METOS FRANCE SAS

What METOS FRANCE SAS does

Metos France SAS is the French operating subsidiary of Metos, a professional kitchen equipment brand founded in 1922 and itself part of Italian conglomerate AliGroup. From its base in Champs-sur-Marne, the 13-employee entity distributes professional cooking equipment (ranges, ovens, and cooking appliances) and professional washing/dishwashing equipment to commercial kitchens across France, serving restaurants, hotels, catering operators, and other foodservice customers. The company pairs hardware supply with a Service Après-Vente (SAV) offering that includes technical support, spare parts, and maintenance, generating a recurring revenue stream tied to the installed base.

The business runs on an enterprise field-sales model in which four regional sales managers — Alejandro Lopez (IDF-Nord-Est and Key Accounts), Franck Rondonneau (PACA Rhône-Alpes-Bourgogne), Alexandre Bescos (Grand Ouest), and Franck Wohrel (Sud-Ouest Auvergne) — handle direct customer engagement for kitchen projects. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; quotes are issued through these regional contacts or a central phone line. Digital channels supplement the field motion: the Metos Professional Kitchen Planner application enables digital kitchen layout design, and the partner extranet provides CAD Revit symbol orders that integrate Metos equipment into architectural and BIM workflows.

Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of professional kitchen equipment and recurring after-sales service income (spare parts and maintenance contracts). The French subsidiary operates as a sales and service node within the broader AliGroup-owned Metos network, which spans 9 countries, employs approximately 750 professionals, and markets roughly 25,000 products. No financials, customer logos, or growth metrics are publicly disclosed.
