What Dechamboux does

Dechamboux (SA Dechamboux) is a French industrial fluid distributor and hazardous-waste management operator headquartered in La Roche-sur-Foron, Haute-Savoie, France, founded in 1956 and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the ATOS Fluides group since 2022 (following a 2015 joint-venture). The company runs two core divisions: DECHAMBOUX DISTRIBUTION, which trades in industrial fluids and chemical products including metalworking lubricants, technical fluids for degreasing and pickling, mineral chemistry products, retention and absorbent materials, and the proprietary Lubrifrance eco-responsible lubricant brand; and DECHAMBOUX DÉCHETS SERVICES, which provides end-to-end hazardous waste collection, transport, consolidation and pre-treatment under a prefectural authorization held since 1992. The offering is supported by 180,000 liters of bulk storage, an integrated ADR-certified logistics fleet, an on-site laboratory for fluid analysis, and the Trackdéchets digital traceability platform for dematerialized waste tracking. Certifying bodies include ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, SQAS/ESAD (since 2013), and Responsible Care (January 2026).

Dechamboux generates revenue primarily through industrial fluid distribution (one-time product sales) and hazardous waste collection/treatment plus technical consulting/audit services (professional services engagements). Customers are industrial buyers in the machining, mechanics, surface treatment, aeronautics, automotive, optics and medical sectors, predominantly regional enterprise accounts in the Vallée de l'Arve and broader Haute-Savoie / Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes corridor, complemented by national reach through the ATOS Fluides group and the Quaker Houghton partnership. Pricing is quote-based with no public list; commercial motion is enterprise field sales with direct phone, callback-request, and department-routed contact workflows. The company is privately held with €1,422,400 of share capital, no public revenue disclosure, no disclosed headcount beyond the executive officers (CEO Franck Lutz, Legal Representative Sabine Dechamboux, Publication Responsible Mathilde Racloz, DPO Julien Bodin), and no public pricing or app/API surface. Operational scale is anchored in an annual distributed volume of 1,120,000 liters and a Certified Collector status with Cyclevia for used-oil valorization.
