Ilon Material from Perpignan (Pyrénées-Orientales) continues its strong growth.
This small company offers metal formwork for XXL concrete formwork on large building and public works sites.
For sale and especially for rental, a formula that construction site operators love!
“We have doubled our stock of shutters, going from 6,000 to 12,000 m2, but we are encountering a storage space problem on our plot in Perpignan.
We have obtained half of an additional plot, 5,000 m2, but this is very insufficient to cope with our current growth and the development of our order books in Île-de-France and in the South-East.
So, currently we are participating in the construction of a huge retention basin in the city of Marseille,” says Sylvia Casset, the general director of Ilon Material, a company founded by her brother-in-law Onur Pekgoz in 2017 and has since developed at the speed of 'a galloping horse.
Heading for the Eure
Ilon Material had been classified by the Financial Times as the most successful company in the construction sector in Europe with the incredible growth index of 1111% recorded between 2018 and 2020. Unable to expand locally, the managers decided to open a new operating center in the northern half of France, in Normandy.
We settle in Ruglés in Eure, a small town of 3,500 inhabitants located on the outskirts of L'Aigle, between Argentan and Dreux.
“The sale of the land has been signed and we are now in the process of completing plans to construct the administrative buildings.
We have a 4 ha plot located 75 minutes drive from Paris via Versailles.
We received an enthusiastic welcome on site and real support from economic players and elected officials who act as facilitators for our establishment.
What changes from Perpignan.
We hope that this second production center will be operational in 2025. Our growth depends on it,” continues Sylvia Casset, the general director.
For 2024, it still promises good growth with an expected turnover of 3.5 million euros compared to 2.9 million euros the previous year.
On construction sites, from now on, those involved have become accustomed to spotting the color code (Ral 3 020) the same as that of Ferrari.
