DISCOVER EQUISTONE PARTNERS EUROPE About Groupe GSCM With founding company Solfab and empowered by three acquisitions between 2015 and 2019 (Bodard and CNSE), the Group is now the third manufacturer in modular construction in France and the leading French manufacturer of rolling shelters for building sites (c. 8,300 modules manufactured per year). Groupe GSCM’s services include designing, manufacturing, selling, transporting and installing modular buildings of all sizes. Leveraging an extensive national footprint, GSCM prefabricates modules in five production sites across France – in Nantes, Les Sables-d'Olonne, Metz and Lyon (x2) – and transports them to on-site locations where they are assembled, where required, and installed. Modular construction distinguishes itself from traditional construction via quicker and more reliable delivery, and limited construction costs without compromising on thermal and acoustic insulation or energy efficiency standards. With its use of low-carbon materials, GSCM’s buildings already meet the objectives of the new RE2020 standard, which aims to reduce the environmental impact of new buildings by taking into account all carbon emissions over the building's life cycle from the moment of its construction to its end of life. The Group, which reported revenues of €67.7 million in 2020, currently employs over 300 people.
