Installux SA

What Installux SA does

Installux SA, headquartered in Saint-Bonnet-de-Mure (Lyon area), France, designs, manufactures, and commercializes aluminum profile systems used by building professionals to fabricate windows, entrance doors, sliding patio doors, curtain walls, conservatories, pergolas, carports, gates, fences, balustrades, and interior glass walls. Founded in 1923 as a family business, the company operates within Groupe Installux and benefits from vertical integration through its subsidiary IES (custom aluminum extrusion) and group affiliates TIASO (tertiary partitions), MECANALU (movable partitions), and COMEY (raised technical flooring, integrated in 2025). Surface treatments are certified to Qualicoat, Qualimarine, Qualideco, Qualanod, and Qualilaquage standards, and the company carries the 'Fait en France' designation.

The company's revenue model rests on three streams: hardware sales of profiles, accessories, and coatings to a network of approximately 800 partner craftsmen/manufacturers (menuisiers) across France who fabricate and install solutions for end customers; technical services including the Bureau d'Études Clients (project design office), Campus Aluminium Qualiopi-certified training, and a proprietary software ecosystem (Phoebus for quoting, LOGIXALU for design and CAD, COVER 3D for parametric 3D modeling, ProDevis for commercial management); and rental income from the Parc Locatif Installux machining tool pool. Distribution to end customers is almost exclusively indirect through partner fabricators, with a dedicated prescription team supporting architects, BET (engineering firms), and developers in the tertiary market.

FY2025 consolidated revenue reached €164.7 million, up 12% year-over-year, including €13.5 million from the Comey integration; the SVF acquisition (from CLF SATREM / Groupe VIGIANS) was completed in January 2026. Profitability, however, softened in the same period, with operating result down 4% to €9.9 million and net income attributable to the group down 11% to €7.5 million, suggesting margin pressure alongside acquisition-led top-line growth. The group holds an EcoVadis Bronze medal (top 35% globally) and a registered share capital of €4,564,576, with stock referenced under ticker epa:STAL.
