2023 was another record year for the Loxam Group: sales exceeded 2.6 billion euros, up 6.2% on 2022, and the billion euro mark was passed in the French market alone, with growth of 6.6%. The Group has thus consolidated its position as Europe's No. 1 and the world's No. 4 rental company. " 2023 was a year of sustained growth. After an exceptional performance in 2022, we continued to grow in 2023 in aparticularly complex environment, marked by persistent inflation and the rise in interest rates that severely disrupted the construction market. For the first time, we recorded sales in excess of one billion euros in France. This performance, repeated year after year, demonstrates the solidity of the Loxam model, our unrivalled expertise, and our ability to respond ever more effectively to our customers' expectations " commented Gérard Déprez, Chairman of the Group.
70,000 items of equipment in the Elevation division
With more than 70,000 pieces of equipment, the Elevation division remains the Group's predominant activity, and it continues to invest in it, mainly in alternative-energy models, which account for 60% of investment.
Another remarkable performance for the Loxam Group: a 24% reduction in accidents for the Group as a whole and a 38% reduction in France by 2023. " Safety remains a priority for the company. This year, we are reaping the rewards of past investments, with a major drop in accidents linked to our operations," notes Stéphane Hénon, Managing Director of Loxam.
In 2024, the Group anticipates further moderate growth in sales, driven in particular by the dynamism of public works and civil engineering. It will also benefit from business generated by the two major contracts won for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games: the supply of all products and services related to the production and distribution of temporary energy at all Olympic venues, and the supply of a thousand temporary modules at the Paris venues.
