The Elcia Group opens its capital to its employees

Begun in 1, the history of ELCIA is made up of great successes: from the launch of ProDevis, the whole 999^er specialized carpentry costing software, up to the creation of a digital chain with production, including the arrival of ISIA, RAMASOFT, AlloTools and Revel'Home in the adventure. Great successes, but always respecting the values ​​of the Group.

Among them : the well-being, fulfillment, development of its employees and their involvement to always better satisfy its customers.

A strong commitment to its employees, rewarded with six consecutive HappyAtWork labels, making the ELCIA Group one of the best French companies in which to work. A beautiful story that began a new chapter in early 2023 when the Group has opened up the company's capital to all of its employees.

A beautiful story of more than 20 years… which has only just begun!

These 24 years of existence have seen the TPE reinvent the Joinery, Blinds and Closures market to become the No. 1 French publisher with more than 27 million euros in turnover and nearly 250 employees divided between Brignais and Tarbes. And to think that everything was born from an idea of ​​Franck COUTURIEUX, who when younger, wanted to find a solution by seeing his carpenter parents spend their evenings and weekends making their estimates!

« Looking back, it's amazing to see what we've accomplished thanks to our teams. Unimaginable 20 years ago! introduces Edouard Catrice, Managing Director of the ELCIA Group. And it's not over, there is still so much to do! We now want to associate our teams even more closely with all the successes of tomorrow! »

While a system of profit-sharing bonuses, both generous and egalitarian, has already been in place in the company for more than 10 years, each employee will now be able to invest their bonuses in a Group shareholder FCPE and thus benefit from the tax advantages offered by the PEE. The share of capital held by employees will increase every year, as their participation is paid out.

« Sharing value with our teams has always been important to us, says Edouard CATRICE. 73% of eligible employees wanted to invest in their company, which is higher than the best hoped-for scenarios! It's an honor to have them by our side, an immense pride! »

With this opening to the company's capital, ELCIA intends to give an even stronger dimension of commitment and collaboration to its great entrepreneurial adventure. " This will allow each employee to give ever more meaning to their involvement and their investment in a company in which they themselves are shareholders, continues Edouard CATRICE.

And given its roadmap, the program is most exciting! But this new chapter must be written with more environmental responsibility, which is particularly close to the heart of the two leaders.

« If we want to continue to strengthen our leadership position, it is now strategic for our Group to succeed in finding the right balance between economic sustainability and ecological commitment.. As a company, we have a duty to reinvent our models and change our behavior. We want to set an example in this area, so that our employees and their families are proud of the company... If we could inspire our customers and partners in this process, it would be a real success! For Edouard and me, this is a sine qua non condition if we want to remain a pioneering company! » explains Franck COUTURIEUX, Chairman and Founder of the ELCIA Group
