What ewiglass france does

Ewiglass France is a franchise network for automotive glass repair and replacement, operating across France under the legal entity SAS EWIGLASS DEVELOPPEMENT (incorporated 2023, share capital €5,000). Founded by Anthony Petitprez, Vincent Malfoy, and Florent Barboteau (founder of the EWIGO France franchise network) as a brand-license spin-off of EWIGO, the company provides windshield replacement, impact and crack repair using UV resin, lateral window repair, and ADAS camera recalibration for vehicles with integrated driver-assistance systems. The network targets individual car owners through direct-to-consumer channels, with an emphasis on insured drivers whose glass breakage coverage is accepted from all major French insurers.

The business operates on a franchise model, with approximately 10 centers in the process of opening across 4 cities in France and a reference center in Eysines (Bordeaux area). Differentiating customer-experience features include a €150 franchise/deductible waiver for insured clients, free courtesy vehicles (refundable €1,000 deposit), valet pickup and delivery, a 2-minute online booking system, and direct insurance billing with no advance payment. Pricing is per-transaction and varies by vehicle and glass specification; revenue is generated from service fees at the franchise level and franchise/license fees at the network level.

Ewiglass pursues demand generation through organic digital channels (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, SEO) and educational blog content around windshield care, positioning itself with transparent pricing rather than promotional gifts. As a 2023 spin-off of the established EWIGO automotive franchise network, the company inherits operational know-how and brand credibility from its parent network while building a focused, independent identity in automotive glass.
