CARRIERES DU BASSIN RHONALPIN

What CARRIERES DU BASSIN RHONALPIN does

Carrières du Bassin Rhônalpin (CBR) is a privately held French quarry operator and construction-materials recycler headquartered in Brignais, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. The company operates five sites across the Rhône and Loire departments — Carrière de Bully (massive blue-grey rock), Carrière de Creuzeval (rhyodacitic volcanic rock for roads), Carrière de Saint-Bonnet-de-Mure (fluvio-glacial alluvionary materials), Fillot Recyclage (urban construction-waste recycling in Lyon), and Terril Saint-Pierre (former coal-mining waste valorization near Saint-Étienne) — all held under long-duration Préfectoral authorizations.

CBR's product portfolio spans natural aggregates (sands, gravels, GNT meeting CE EN 12620 and EN 13043 standards), recycled and eco-materials from construction demolition waste (granulat+), decorative color aggregates (Orizome®), and complementary services including big-bag packaging, owned-fleet transport (6x4, 8x4, SEMI 44-tonne trucks), and inert-waste reception under digital pre-acceptance (E-DAP). Core processing equipment includes a TEREX Finlay 883+ Triple Shaft scalper for clay removal, a KOMATSU WA 480-8 wheel loader, and a CH440 tertiary crusher.

Revenue is generated through quote-based, transactional sales at sites and via owned-fleet delivery to four end segments: BTP construction firms, Travaux Publics public-works contractors, construction-demolition waste generators, and individuals/SMBs purchasing big-bag materials for small projects. The company emphasizes local proximity, short delivery cycles, and a 20-year recycling heritage via its Granulat+ sub-brand, positioning itself within the circular-economy transition of the regional aggregates market.
