What Loxam does

Loxam is a privately held French equipment rental company operating as LOXAM SAS and headquartered in Caudan, France, with general management at Puteaux La Défense. The company rents construction equipment, modular buildings, tools, and specialized machinery to professional customers (BTP, industry, events) and individual consumers (DIY, gardening) through a nationwide French branch network, an online reservation platform at loxam.fr, and seven specialized divisions — Loxam TP (heavy earthworks/demolition), Loxam Access (aerial work platforms up to 70 meters), Loxam Event (event logistics), Loxam Power (industrial power and climate), Loxam Module (modular buildings), Loxam Laho Tec (suspended platforms and formwork), and Loxam Formation (professional training).

The platform is built around an equipment catalog spanning eight categories (professional tools, green spaces, transport/handling, elevation, earthworks/roads, demolition/structural, electrical energy/fluids, temporary installations/security), with duration-based pricing tiers (1-day, 2-6 days, 7+ days, weekend), real-time branch availability, delivery or pickup options, online account management with personalized professional pricing, and a damage-waiver insurance product (Garantie Dommages) covering 85% of damage costs at 12% of rental fee. The industrial and events divisions operate 24/7 technical support with ISO 14001 and MASE certifications enabling intervention on sensitive sites.

Revenue is generated through rental fees on a pay-as-you-go basis, equipment and consumables sales (Loxam Vente), and the recurring damage-guarantee service. Loxam is self-described as the #1 equipment rental company in Europe for BTP, industry, and events. In July 2026, the company issued a €1.05 billion dual-tranche euro bond (€600M 5-year + €450M 6-year), indicating access to debt capital markets as a private issuer; ownership structure beyond the registered share capital of €221.6 million is not disclosed in the source data.
