What MatElevage does

MatElevage (legal entity SAS MAT ELEVAGE, RCS Morbihan 328 339 031) is a privately-held French B2B company founded in 1982 in Plumelin, Morbihan, and relocated in 2019 to expanded headquarters at ZAC Le Barderff in Moréac, Brittany. The company designs, constructs, and renovates livestock buildings for two verticals: poultry farming (avicole) — broilers, laying hens, turkeys, ducks, and label/organic production — and pig farming (porcin) — gestation, maternity, farrowing, weaning, and finishing. Each project is delivered as a turnkey package integrating ventilation, electrical, heating, cooling, feeding, watering, alarm, and building management systems, with custom-designed electrical cabinets fabricated in-house. Core proprietary elements include an innovative Equal Pressure Building (Bâtiment à Pression Égale) for pig production and a co-developed Soft Chill ventilation system with SKOV, alongside an in-house study bureau (bureau d'étude) established in November 2019.

The business model combines four revenue streams: (1) new building construction, (2) renovation of existing buildings (including conversion from static to dynamic ventilation), (3) 24/7 after-sales service with 17,000 product references delivered via three field service vehicles, and (4) equipment and parts sales through a physical store and online boutique, including a 'Bourse à l'occasion' used-equipment marketplace. Project pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; selected retail parts are unit-priced. Distribution is direct and field-led, with two named site managers (Sébastien Robino and Gildas Jouannic) overseeing projects from specification through handover. The company is the self-described leader in Morbihan department and partners with SKOV, Tuffigo Rapidex, Systel, Rousseau, Lubing, Ocene, Gelec Energy, Hydroclean, Suevia, and Plasson for specialized subsystem supply.

Ownership transitioned in April 2019 from founder-era leader Loïc Roshnaro (who co-led with Sébastien Robino since 2009) to a three-director management team of Sébastien Robino, Gildas Jouannic, and Jean-Yves Mathurin. The firm operates with 11-50 employees, has no external institutional investors, no subsidiaries, and confines its market to a single French department. Revenue and backlog are not publicly disclosed.
