CRISTALINA PROPRETE

What CRISTALINA PROPRETE does

Cristalina Propreté is a French commercial and residential cleaning services company incorporated as a SAS (Société par Actions Simplifiée) and operating since 1990 in the Hérault and Gard departments of southern France. The company is headquartered in Clapiers, near Montpellier, and runs a second agency in Nîmes, with Jean Hernandez as Président. It serves two principal segments: professional clients (large retailers, offices, industrial sites, film production sets, and residential co-ownerships) and individual homeowners, with the residential channel accessed through membership in the Interservices cooperative, which makes eligible services eligible for a 50% income tax deduction.

The service portfolio is organised around a core Nettoyage & Propreté line — recurring maintenance contracts, surface treatments (diamond grinding and crystallisation of stone, wax application on plastic floors, hydrophobic/oleophobic treatment of concrete), window cleaning up to 15 metres using carbon-pole osmotic equipment, common-area maintenance for copropriétés, and post-construction restoration. This core is supplemented by three add-on modules: Désinfection (contact disinfectant and airborne disinfection via nebulisation and fumigène, deployed against COVID-19 and broader biological risk), Espaces verts (green spaces maintenance), and Services associés (sanitary supply management, bulky item removal, small DIY, light bulb replacement). Cleaning chemistry is positioned around third-party ecological certifications (Ecocert, EU Ecolabel, Cradle to Cradle).

Cristalina makes money primarily through bespoke, quote-based recurring cleaning contracts established after an on-site assessment, supplemented by one-time and ad hoc interventions. A fleet of 11 intervention vehicles supports rapid deployment across both departments, with contracts supervised on-site by chefs d'équipe using control sheets. Distribution is direct field service from the two agencies plus the Interservices cooperative channel for residential clients. The company is privately held, has disclosed no external funding, and shows a closely-held ownership structure consistent with a founder-led regional operator.
