Technibelt

What Technibelt does

TECHNIBELT S.A.S. is a French custom-equipment manufacturer founded in 1993 by Jacques Maupiler and headquartered in Argentan, Normandy. The company designs, fabricates, and installs equestrian infrastructure — including box partitions, sliding and swinging doors, facades, fencing, gates, and drainage systems — alongside stable equipment (rubber flooring, feeders, hay racks, solariums, blankets), breeding equipment (mounting mannequins, gynecological bars, artificial vaginas), veterinary equipment (examination stalls, perfusion stands, stretchers, recovery box protections), and coachbuilder/transport rubber products. Customers span racehorse trainers, sport-horse breeders, equestrian centers, private owners, equine clinics, hippodromes, and horse-transport coachbuilders across France, Belgium, Switzerland, and select international clients such as the King of Morocco's clinic.

The company's technological core rests on proprietary rubber compounding — notably its exclusive watertight rubber flooring (Caoutchouc étanche) used across stall boxes, wash areas, and clinics — and a unique mixed-resin mounting mannequin with left- or right-central sampling for stallion semen collection, described as a TECHNIBELT exclusive and self-declared European leadership position. Production is vertically integrated through on-site Normandy workshops, with an in-house Pôle Innovation et R&D and a 3D visualization workflow that allows customers to render their project before fabrication begins. Notable contract references include installation of 12,000 m² of K16 rubber flooring across five venues for the 2014 FEI World Equestrian Games and a 2023 construction of 300 boxes for France's national stud farm (Haras national du Pin).

The business operates a project-based direct-sales model with quote-based pricing and no public list price, supplemented by short- and long-term rental of obstacle equipment (rivers and bidets). Go-to-market is sales-led, anchored by sustained presence at industry events (CSI Deauville, Equita Lyon, Salon des Etalons du Lion d'Angers, Grand Prix d'Amérique, FENO) and supported by channel partnerships with Patura (German equipment integration) and Pôle Hippolia (competitiveness cluster). The company is privately held and founder/family-controlled, with approximately 20 employees and ~€3 million in revenue as last disclosed in 2017.
