VEDA France

What VEDA France does

VEDA France (legal entity GV2 VEDA France, SAS) is a French specialty manufacturer of building expansion joint systems and passive fire protection products, founded over 30 years ago and headquartered near Paris Roissy Charles de Gaulle airport. The company designs, develops, and produces a comprehensive catalogue covering aluminium, brass, PVC, and stainless-steel expansion joint covers for floors, walls, facades, ceilings, carparks, and roofs, plus seismic-rated joint systems; the VEDAFEU sub-brand provides fire-rated cords, blankets, mattresses, filler boards, sealants, and foams with third-party-tested ratings up to EI 240 (4 hours) and movement capacities up to +50%/-85%. Complementary accessories include VED'EPDM waterproofing membranes, VEDAFLEX SIL silicone sealant, MS adhesive, butyl strips, backer rods, waterstops, aluminium and stainless-steel stair nosings, and anti-slip tapes. The company monetises through one-time B2B sales of catalog items and custom specifications, quoting on a project basis rather than via disclosed public pricing.

VEDA France operates a sales-led go-to-market model, engaging architects, engineering offices (bureaux d'études), and construction professionals at the design stage of projects and supplying BIM, DWG, and CCTP technical documentation for specification embedding. Distribution is direct B2B from a logistics warehouse near Paris with highway and CDG proximity, serving both French and international projects spanning healthcare, aviation, retail, hospitality, sports, transportation, education, and government facilities across EMEA, the Americas, and Asia Pacific. Marketing relies on a multilingual (French/English/Spanish) website, an online product selection assistant, a member-access portal for professional downloads, social media presence, a technical blog, and newsletter outreach. Quality is underpinned by ISO 9001:2015 certification held continuously since 2013 (last renewed June 11, 2025 by Bureau Veritas), and the company holds a patent on its stainless steel clip-on joint cover system.
