What SECMAIR Fayat Group does

SECMAIR is a French manufacturer of specialized road maintenance equipment, founded in 1981 in Cossé-le-Vivien (Pays de la Loire) and wholly-owned by the FAYAT Group since 2008. The company designs and produces a comprehensive portfolio organized into seven product families: sprayers (bitumen emulsion application), spreaders (aggregate distribution), chipsealers (synchronous binder-and-aggregate application — invented by SECMAIR in 1983 with 1,500+ units in global operation), microsurfacing machines (Breining brand), patchers, melters/crack sealers, and storage/production equipment. Core technology centers on computer-controlled dosage systems, thermal insulation for binder handling, and IDDRIM-certified test bench facilities. THE BOX, launched in 2022, represents the first fully electric bitumen emulsion sprayer, certified Origine France Garantie in May 2026.

SECMAIR generates revenue primarily through direct enterprise hardware sales of custom-configured equipment (50+ options per machine), supplemented by aftermarket recurring streams including spare parts (10,000+ references, 95% availability, 24h delivery in France/48h in Europe), after-sales service (9-technician hotline covering France and Germany), equipment rental, and operator training programs. Go-to-market is field-sales led through regional sales representatives and wholly-owned subsidiaries in Germany (Breining microsurfacing), USA (Fort Mill), England, and Oceania (Brisbane), serving road construction companies, maintenance contractors, and government/public works departments across 120+ countries. With 132 employees and 224 machines manufactured in 2023, 44% of revenue derives from export markets.

The company positions itself as the European market leader in road maintenance equipment, holding category-defining IP in synchronous chipsealing technology and accumulating 40+ years of domain expertise in surface dressing, tack coat application, and pothole repair. Customer concentration is anchored by large enterprise contractors such as Colas alongside a long tail of regional public works contractors across France, Europe, North America, Oceania, and emerging markets.
