What Gattegno does

Gattegno (legal entity ETABLISSEMENTS B. GATTEGNO SAS) is a French industrial manufacturer founded in 1910 and headquartered in Saint-Ouen-l'Aumône, France, operating as a subsidiary of Groupe Godet. The company designs and manufactures cable grips (tire-câbles) and a comprehensive range of cable pulling, laying, and unwinding equipment, including hydraulic and electric pulling winches (30kN to 280kN capacity), hydraulic tensioners/brakes, puller-tensioners, conduit blowers (EZ Stringing Guns), fiberglass fish tape, cable drum trailers, and lifting/handling accessories. The product portfolio includes more than 2,500 cable grip models spanning standard, reinforced, and hyper-reinforced variants for electrical utilities, construction/BTP, offshore energy, elevator maintenance, and medical applications.

The business operates a B2B enterprise field sales model with direct customer engagement, quote-based pricing (no public price list), and global shipping from its single French manufacturing facility. Revenue is generated through four primary streams: one-time capital equipment sales of cable grips and pulling machinery, usage-based equipment rental (cable drum trailers, conduit blowers, pulling winches), professional services including annual mandatory equipment verification and repair, and custom manufacturing of specialized cable grips and accessories engineered to customer specifications. The company also offers repair, maintenance, and conformity certification services that create ongoing customer relationships beyond the initial equipment sale.

The customer base spans multiple verticals including electrical utilities and network operators (primary), construction and infrastructure, offshore oil & gas and wind energy, building maintenance and elevator service providers, and the medical sector. Distribution is direct-to-enterprise with downloadable product catalogs, a multilingual website, and a quote request funnel as the primary commercial touchpoints. The company employs 11-50 people, carries a share capital of €245,823.50, and is registered under NAF code 2822Z (fabrication de matériel de levage et de manutension).
