Sodicob

What Sodicob does

Sodicob SARL is a French manufacturer of roller shutters and garage doors, founded in 1989 and headquartered in Bruguières, France. The company operates a 5,000 m² regional manufacturing site where aluminum and PVC shutters, garage doors, and sub-components are designed and assembled on-site, with aluminum slats and coffers machined by its wholly-owned subsidiary P.S.O. Sodicob distributes a portfolio that includes renovation shutters (Coffre ALU Monobloc, Reno B PVC), traditional/new-construction shutters (Coffre Tunnel, Bloc B PVC) compliant with BBC insulation standards, roller garage doors, and Brise-Soleil Orientables (B.S.O.) external sun-shading products sourced through a partnership with German manufacturer Warema.

The business model is B2B sales-led: Sodicob sells primarily to French professional customers (installers, builders, renovators) through a direct commercial force that assigns a dedicated account manager per project from order through final installation, with delivery handled by the company's own service. A connected-home product line ('Maison connectées') integrates the shutters and garage doors with Somfy TaHoma, Somfy Connexoon iO, and Delta Dore Tydom smart-home platforms for remote control. Sodicob is a subsidiary of the BOUYER-LEROUX diversified industrial group, which provides corporate backing within the broader French building materials and closure solutions sector. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is communicated via account-opening documentation for professional buyers.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Delta Dore: French specialist in home automation and connected solutions, providing the Tydom platform integrated into Sodicob's connected roller shutters. Adjacent player rather than direct shutter competitor, but a key ecosystem partner shaping how French smart-home demand is addressed.
• Nice Group: Italian home automation specialist offering motors and connected solutions for shutters, awnings, and garage doors. Compares to Sodicob on the connected-home integration side rather than hardware manufacturing, and increasingly bundles motorized closures as part of broader smart-home ecosystems.

Direct peers

• Lakal: German manufacturer of roller shutters, roller garage doors, and external venetian blinds serving European markets. Comparable product portfolio and focus on residential and light commercial closures, with growing French distribution.
• Bubendorff: One of France's leading manufacturers of motorized and traditional roller shutters, also offering connected home solutions. Competes head-to-head with Sodicob in the French residential renovation and new construction markets with similar aluminum and PVC product lines.
• Warema: German manufacturer of sun shading systems, including B.S.O. (Brise-Soleil Orientables) and external venetian blinds. Already a Sodicob partner for B.S.O. supply, but also a potential competitor as Warema expands its own distribution channels into France.
• Profalux: French manufacturer of roller shutters and garage doors headquartered near Annecy. Direct competitor in the same core product categories (renovation and traditional shutters, garage doors) with comparable B2B distribution to installers in the French market.
• Griesser: Swiss manufacturer of external sun shading (roller shutters, B.S.O., venetian blinds) with presence across Europe including France. Directly comparable in B.S.O. and roller shutter technology and frequently competes on the same commercial and high-end residential projects.

Broad incumbents

• Hörmann: European market leader in doors and closures, including rolling garage doors and shutters for residential and commercial applications. Sodicob competes most directly in garage doors, where Hörmann has substantially broader product depth and pan-European distribution.
• Velux: Global leader in roof windows and associated external/internal shading systems (including shutters, blinds, and solar protection). Overlaps with Sodicob in the shading and sun-protection category, particularly for upper-floor and skylight applications, but operates at much broader scale across multiple European markets.
• Somfy: French global leader in motorized solutions for shutters, blinds, and garage doors, and operator of the TaHoma connected home platform. Sodicob integrates Somfy motors and TaHoma into its connected roller shutters, but Somfy also sells complete shutter systems through its own network — creating both partnership and overlap.
