What MARCONNET TECHNOLOGIES™ does

MARCONNET TECHNOLOGIES™ is a France-based private SARL (RCS Versailles, €15,000 stated capital), founded in 2004 and headquartered in Épernon, that specializes in the distribution of adapted mobility equipment for people with reduced mobility. Operating from a 250 m² showroom and a 140 m² workshop, the company curates a catalog of 70+ products sourced exclusively from leading European manufacturers — Stricker (handbikes, including the chainless Smart Free with Bike-by-Wire electronic transmission and Z-Wheel suspension), vanRaam (therapeutic and transport tricycles including the award-winning Thuja), Maddiline (high-performance handbikes), Hase Bikes (tandems and tricycles), HP Velotechnik (recumbent bikes and tricycles, recently added in 2025), Moving Life (electric scooters), Triobike/Bakfiets/Draisin (cargo and utility trikes), and Vipamat/Chaland Palmieri (all-terrain wheelchairs).

The company makes money primarily through hardware sales (adapted tricycles, handbikes, scooters, all-terrain wheelchairs, and cargo trikes) to individuals and to healthcare and municipal buyers, complemented by short-term rental, repair and maintenance services (including annual maintenance packages), a used-equipment line, and a financing offering through a partnership with LOCAM. Insurance is provided through a partnership with Neat Mobility, and an Île-de-France Mobilités (Véligo Location / Maisons du Vélo) relationship provides a public-sector rental trial pathway. Go-to-market combines a sales-led approach with a direct showroom and a mobile demonstration service, event participation (Handica Lyon), content marketing and SEO, and a national network of specialized medical equipment retailers and independent passionate resellers supported by a professional portal. Named clients include large French healthcare groups (KORIAN, DOMUSVI, Emeis, VYV Equipement Medical, Bastide, Cap Vital Santé, Distri Club Medical, Medicalliance) and disability-focused non-profits (ADAPEI 72, Perce Neige, Fondation Anais).
