Aluconcept

What Aluconcept does

Aluconcept, legally KSM Production and now operating commercially as Atelier KSM, is a French custom aluminum fabricator headquartered at its production facility in Argelès-sur-Mer. It designs and manufactures aluminum gates (swing and sliding), fences, privacy screens (brise-vue), railings (garde-corps for stairs and terraces), supporting posts, and gate motorization accessories. Core technical capabilities include in-house powder coating (thermolaquage), aluminum bending (cintrage), and bespoke (sur-mesure) reproduction of original designs including ironwork-inspired patterns, supported by nine branded product lines (gammes) such as Outremer, Cépage, Mosaïc, Éole, Égérie, Rivage, Symphonie, Industriel, and Copro. The company restructured its offering around two concepts in 2024: Concept Signature for fully custom artisanal creations and Concept Excellence for curated, pre-designed models with timeless aesthetics.

Aluconcept sells directly to end customers via its website using a free-quote model and an online product configurator, supplemented by a dedicated Espace Pro (Professional) portal for installers and B2B buyers. The customer base is anchored on individual residential homeowners, with secondary segments in residential co-ownership/property management (Copro) and industrial/commercial buyers (Industriel). Pricing is quote-based per project with no published list prices and no recurring revenue component. Distribution is single-country (France) and direct, with no retail or third-party distributor layer. Marketing relies on organic social media (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest), newsletter email, and the configurator as the primary conversion funnel.

The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Groupe Burgermeister, a diversified industrial group whose exterior-fitting portfolio also includes Ocler, Volets Thiebaut, Jardimat, and Solisysteme. The 2024 rebrand from Aluconcept to Atelier KSM was positioned as full integration with the parent group's manufacturing expertise and resources. The firm employs between 11 and 50 people and is privately held with no venture capital or public-market ownership disclosed; no revenue, funding, or financial figures have been disclosed.
