SOMEDIS HYGIENE

What SOMEDIS HYGIENE does

Somedis Hygiène is a French B2B distributor of professional hygiene and cleaning products, founded in 2021 and headquartered in Aubagne, with a second regional office in Castelnau-le-Lez. The company serves businesses and institutions across the Occitanie and PACA regions of southern France, operating through an e-commerce platform with express ordering complemented by two dedicated regional sales agencies. Its catalog spans floor and surface cleaners, disinfectants, kitchen and laundry supplies, body hygiene products, personal protective equipment, waste collection solutions (including DASRI-compliant bags), and professional cleaning equipment (autolaveuses, aspirateurs, nettoyeurs vapeur), distributed under premium sub-brands such as KATRIN Inclusive, MOERMAN, DELTA Microfibre, VILEDA Professionnel, and PROQUIMIA, alongside Ecolabel- and Ecocert-certified environmentally responsible products. The company offers the SASHA mobile application, developed by partner Experhygia, which provides traceability, quality control, and audit facilitation for cleaning agents and their supervisors.

The business operates on a B2B unit-pricing, quote-based model with pay-as-you-go billing and a 48-72 hour delivery guarantee without backorder items. Customer segments include professional cleaning companies, healthcare facilities, food service operators, and public institutions/collectivities, with vertical-specific compliance supported (HACCP, DASRI/NFX 30-501, Ecolabel/Ecocert). Marketing is conducted through the e-commerce storefront, a hygiene-focused blog, newsletter subscriptions, and field-based regional account managers. The company sources exclusively from French manufacturing partners, and positions "Made in France," competitive stable pricing, and proximity logistics as its principal value propositions.

Somedis Hygiène is privately held with no disclosed external funding, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no M&A activity. With a reported headcount of 8 employees, the company is a small, operationally focused regional distributor. The competitive set is fragmented, and Somedis differentiates primarily through its regional agency density and its premium-brand portfolio rather than through technology or scale.
