B2B distributor of building materials and trade supplies across nine product categories
Legallais is an independent distributor of materials for the construction and trades market, operating across nine product categories with 60,000+ SKUs and 700 supplier partnerships. The tech stack reveals infrastructure-focused maturity: PostgreSQL, ERP, Python, and GCP underpinning catalog and order operations, with active adoption of BigQuery signaling deeper analytics and data-driven pricing decisions. Sales-heavy hiring (34 open roles) paired with infrastructure leadership (production director) and emerging data investment suggests a push toward omnichannel B2B digital experience while managing rapid scaling.
Notable leadership hires: Production infrastructure director, Logistics Team Lead
Legallais distributes construction, plumbing, electrical, climate-control, and furniture materials to professional buyers across France and Europe. Founded in 1889, the company maintains 1,001–5,000 employees and operates from headquarters in Hérouville Saint Clair, Normandy. The business spans nine trade verticals with proprietary and exclusive brands (Itecma, Acopex Alu, Jacuzzi Rubinetteria, and others), custom services including work-wear configuration and cylinder manufacturing, and certified sustainability commitments (AFAQ 26000 Exemplaire, ISO 9001-14001, ISO 50001, EcoVadis Platinum). Near-term priorities center on e-commerce optimization, B2B catalog integration (EDI, punchout), tender-process structuring, and a new distribution center opening in Le Havre.
PostgreSQL, ERP, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and BigQuery for data analytics. The stack includes EDI for supply-chain integration, Strapi for catalog content, and Looker Studio for reporting. Currently adopting BigQuery for deeper transaction and pricing analytics.
Primarily France, with secondary hiring in India and the United States. Most roles remain France-based given the Normandy headquarters and European B2B distribution footprint.
