CAUX LOC SERVICES

What CAUX LOC SERVICES does

CAUX LOC SERVICES (legal entity CAUX LOC, SARL) is a family-owned French portable sanitation rental and sales operator founded in 1999 and headquartered in Beauval-en-Caux, Normandy. The company rents, delivers, maintains, and recollects autonomous and connectable WC cabins, dry toilets (using sawdust-based composting), mobile shower cabins, urinals, hand-wash stations, PMR-accessible units, and VIP sanitary trailers for construction sites, festivals, public events, weddings, and private gatherings. It sells equipment and accessories in parallel.

Operations are organized through nine regional depot-agencies — Versailles, Rouen, Saint-Brieuc, La Roche-sur-Yon, Tours, Auxerre, Lyon, Nîmes, and Montauban — collectively covering roughly 75% of metropolitan France, supported by a fleet of 1,000+ sanitation units, nine specialized service vehicles with mobile vacuum systems, and a staff of 11–50. The company delivers a turnkey service: 24-hour quote turnaround, delivery, installation, scheduled maintenance (weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly), and pickup, with the same technician typically handling delivery and maintenance.

Revenue is generated through three streams — equipment rental (short-term to multi-year subscriptions), recurring maintenance contracts, and one-time equipment sales — priced on a quote basis that varies by unit count, distance, duration, and service frequency. The customer base spans enterprise (Vinci Construction, TotalEnergies), government (French Army), NGOs (Croix-Rouge, Secours Populaire), sports (Sportera), agricultural cooperatives (Cavac), and high-profile event organizers (Festival des Vieilles Charrues, Paris 14 July fireworks, D-Day 70th Anniversary). Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via the regional depots, complemented by phone-based inside sales, an online quote request portal, and SEO-driven regional landing pages.
