Pyrenet

What Pyrenet does

Pyrenet is a France-based B2B distributor of hygiene solutions and devices, founded in 1971 and headquartered in Ibos (Occitanie region). The company specializes in serving public sector organizations (collectivités) and complementary verticals including hospitality, food industry, healthcare, education, and cleaning companies across the Occitanie and Nouvelle Aquitaine regions, with extended coverage to French overseas territories via the HEEGEO national network. Its catalog comprises more than 3,500 product references spanning kitchen hygiene, laundry care, floor and surface maintenance, sanitary hygiene, body care, personal protective equipment, waste collection, and restaurant/hotel supplies, including an EU Ecolabel-certified product range.

The company's differentiated technology layer consists of five proprietary eco-innovation offerings: PRO3ACTIVE (water ozonation), SANIVAP (steam-based chemical-free disinfection), DUOLINE (pollution-preventing technology), FLOORPUL (ozone-powered mechanized floor cleaning), and OLIMPE (inline water electrolysis for on-demand cleaning solution production). These technologies are positioned as alternatives to chemical cleaning products and represent the company's primary innovation vector beyond standard catalog distribution.

Pyrenet operates a sales-led go-to-market model through a field force of 9 hygiene advisors and 2 technical-commercial staff who provide on-site audits, diagnostics, product recommendations, and installation services to public and professional clients. The company supplements field sales with an online client portal (Espace Client), the HEEGEO national catalog, and social media presence on Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube. Revenue is generated primarily through transactional product sales, with approximately 15,000 orders processed annually from a base of more than 2,000 active clients, yielding €8.3M in FY2024 revenue. In 2024, ownership transitioned to Vincent Moisset and Paul Moisset following the company's tenure within the HEEGEO distribution network (formerly Groupe RESO, joined 1995, rebranded 2020).

Broad incumbents

• Rentokil Initial: Global hygiene and pest control services provider serving commercial and public sector customers. Touches the same hygiene end-market as Pyrenet but primarily through services rather than product distribution.
• Ecolab: Global leader in water, hygiene, and infection prevention solutions serving foodservice, hospitality, and institutional markets. Overlaps with Pyrenet's end-markets but at vastly greater scale and with proprietary chemistry rather than pure distribution.
• Diversey: Provider of cleaning, hygiene, and infection prevention products and solutions across professional and institutional markets. Competes with Pyrenet in the same end-uses but as a manufacturer/brand owner with global reach rather than a regional distributor.
• Elis: French-headquartered provider of textile and hygiene solutions to enterprises and public institutions across Europe. Particularly comparable given the shared French public-sector focus and overlapping hygiene product/service offerings.

Others

• CHRISTEYNS: Belgian manufacturer of professional cleaning, laundry, and disinfection products for institutional and industrial customers. Functions as a potential supplier to Pyrenet's distribution business while competing for the same end-customer contracts in the professional hygiene market.

Similar business model of distributing third-party hygiene brands to collectivités and B2B customers across European markets.
• Bunzl: Global B2B distribution group specializing in hygiene, foodservice, and cleaning products to professional end-markets including public sector. Operates with a similar distribution-led model serving collective/institutional buyers across multiple geographies, making it the closest scale comparable to Pyrenet's hygiene distribution business.
