PROTECH INDUSTRIE

What PROTECH INDUSTRIE does

PROTECH INDUSTRIE SARL is a French privately held (SARL) automotive spare parts specialist headquartered in Chemaudin-et-Vaux, near Besançon, France (RCS Besançon 520 172 875). Founded circa 2008, the company develops and distributes remanufactured and new electrical and mechanical replacement parts exclusively to automotive professionals (garages, mechanics, and parts distributors). The catalog is divided into two cores: electrical products (alternators, starters, ignition coils) and mechanical products (rear axles, drive shafts/CV joints, and brake calipers, with 360 SKUs in brake calipers alone). Parts are offered in three conditions — exchange standard (core exchange), renovated (remanufactured), or new — giving professional buyers flexibility across technical and price requirements.

The business operates on a B2B transactional model. Sales are conducted through the company's own e-commerce storefront (protechindustrie.com), which requires a professional account with SIREN verification, and through the TecCom electronic ordering platform for express and stock orders. TecDoc integration provides vehicle-part compatibility data. Distribution is national across France via a partner depot network — principally GPI and Autolia — with small-parcel delivery handled by Ciblex (cut-off 15:30) and Chronopost (cut-off 17:00). The company is privately held by its founders/management with no institutional investors, no funding rounds, no M&A, and no parent or subsidiary structure disclosed. Headcount is 5, and revenue is not publicly disclosed. Operations are domestic, with no geographic expansion signals beyond France.
