HOUDELOT EURO INDUSTRIES

What HOUDELOT EURO INDUSTRIES does

Houdelot Euro Industries (HEI) is a French industrial sheet-metal and tube-finishing manufacturer founded in 2001 and headquartered in Bressuire, Deux-Sèvres (Nouvelle-Aquitaine). Operating from a 2,200 m² production facility with seven employees, the company runs a dual model combining industrial subcontracting — laser cutting, welding, tube bending, folding, punching, and surface treatment — with proprietary product lines sold direct from factory.

Its own product portfolio spans four branded institutional furniture ranges (LECTUS for accommodation, PLUME for accommodation, MENSA for catering, and VESTIAIRES for storage/lockers), a dedicated Cornadis Houdelot livestock equipment brand (milking-parlor fencing, kidding pens, troughs with automatic individual-locking mechanisms for goats and sheep), and a "Travail de l'Inox" stainless-steel range for food-industry fabrications. Surface treatment (powder coating, microblasting, sandblasting, metallization, galvanization) is delivered via an in-house partnership with Metalcolors.

Revenue mechanics rely on a vente directe d'usine (factory-direct) model targeting collectivités (local government/institutions), livestock farmers, and industrial clients across France, with no disclosed pricing transparency. The legal form is an SAS (Société par Actions Simplifiée) with statutory-minimum €23,000 share capital, founder-owned with Charlotte Houdelot as publication officer; no funding rounds, M&A, or institutional investors are disclosed. The company's recent activity centers on brand and vertical expansion (food industry, collectivités sub-segments), regional circular-economy network membership (Recto Verso), and progressive trade show presence from regional (Sepem Angers 2023, Industrie Grand Ouest Nantes 2024) to national (Global Industrie Paris 2026) scale.
