and wellness equipment founded in 1976 in La Rochelle and headquartered in Sainte-Soulle, Charente-Maritime. The company operates two manufacturing plants in France with 100% artisanal production of stainless steel 316L and related medical-grade components, and reports more than 350 active balneotherapy pools installed across France along with a 10-year structural warranty on its modular basin systems. Its product portfolio spans four categories — balneotherapy (modular rehabilitation pools, REV'ALTO submersible walking platforms, aquatic bicycles, massage tables, underwater consoles, limb baths), hygiene (IRIS shower convertible, SOFLEX electric shower chair, RUBIS in-bed shower, CRYSTAL shower trolley, OPALE disinfection console), patient transfer (CP200 ceiling track lift with patented SAR no-tool system), and disinfection (basin washers, consumables, anti-germ filters) — with expansions into maternity bath and burn-victim bath lines and the 2026 acquisition of Cryobain adding cryotherapy and cold recovery for sports performance.

The company primarily serves French healthcare establishments (EHPAD/elderly residences, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, disability care facilities such as MAS, FAM, and foyers) plus, increasingly, professional sports organizations and hospitality/wellness facilities. Revenue is generated through custom-quotation hardware sales bundled with turnkey professional services (free audits, technical drawing, installation, on-site commissioning) priced per project; the website exposes no public price list and routes all inquiries through the commercial service. Distribution combines a French direct field-sales team organized regionally (e.g., Antoine Thé for Grand Ouest), public-sector purchasing channels (UGAP, RESAH, UNIHa, CAHPP) with eligibility for CNSA/ARS Plan d'Aide à l'Investissement subsidies covering up to 100% of qualifying investment, and an international distributor network spanning fifteen countries across Europe, Asia, and Oceania under the Reval Group / Reval Continuing Care LTD brand. Named reference customers include Hôpital Maritime de Zuydcoote, Orpea Group, Korian, Maisons de Famille, Croix-Rouge Française, APAJH, APF France Handicap, LADAPT, UGAP, and PSG.
