MONNAIE FRANCE

What MONNAIE FRANCE does

Monnaie France is a family-owned industrial painting and surface treatment company founded in 2014, headquartered in Saugon near Bordeaux, France. The company specializes in anti-corrosion protection and surface preparation for metallic structures in difficult-access and high-altitude environments, serving five primary verticals: energy transport infrastructure (high-voltage pylons for RTE), telecommunications antennas, industrial facilities, heritage monuments (notably the Tour Eiffel), and the wine industry. Its technical core covers surface preparation methods (high-pressure cleaning at 300-500 bars, sandblasting to SA2/SA2.5/SA3 standards, and PST2/PST3 manual/mechanical cleaning per ISO 8501-1) and coating application systems (polyurethane, epoxy, intumescent fire protection, food-grade, and airless application). The company holds a portfolio of sector certifications including ACQPA, OHGPI, CEFRACOR, MASE, GEPI, and CQP Cordiste, and operates with 120+ trained collaborators including 80+ certified painter-climbers for rope access work.

The business operates as a B2B professional services firm on a project-based, quote-driven revenue model with multi-year contracts. Pricing is determined per project based on surface area, preparation method, coating system, accessibility constraints, and location. Mobile field teams deploy directly to client sites across France, Belgium, and DOM-TOM. An in-house workshop acquired in 2021 enables internal surface treatment and coating operations. In 2024, the company established a wholly-owned subsidiary, Monnaie Paris, to serve Île-de-France clients and Parisian heritage projects, and became part of the Ateliers de France group, a heritage restoration conglomerate. Notable enterprise clients include RTE, EDF, Vinci, Eiffage, Bouygues, Elia, Engie, Linde, Yara, Bordeaux Port, Tour Eiffel, and Grand Palais. Revenue, funding, and ownership percentages are not publicly disclosed; share capital is stated at €440,000.
