Altodis

What Altodis does

Altodis is a privately held French multi-brand equipment dealer, rental operator, and service provider founded in 2003 and headquartered in Rixheim (Alsace). The company distributes, rents, and maintains material handling equipment (forklifts, pallet trucks, order pickers, reach trucks, multidirectional trucks) and construction/landscape machinery (mini-excavators, wheeled loaders, telehandlers, aerial platforms, crushers, screeners, and attachments) under OEM partnerships with Toyota, Kubota, Merlo, Haulotte, EvoQuip, ARJES, MORA, FAE, AMLIFT/Combilift, Epiroc, and others. Operations are delivered through four owned agencies across Alsace and Franche-Comté (Rixheim, Colmar/Sainte-Croix-en-Plaine, Strasbourg/Hoerdt, Besançon), supported by 6,000 m² of BBC-standard covered facilities, four workshops, 20+ intervention vehicles, and a 9,000+ SKU spare parts inventory.

The business operates a full-lifecycle equipment model. Revenue is generated across five streams: (i) new and used equipment sales (hardware), (ii) short- and long-term rental from a fleet of 1,000+ machines (recurring/usage-based), (iii) after-sales service including maintenance contracts and itinerant repair delivered by 30+ technicians (professional services), (iv) fleet management of customer-owned equipment portfolios (managed services), and (v) financing facilitation. The customer base is segmented across industrial/logistics operators, construction and public works (BTP) contractors, landscape and agricultural professionals, and recycling operators — with no publicly disclosed anchor customers and pricing conducted on a per-unit, quote-based basis.

Strategic posture emphasizes regional density, multi-OEM breadth, and incremental moves into higher-value adjacencies. The company is investing in electrified construction equipment (Kubota KX019-4e, RT210-2e/RT220-2e electric wheeled loaders), a dedicated recycling equipment vertical (EvoQuip and ARJES Impaktor ranges), and intralogistics automation (Toyota Autopilot AGVs), supported by active field-sales and technician hiring in Nancy (Lorraine) that points to a geographic extension beyond the historic Alsace/Franche-Comté base. Ownership is independent and privately held with no disclosed external funding rounds, M&A activity, or executive turnover.

Direct peers

• Loxam: European leader in equipment rental with a deep French branch network covering material handling, aerial work platforms and construction machinery. Comparable to Altodis on rental fleet model, multi-brand offering and customer segments, but with pan-European scale and significantly larger rental fleet.
• Locagri: French rental company specializing in agricultural, landscape and light construction equipment. Comparable to Altodis on the landscape/agricultural equipment segment and short-term rental model, particularly relevant given Altodis's Kubota, Merlo and FAE distribution partnerships.
• Bergerat Monnoyeur: Exclusive Caterpillar dealer in France providing sales, rental and after-sales service for Caterpillar construction and material handling equipment. Highly comparable to Altodis on multi-revenue dealership model, BTP customer base and full-lifecycle service offering, though concentrated on a single OEM brand.
• Kiloutou: France's largest equipment rental company with a national branch network offering forklifts, aerial platforms, mini-excavators and construction equipment. Directly comparable to Altodis in the rental and sales of material handling and BTP equipment, though operating at substantially greater scale and geographic reach.
• Manulift: French distributor of Manitou telehandlers, forklifts and aerial platforms with sales, rental and service operations. Comparable to Altodis on telehandler and material handling equipment focus, with similar regional dealership structure and customer overlap in construction and agriculture.

• Groupe Fraikin: Major European commercial vehicle and industrial equipment leasing and fleet management provider. Comparable to Altodis on the fleet management and equipment leasing revenue streams, though Fraikin focuses on commercial vehicles rather than material handling and BTP equipment.
