AVET & FIL

What AVET & FIL does

AVET & FILS is a family-owned French SARL headquartered in Groisy (Haute-Savoie), founded in 1995 as TRANSPORTS AVET LE VEUF François and now operated by four family co-managers: founder François, his wife Catherine (accounting), son Eric (operations), and daughter Elodie (CFO, joined 2018). The company operates as a multi-service transport and civil engineering SME in the Annecy basin, employing more than 14 permanent staff (excluding seasonal and temporary workers) from premises relocated to Groisy in 2022.

The business spans five revenue streams delivered on a transaction or project-fee basis: (i) road freight and specialized transport (porte-engins, semi benne, semi plateau, 8x4, 6x2 Ampirol and 6x2 Benne configurations) for construction materials, aggregates, asphalt, and machinery including cranes; (ii) public works / travaux publics (earthworks, villa terrassement, VRD, sanitation upgrades, exterior developments) executed through the 2022-created wholly-owned subsidiary AVET TP (SAS), with collaboration on EUROVIA road shoulder and gutter projects; (iii) winter snow removal (déneigement) using SCANIA 4x4 and VOLVO 8x4 vehicles equipped with blades and salt spreaders, including a winter viability contract for PAYS de FILLIERE; (iv) equipment rental; and (v) aggregate sales. Underlying technology is fleet-based: SCANIA, VOLVO, CASE CVX135, FIAT L95DT, and BOBCAT equipment operated by a small in-house team.

The go-to-market is direct B2B engagement with regional construction firms, property developers, local authorities, and highway maintenance clients, supported only by a Facebook page for community updates and a website contact form. There is no public pricing, no formal marketing function, and no app or API surface. The legal structure is a SARL with €100,800 share capital, wholly family-held, with no external investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity in its history.

Broad incumbents

• NGE: Independent French group active in public works, earthwork, and road construction. Operates in the same VRD, terrassement, and infrastructure categories as AVET TP, but as a multi-region incumbent.
• VINCI Construction: Major division of the VINCI group covering building, civil engineering, and earthwork. Competes with AVET TP on broader infrastructure projects and represents the parent ecosystem of AVET's existing EUROVIA partnership.
• Kiloutou: Major French equipment rental operator with nationwide branches. Overlaps with AVET & FIL on machinery rental for construction and public works, though Kiloutou serves a national footprint and broader customer mix.
• LOXAM: France's leading equipment rental company operating a national network. Comparable to AVET & FIL's equipment rental service line, but at vastly larger scale and with a generalist industrial/customer base rather than a regional construction focus.
• Geodis: Global freight transport and logistics operator with strong French regional road freight activity. Comparable to AVET & FIL's transport division but operates at a national/international scale and serves enterprise logistics customers.
• Colas: Bouygues group subsidiary and a global leader in road construction and civil engineering. Competes with AVET TP for public works tenders, particularly VRD and road network projects, with vastly greater resources.
• XPO Logistics: Major European road freight transport and contract logistics provider. Competes with AVET's transport services for regional freight, particularly bulk and specialized loads, but at significantly larger scale.
• EUROVIA: VINCI group subsidiary and one of France's largest road construction and infrastructure companies. Already a partner of AVET & FIL on accotements and cunettes, and competes for the same municipal road and TP contracts at a much larger scale.
