Laudevco SAS

What Laudevco SAS does

Laudevco SAS is a privately held French heating-solutions distributor headquartered in Barraux, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. Founded in 2015 and operating as a Société par Actions Simplifiée with 26 employees, the company is the official French partner for three European heating brands: Klover (pellet and wood appliances), Kratki (wood-burning fireplaces and inserts), and Rhea Flam (wood-burning appliances). Its go-to-market is B2B, distributing products through a nationwide network of certified professional installers rather than direct e-commerce.

The company's product portfolio spans pellet, wood, gas, and hybrid (wood/pellet) categories across air-heating and hydraulic (water-based) configurations, including stoves, fireplace inserts, hearths (foyers), cookers (cuisinières), and boilers. Equipment is offered across energy efficiency classes up to 7-star, with selected models featuring Wi-Fi connectivity (via the Klover Home mobile app), self-cleaning crucibles, super-silent operation (SOFT range), and the Sicuro Top safety system for hydraulic appliances. Product pricing is tiered between roughly €2,500 and €4,500+ HT (excluding taxes), with hydraulic systems and high-capacity cookers commanding premium pricing.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time hardware sales into the installer channel, augmented by an in-house after-sales service (SAV), spare parts coverage (claimed at 100% of appliances), and recurring professional training programs including Qualibois eau et air certification delivered in partnership with ENR Consulting. The company supplements distribution with multi-channel marketing (YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, blog content) and trade show participation (Bepositive, Flamme Expo, Interclima, Progetto Fuoco). Ownership and publication responsibility rest with Laurent Fustinoni and Willian Laurent, indicating founder/management control with no external investors or parent company disclosed.
