What Aihdac does

Aihdac is a French "Entreprise Adaptée" (Adapted Company) headquartered in Blois, Centre-Val de Loire, founded in 1982 as the Association pour les Intérêts des Handicapés. It employs more than 125 people across four sites (Blois HQ, Le Phénix in Contres, Le Vendômois in Vendôme, Le Moulinet in Château-Renault), with approximately 80% of the workforce being people with disabilities. The organization combines a social mission of inclusive employment with diversified commercial activity, operating as a private association under French law.

Aihdac generates revenue through four main business lines. (1) Industrial subcontracting covers electro-mechanical assembly, sheet-metal and welding work, cable and electronics assembly, packaging/conditioning, and electrical-equipment refurbishment; named enterprise clients include Thales, Valeo, Schneider Electric, Bosch, La Poste, HMY, RADIALL, Culligan, Lavazza, and Standby France. (2) Building second-œuvre services (renovation, painting, electrical, plumbing, accessibility work) serve social-housing providers and property managers such as Tours Habitat OPH, with a 10-year warranty. (3) Services include corporate e-bike rental/maintenance (QualiRépar certified), premises maintenance, and a "Conciergerie Solidaire" for seniors launched in 2021. (4) Textile marking (embroidery, DTF transfer, flocking) launched in November 2025 at Le Phénix, alongside a 2025 handmade Christmas range of decorative objects built from reclaimed materials. A long-standing circular-economy partnership with Cy-Clope (since 2020) covers maintenance and collection of smart cigarette-butt recycling bins.

The business model is sales-led B2B with a dedicated commercial team (Delphine Robes, Manon Blangeois) operating on quote-based pricing. Revenue also comes from B2C/B2B e-commerce (protextile.fr) and a mobile workshop channel. Quality is anchored by ISO 9001 V2015 certification held continuously since 1994; the firm has achieved a 100/100 Index Égalité Femme-Homme for three consecutive years (2021-2023), placing it in the top 2% of French companies, and was the first QualiRépar-certified repairer in Loir-et-Cher (2023). The model monetizes the "Entreprise Adaptée" regulatory status, enabling clients to reduce their AGEFIPH/FIPHFP contributions while outsourcing qualified industrial work.

• Derichebourg: Derichebourg is a major French industrial services group providing subcontracting, facilities management, aerospace services, and recycling. It is a broad incumbent overlapping with AIHDAC's industrial subcontracting, refurbishment, and recycling service lines, though it operates at much larger scale without the disability-employment focus.

• Manpower Group France: Manpower is a global workforce-solutions leader with a major French presence in staffing, recruitment, and subcontracting. It is comparable to AIHDAC as a broad provider of workforce and industrial services to French enterprises, though it does not focus on disability employment.
