Scale indicators15 records

Recent moves9 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Kiloutou: Major French equipment-rental group serving construction and industrial customers. Overlaps with Poly Diesel's rental operations but does not distribute OEM brands or run a full MRO/power-generation business.
• Wärtsilä: Global OEM of marine engines and power plants, with Wärtsilä Lifecycle Services covering aftermarket support. Poly Diesel is one of its authorized distributors; Wärtsilä's Marine Power Services business operates comparable MRO, spares, and field-service activities on a global scale.
• Manitou Group: OEM manufacturer of telehandlers, aerial platforms, and forklifts; one of Poly Diesen's core brand partners. Comparable only at the equipment-product level (Poly Diesel is distributor and servicer rather than manufacturer), but a natural reference point for unit volumes and pricing.
• LOXAM: Europe's largest equipment-rental company with aerial platforms, forklifts, and construction equipment. Comparable on the short- and long-term rental side of Poly Diesen's business, though LOXAM is a pure rental specialist rather than a distributor-servicer.
• SDMO / Kohler Power Systems: Generator-set OEM and power-systems provider. Poly Diesel distributes competing brands (Cummins, FG Wilson, Pramac) and provides similar genset service capabilities, making Kohler/SDMO a comparable reference for the power-generation side of the portfolio.

Direct peers

• Eneria: French Cummins and MTU distributor providing power-generation equipment, engines, and field service. Direct overlap with Poly Diesel's Cummins genset and engine distribution plus MRO model, though Eneria serves mainland France rather than island markets.
• Fenwick-Linde: Linde Material Handling's French subsidiary and Poly Diesen's own forklift brand partner. Direct peer in forklift, warehouse equipment, and intralogistics sales, rental, and maintenance, operating the same one-stop-shop commercial model.
• Tractafric Equipment: Caterpillar distributor across multiple African countries providing equipment sales, rental, and aftermarket services in remote geographies. Strong analog to Poly Diesen's island-territory multi-OEM distribution and MRO model.
• Dubreuil (Groupe Dubreuil): French overseas-territories distributor of industrial and construction equipment, including Cat lines in the Caribbean and Indian Ocean. Highly comparable to Poly Diesel's role as a multi-OEM equipment distributor serving remote island geographies with full after-sales support.
• Bergerat Monnoyeur: Exclusive Caterpillar dealer in France for construction equipment, power systems, and material handling, with full sales/rental/maintenance/spare-parts offering. Closest comparable to Poly Diesel's multi-OEM industrial equipment distribution and MRO model.
