Remorques Loualt

What Remorques Loualt does

Remorques Louault (legal entity: SARL REMORQUES LOUAULT) is a French custom manufacturer of trailers and semi-trailers headquartered at 3 Rue des Prés, Saint-Fargeau, Yonne (89), operating as the flagship manufacturing subsidiary of the family-owned Groupe Louault, founded in 1930. The company designs and builds a broad range of products on a case-by-case "à la carte" basis, including semi-remorques porte engins (1–6 axles, 19T–92T PTC), semi-remorques surbaissées, semi-remorques forestières with rancher systems, bare chassis, road unrolling trailers, container/multibin trailers, TP tipper semi-trailers, large-volume tippers, and bespoke specialty vehicles (telescopic, bus carriers, forklift carriers, gas-bottle carriers). It serves B2B customers across five verticals: public works and construction, waste collection and recycling, forestry and logging, agriculture, and exceptional/oversized transport.

The business model is B2B direct sales with custom quote-based pricing; revenue derives from new vehicle sales, used vehicle resale, rental, and spare-parts distribution across the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region. GTM relies on direct commercial outreach, online quote requests, and a sustained trade-show presence (Eurosatory, INTERMAT, SOLUTRANS, Pollutec). Within the broader Groupe Louault — comprising approximately 20 companies, ~550 employees, and ~€100M revenue as of June 2025 — Remorques Louault sits alongside acquired entities (SOCARI, CEV, RISA, Métal Protection Services, TTB, PARSI Europe) that extend capabilities in aluminum tippers, technical/BTP equipment, cranes and trenchers, metal coating, textile coverings, and electric mobility. Jérôme Louault serves as Gérant; Frédéric Bierry heads operations, Alexis Pierre Durand technical direction, and Jimmy Agut homologation and spare parts.

Strategically, the group's center of gravity is acquisitive roll-up of distressed or adjacent industrial assets rather than purely organic growth, with five acquisitions completed between October 2023 and May 2026 (TTB, RISA, Métal Protection Services, PARSI Europe, SOCARI, CEV), each framed around job preservation. The Remorques Louault SARL itself remains focused on its core competence of custom-engineered industrial vehicles, with no disclosed AI/ML capabilities, software products, or digital platform — competitive advantage rests on engineering depth, homologation know-how, and the vertical integration benefits provided by the wider group.
