The French industrialist LRVision doubles its operating surface and strengthens its development in France and Europe

The new 4.000 m2 buildings allow the French manufacturer to double its operating area, thus giving it new prospects: well-being of its employees and reduction of hardship, increase in its production and storage capacity, strengthening of its quality controls, extension of its R&D laboratory, etc.

These are all factors that will contribute to the development of LRVision in the medium term. The company wishes to strengthen its presence on the market for local authorities and major projects - its floor coverings responding in particular to the problems of soil dewatering - but also to turn to new European markets.

New premises to support growth of +30% on average over the past 10 years

The premises invested by the LRVision teams in recent months allow the company to now have:

• 2.760 m2 of warehouses: dedicated to manufacturing, logistics and practical training space.
• 940 m2 dedicated to offices, laboratory, relaxation areas and training rooms.

This extension is the realization of the significant development experienced by the company in recent years. In particular, it has seen its production volume double in the space of 4 years. As a result, its workforce has more than tripled in 5 years, reaching 40 employees today.

For Guillaume Lemaire, Co-Founder of LRVision: “We have experienced an average growth of 30% per year over the past ten years. It therefore made sense to continue our industrialization both to increase our production capacity and meet the growing demand for permeable soils, to provide more service to our customers thanks to the integration of the logistics department, but also to contribute to reduce the hardship for our teams. We took advantage of this move to modernize and automate some of our production tools. Also, we have integrated an environmental component into the project, with for example the installation of photovoltaic panels on the roof. »

The new buildings of LRVision represent an investment of 3,8 million euros on the land part, supplemented by 1 million euros of investments (with the support of the Occitania Region and BPI France) for the modernization of the equipment of industrial production.

New development prospects for LRVision

For the years to come, LRVision wishes to continue to open up to the markets of local authorities and major projects, which already represent 20% of its turnover.

For Guillaume Lemaire: “To meet the expectations of these major players, we must be able to produce better, faster, while storing more: our new premises represent a real lever to meet these new expectations. Our products are of interest to communities because they are resistant and provide a concrete response to new environmental requirements by promoting the water cycle. Our customers have carried out numerous waterproofing projects for schoolyards in recent years, campsites, hotel complexes, etc. »

LRVision is also heavily invested in research and development projects that are part of its DNA, with an R&D laboratory that has doubled in size. It is indeed innovation that has enabled it to become a market leader.

In this perspective, LRVision conducts research projects aimed at the creation of new materials in order to meet the need to develop and dewaterproof all types of soil, whatever their uses.

In the medium term, LRVision wishes to continue the deployment of its activities in Europe, in close export. Currently present in Belgium, Switzerland and Spain, the Italian market is currently being structured.
