What LAMARTINE Construction does

LAMARTINE Construction (legal entity: Groupe Lamartine Construction, SAS) is a privately held French construction group founded in 1998 by Pierre Lamartine and headquartered in Thiel-sur-Acolin, Auvergne. The group operates through three wholly-owned subsidiaries — LC Béton (precast concrete elements), LC Métal (metal structures and steel processing) and ZooPoLi (zoological infrastructure) — serving three end-markets: agriculture, industrial, and zoological parks. Operations are anchored by 4,000 m² of industrial workshops with annual throughput of approximately 1,000 tonnes of steel and 5,000 m³ of concrete, supported by a 45-vehicle fleet and six in-house installation teams. The group reports approximately €10.45 million in consolidated annual revenue, described as constantly growing year-on-year, with 300 projects completed across Europe and 250+ corporate customers including 50+ zoological parks such as ZooParc de Beauval, ZooParc de Thoiry, Le PAL, and Eléphant HAVEN.

The company's core technology is conventional industrial fabrication — metalworking equipment (plasma cutting, laser tube cutting, high-pressure water jet, drilling benches) and concrete production (planetary mixer plant, 10-ton overhead crane, multiple precast molds). Revenue is generated primarily through project-based, quote-priced construction contracts for custom metal and concrete structures, with supplementary revenue from the sale of self-installable precast concrete products and upfront consulting/advisory services. Go-to-market is sales-led B2B with a 'gagnant-gagnant' consultative approach; customer discovery channels include word-of-mouth referrals, presence at the Sommet de l'Élevage trade show, branded catalogs (Préfabook, Zoobook) distributed via Calameo, and a website with contact form and social presence. The ZooPoLi division holds EAZA certification — described as unique in Europe — covering strict requirements for zoological park facilities and animal welfare infrastructure, which constitutes the group's primary competitive differentiator.
