What art-dan does

ART-DAN is a French specialty construction company that designs and installs sports surfaces and landscaped outdoor spaces for public sector and private clients. Founded in 1976 by surveyor Alain Dany in Nantes and now headquartered in Aigremont (Ile-de-France), the company operates as SAS ART-DAN, a privately-held société par actions simplifiée. Core offerings include synthetic turf systems (manufactured by its wholly-owned subsidiary EUROFIELD), prefabricated rubber athletics tracks (notably MONDO Sportflex, used at Paris 2024 Olympic venues), indoor sports flooring (rubber, PVC, parquet, linoleum, poured resin), golf course and equestrian facility construction, and urban landscaping. Innovation products include ASB Glassfloor illuminated glass sports surfaces, ASB Lumiflex video-projection floors, and InteractiveSquash courts distributed from German manufacturer ASB.

The business operates as a B2B contractor selling primarily to French municipalities and local governments, with additional work for sports clubs, property developers, and event organizers. Revenue is earned through project-based public procurement contracts and direct private commissions, with individual project values ranging from approximately €397,000 to €6.25M. Distribution is conducted exclusively through five regional agencies (Nantes, Paris/Ile-de-France, Agen, Valence, Aigremont) staffed by sales engineers and project managers who respond to appels d'offres (competitive tenders). The company maintains a wholly-owned turf manufacturing subsidiary (EUROFIELD) and equipment distribution subsidiary (Pourlepro), providing partial vertical integration into materials supply. Marketing relies on trade shows (Salon des Maires), the company website, and word-of-mouth within municipal networks. The capital structure is privately held with no identified external investors, and no app, API, or software layer exists in the offering.
