What Toussaint does
Groupe Toussaint SAS is a privately held, family-controlled (Jarolimeck, 3rd/4th generation) professional hygiene and cleaning-products distributor headquartered in Woustviller, Lorraine, with share capital of €400,000. The company acts as an independent multi-brand integrator, distributing more than 13,000 product references from principals including Essity (Tork), Kimberly-Clark Professional, Ecolab, and Diversey, and serving over 100,000 clients across five verticals: Collectivités, HoReCa, Santé-Médical, Industries-GSA/GSB, and Entreprises de Propreté.
Operations span five sites in north-eastern France and Luxembourg with more than 12,000 m² of warehousing, a company-owned delivery fleet, and a 48-hour guaranteed delivery SLA. Group-wide headcount is reported at approximately 600, with the French operating entity accounting for around 100 collaborators. Purchasing power and international reach are anchored by long-standing membership in the ADISCO national alliance and the INPACS international alliance. The commercial model is quote-based per account, with pricing tied to volume, specification, and integrated service scope.
In December 2024 the firm inaugurated a Woustviller-based Innovation Center showcasing GAUSIUM autonomous cleaning robots, extending the offering from consumables into capital equipment and robotics services. The group holds EcoVadis Platinum (2024), ISO 9001, ISO 14001, EU Ecolabel, EMAS, Cradle to Cradle, and Ecocert certifications, positioning it for ESG-weighted public and corporate tenders. Headcount and revenue figures are inconsistent across available sources, and no consolidated revenue is disclosed.
