COMODIS

What COMODIS does

COMODIS (legal name COMPTOIR MOURSOIS DE DISTRIBUTION) is a French B2B distributor of professional hygiene, cleaning, and maintenance products founded in 1983 and headquartered in Châteauneuf-sur-Isère, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. The company sells more than 4,000 stocked SKUs across ten product categories — laundry, kitchen, floor and surface, body hygiene, paper, environmental protection, equipment and utensils, dispensers and dosing systems, spare parts, and an ecological range — supplemented by exclusive branded product lines such as the GILET PREMOP pre-impregnation cleaning vest, Ventury Nezbu programmable fragrance diffusers, and OXYMORE and RETRO photocatalysis and ozone-based air purifiers. Its corporate customer base spans municipalities, hotels and restaurants, cleaning-services companies, hospitals, retirement homes, and property-management syndicates across seven departments of the Rhône-Alpes region.

The business combines a direct field sales force of 22 certified hygiene advisors with four commercial assistants, three cash-drive pickup locations, a B2B e-commerce portal, mobile applications for iOS and Android, and a proprietary delivery fleet of 47 vehicles (including 6 electric) operated by 18 dedicated drivers. Revenue is generated through one-time product sales, equipment sales and installation, after-sales service, and certified training delivered through its in-house training center. COMODIS holds double ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certification (since 2018), EcoVadis Bronze (2022), and Greenly Silver (2025), and has executed four regional acquisitions — DL Hygiène (2016), Ariane Protection (2019), DAMITE (2023), and LABROSSE CLEANING (2024) — ahead of its 2025 acquisition by HEDIS Group. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and B2B accounts must be created for access.
