What Kleber Malecot does
Kleber Malecot SAS is the exclusive dealer of Volvo Construction Equipment across 20 French departments, operating from its headquarters in Neuville-aux-Bois. Founded in 1919 and now led by the fourth generation of the Malécot family under the parent Groupe Malécot, the company sells, rents, maintains, and repairs Volvo hydraulic excavators, wheel loaders, articulated and rigid dump trucks, pipelayers, demolition equipment, and the OEM's emerging electric machine line. Service capabilities are anchored by 57 continuously trained technicians, a fleet of 42 intervention vehicles for field breakdown response, and over 12,500 spare parts references stocked across 6 main warehouses. The company also operates the Volvo Certified Rebuilt remanufacturing program under a 3-year manufacturer certification.
The business model combines transactional equipment sales (new and used) with recurring service revenue from short- and long-term rentals, customized multi-year maintenance contracts, and aftermarket parts. Coverage is delivered through a directly owned network of 9 agencies and 10 service points spanning central and western France, including locations in Bourges, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Sorigny, Geneston, Montoir-de-Bretagne, Montsûrs, Varennes-Vauzelles, and La Crèche. Customer segments are diversified across construction entrepreneurs, quarry operators, building professionals, and local government authorities, with quote-based, individually negotiated pricing rather than published rates.
Go-to-market is enterprise field sales supported by a professional website and LinkedIn presence for employer branding. The 2020 acquisition of part of SOFEMAT's business expanded the territory from 13 to 20 departments, and the company continues to invest in technician hiring and headquarters capacity to support the enlarged footprint. FY2021 revenue was €78M, with the firm operating as part of a broader group structure that includes agricultural equipment entities Malecot Poirier Agri and KM-Agri under the KM Group umbrella.

Kleber Malecot competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Mecalac: French construction equipment manufacturer (compact excavators, backhoe loaders, site dumpers) with its own dealer network in France. Overlaps with Kleber Malecot's compact and mid-size construction equipment category and competes for the same building-professional customers.
- Kiloutou: France's largest generalist construction-equipment rental company with a national network of 500+ agencies. Competes with Kleber Malecot's rental business directly and sets the service-speed benchmark the dealer must match, but operates independently of any single OEM.
- Loxam: Europe's largest equipment rental company with deep French coverage. Comparable overlap in the rental and light-construction-equipment segment of Kleber Malecot's offerings, though Loxam sources from multiple OEMs rather than carrying a single-brand franchise.
- Manitou: French OEM of telehandlers, rough-terrain forklifts, and aerial work platforms with its own dealer network across France. Competes with Kleber Malecot's portfolio of wheel loaders and material-handling equipment for the same construction and quarry customers.
- Liebherr France: French sales and service subsidiary of Liebherr, selling earthmoving, material handling, and mining equipment directly through its own regional organisation. Competes with Kleber Malecot in the excavator, loader, and quarry-equipment categories across the same French regions.
Direct peers
- Bergerat Monnoyeur: Largest French dealer for Caterpillar construction equipment and also a major Volvo CE dealer in parts of France. Operates a comparable agency-and-service-point model with new equipment sales, rental, spare parts, and after-sales service for construction and quarry clients — directly comparable in dealership structure and customer base.
- Locapro: French regional construction equipment rental and service company with a multi-agency model targeting building professionals and contractors. Comparable in offering mix (rental, service, parts) and customer base, though smaller and not a Volvo franchisee.
- Eneria: Caterpillar dealer for construction equipment in France, with a similar heavy-equipment distribution model targeting construction, quarry, and public-works customers. Competes head-to-head with Kleber Malecot for the same end customers in the same 20 departments.
- Sobamat: French exclusive Volvo Construction Equipment dealer covering dealership territories that partially adjoin Kleber Malecot's footprint. Offers the same Volvo CE product lines (excavators, loaders, haulers) with sales, rental, service, and parts — a like-for-like Volvo franchise peer.
Regional players
- SMT (Volvo CE dealer): Exclusive Volvo CE dealer for Benelux and parts of West Africa, operating a multi-country agency network with sales, rental, and service. Comparable in dealership model and exclusive Volvo franchise, but operates in non-overlapping geographies.
