Rector is structuring itself to accelerate the development of its concrete framework activity by creating “Rector Charpentes et Ossatures”

To meet growing demand in this market and become the leading supplier of prefabricated frames in France, Rector is structuring itself and strengthening its “Frames and Frames” team in order to offer a complete range of products and services respecting its CSR commitments.

As part of the France 2030 investment plan aimed, among other things, at reindustrialization, many industrial buildings are necessary in France. At the same time, the growth of online sales is favoring the establishment of new logistics platforms. For the construction of this type of structure, the prefabricated concrete frame and framework system, which can be combined with other materials, is often popular for its suitability for handling heavy loads, its fire resistance and its speed of implementation.

It is in this context that Rector, which benefits from great expertise in this field, wanted to redeploy its strengths by setting up a dedicated team, Frames and Frames, in order to offer its clients a turnkey service, the pre-study for installation. It draws on Rector’s R&D, industrial and supply chain resources.

Led by Didier Jozwick, who has been with the company for 30 years, and Julien Corbineau, operational director of this segment, the team is currently made up of around twenty engineers, design technicians and salespeople spread across France.

Rector Charpentes et Ossatures relies particularly on the production sites of Voreppe (Isère), Celles/Belle (Deux-Sèvres) and Dangé-St-Romain (Vienne). The offer currently made up of beams, posts, pre-slabs or hollow core slabs will soon be supplemented by a range of fire walls, ribbed floors for heavy loads, and maxi-posts.

Through its Frames and Frames team, Rector wishes to:

• generalize the use of optimized “low carbon” concrete formulations and promote systems mixing materials (glued laminated wood/concrete) to actively contribute to reducing the carbon impact of the finished building;
• offer a customer journey from design to installation to guarantee quality and monitoring of projects which are often large-scale (mega factories, large logistics platforms);
• have a structural design office capable of creating buildings with different levels with load-bearing capacity to reduce their footprint and avoid their artificialization (multi-level building).

For Didier Jozwick: “Thanks to ongoing developments and the establishment of effective partnerships, Rector will be able, from 2025, to offer complete solutions for mixed concrete/wood frames, and to market frames for multi-level logistics buildings. »
