What Clipper Coramine (Saint-Gobain) does

Clipper Coramine, legally CORAMINE SAS, is a French manufacturer of flexible wall partition systems (cloisons amovibles) founded in 1956 and headquartered in Senlis, France. It has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Saint-Gobain group for approximately 20 years (since c. 2004), operating within Saint-Gobain France Solutions. Its product portfolio centers on four offerings: edge-to-edge partitions (Cloison bord à bord), cover-strip partitions (Cloison couvre joint), modular boxes and doors (Boxes et portes), and finishing accessories (Finitions). Products are designed to meet major building certifications (BREEAM, LEED, HQE) and carry Qualicoat, HQE, FDES, and VOC-label certifications.

The company generates revenue through one-time sales of modular partition systems to professional buyers — architects, fit-out companies (agenceurs), general contractors (entreprises générales), and specialist trades (aluminium and wood joinery, glazing) — via a network of 38 stockist distributor agencies across France, complemented by direct engagement through its website, The Club customer portal, and an integrated proprietary quoting tool. It operates across 9 countries, claims 1,500 partner companies, and maintains 20,000 m² of partitions permanently in stock. It also publishes a quantified CSR/HQE roadmap including a 20% CO2 reduction target by 2025, 100% electric forklifts by 2025, and 25% women in management by 2025.

Emerging players
