What coris networks does

Coris Networks is a French specialty distributor of IP components and IT infrastructure, founded in 2016 as the South-West regional entity of the Elendil cabling distributor network and headquartered in Castelculier (Lot-et-Garonne). The company sells copper and fiber-optic VDI cabling, 19-inch racks and data center infrastructure, industrial Ethernet, Ethernet switches and media converters, wireless (including WiFi 6), IP telephony (Yeastar, 2N, Akuvox), and cable testing/measurement equipment through authorized distributor partnerships with manufacturers including Excel Networking, Kerpen Datacom, Draka (Prysmian), Metz Connect, Acome, Ensto, TP-Link, and Trend Networks. It also offers emergency lighting blocks via BLOC.TECH.

The business is operated from an 800 m² warehouse in Agen with a relay point in Toulouse, holding nearly 600 SKUs valued at approximately €300k. Coris Networks sells primarily to installers, electrical installers, network integrators, enterprise/SMB customers, and building project stakeholders, with the company's own field sales team providing pre-sales technical studies, RFP responses, on-site configuration, turnkey commissioning, certification, and maintenance. Revenue mechanics are B2B hardware distribution with ancillary services (audits, training, equipment rental/financing, certification), and pricing is quote-based rather than publicly disclosed; the company advertises 24h delivery in the Grand Sud-Ouest (Toulouse, Agen, Pau, Bordeaux) and 48h nationwide delivery.

The company is structured as a SAS with €10,000 share capital, is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, and is led by Présidente Corinne Constantin alongside executive Régis de Prada. Recent strategic activity has focused on regulatory alignment (Cca/B2ca cables for ERP/IGH compliance), new manufacturer partnerships (Kerpen Bronze status, ACOME fire-safety cables), and product-line expansion into emergency lighting — broadening the catalog beyond pure networking into adjacent building-safety categories.

Direct peers

• Elendil: French cabling distributor headquartered in Grenoble and Lyon that created Coris Networks as its South-West entity in 2016. Elendil distributes the same categories (copper, fiber optic, FTTH/FTTO) and serves as the closest direct peer in product offering and customer base.
• Reichle & De-Massari (R&M): Swiss-based manufacturer of structured cabling systems (copper and fiber) with global distribution serving the same installer and data center customer base as Coris. Comparable as a specialist cabling brand competing for the same projects in French-speaking markets.

Broad incumbents

• Rexel: French leader in professional distribution of electrical, lighting, security, and energy management products, with growing network/IT infrastructure exposure. Rexel is the dominant broadline distributor competing for the same installer and integrator customers, but at vastly greater scale and with broader categories.
• Sonepar: Global B-to-B distributor of electrical products, solutions, and related services with significant operations in France. Sonepar competes for the same electrical installer and network integrator customers with deeper financing, logistics, and portfolio breadth.
• Legrand: French global specialist in electrical and digital building infrastructure, including structured cabling (LCS3), racks, PDUs, and connectivity. Legrand manufactures many of the product categories Coris distributes and competes downstream via its own channel programs.
• Schneider Electric: French multinational providing energy management and automation solutions, including the Actassi structured cabling line, EcoStruxure data center infrastructure, and UPS products that overlap directly with Coris's portfolio at the high end.
• Hager Group: European manufacturer of electrical installations and building automation, including structured cabling solutions and cable management systems. Overlaps with Coris in distribution channels and end customers (electrical installers and integrators) across France and Europe.
• SPIE ICS: French digital services and infrastructure subsidiary of SPIE, providing network design, deployment, and managed services to enterprise customers. SPIE ICS competes for similar end-customer projects where cabling infrastructure is bundled with integration and managed services.
