What PERIN & CIE does

PERIN & CIE is a French industrial manufacturer of precast concrete building elements founded in 1921 and headquartered in Redon, France. The company operates seven factories across France with a combined annual production capacity of 400,000 tonnes of concrete, supported by 170 employees and a distribution network of 800 resellers and distributors. It is structured as a SAS (simplified joint-stock company) with €1,072,020 in capital and operates as a subsidiary of DHM Group, under the leadership of CEO Renan Denis.

The company's product portfolio is organized across three core segments: structural building components (MURS walls featuring TECHNIBLOC thin-joint rectified blocks and AIR'BLOC insulating blocks; PLANCHERS prestressed beam-and-block floors; FAÇADES including BETOBRIKETTE brick slips and Pérérité BFUP ultra-high performance fibre-reinforced concrete), public works products (HydroDrain permeable pavers, curbs, drainage systems, and water management solutions), and exterior development (fences, landscaping, and funerary elements). Differentiated IP includes the patented Thermo'Rive thermal break planelle (Psi=0.49 W/m.K under CSTB approval 16/23-798_V1), the Pérérité BFUP line with compressive strength up to 200 MPa, and the Materrup-partnered Décarbonée range using MCC1 non-calcined clay cement that reduces CO2 emissions by 50% versus Portland cement. Multiple CSTB technical approvals, NF/CE certifications, and FDES-verified environmental declarations underpin regulatory positioning.

Revenue is generated through B2B hardware sales of prefabricated concrete products, distributed primarily via the 800-strong reseller network and complemented by a dedicated 4-person prescriber/specialist team that engages architects, engineering firms, and project developers on technical specification. End customers span collective housing, individual homes, non-residential buildings (warehouses, industrial, agricultural, hospitality, education, healthcare), and public infrastructure projects. Recent strategic emphasis has shifted toward low-carbon product lines, ultra-high performance concrete, and operational energy independence via a 4,200 MWh/year solar self-consumption installation.
