Fayolle

What Fayolle does

Fayolle (& Fils) is a family-owned French construction and public works company founded in 1929 and headquartered in Soisy-sous-Montmorency, Île-de-France, operating across all eight departments of the region with 258 employees. The company delivers an integrated portfolio through five core divisions — Travaux Publics (roadworks, signage, asphalt, urban cleanliness, snow removal), Génie Civil (sanitation, water, transport infrastructure, public service delegations), Bâtiment (public facilities, social housing, tertiary), Espaces Verts (landscaping with 90 staff across three sites), and Propreté Urbaine (50 staff, 13 contracts) — supplemented by specialized subsidiaries Fayolle Marine / Fayolle Plaisance (port and marina exploitation including Port Seine Parisii), Applic Sol (phosphorescent and specialized coatings), and Fayolle Désamiantage (SS4/SS3-certified asbestos removal).

The business model is exclusively B2G: revenue is generated through competitive public procurement (one-time project contracts for construction and civil engineering) and recurring managed-services contracts (maintenance baux across hundreds of buildings, DSP concessions for sanitation networks and ports). Vertical integration is a defining feature, with owned production assets including an asphalt plant in Gennevilliers, a white cement plant in Argenteuil, quarries in Creuse, an in-house carpentry workshop, a materials testing laboratory, and a fleet of 150 heavy trucks, 150 construction machines, and 200 utility vehicles (including GNV and electric units). Customer segments are municipalities of all sizes across Île-de-France, government departments (notably Hauts-de-Seine for 380 buildings), public housing providers, defense (ESID), and Olympic delivery entity SOLIDEO.

The go-to-market is relationship-driven public tendering, supported by participation in regional mayor conventions (Salon des Maires), a strong track record of Mairie de Paris quality awards (four consecutive years of 1er Prix de la Bonne Tenue des Chantiers, 2022–2025), and recent wins of Victoires de l'Investissement Local (2025) and Victoires Mobilités Durables (2026). Technical execution relies on traditional construction methods augmented by BIM-based design on larger conception-construction tenders, with no disclosed AI/ML capabilities. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the 2024 homepage figure is shown as a placeholder.
