FranceStrategy and Finance Kiloutou affirms its ambitions in the events and sports market with the launch of a dedicated division: Kiloutou Sport & Event

Kiloutou has taken another step forward in its diversification strategy with the launch of Kiloutou Sport & Event, a new entity entirely dedicated to providing logistics and equipment support to professionals in the sector. This new activity combines the offering of Kiloutou’s generalist network with that of its four specialist subsidiaries to provide a comprehensive solution for professionals in these two markets.

A strategic position in a promising market

Building on the momentum of the 2024 summer sporting events, Kiloutou is accelerating its development in the events sector, which is considered a growth area for the Group. With the support of its equipment offering – the largest on the market with around 1,000 items – and its extensive network, the company is present throughout France with 500 branches. Kiloutou aims to position itself as a trusted local partner for event organisers.

Kiloutou is able to offer a unique integrated solution on the market, combining logistical power, operational responsiveness and cutting-edge technical expertise. Kiloutou Sport & Event will position itself as an aggregator of expertise, bringing together in a single offering the expertise of the generalist network, which supports events with tooling and lifting solutions in particular, and the four specialist subsidiaries:

A major player in temporary power supply and pumping

Specialist in modular construction with tailored solutions ranging from simple accommodation to complex multi-storey base camps.

Specialist in road signage, display equipment, marking and ground protection.

Specialist in event and reception logistics.

“As part of its strategic plan for 2030, and alongside its flagship construction and public works activities, the Kiloutou Group is focusing on diversifying its business. Like major civil engineering projects, railways and industrial and service activities, which will continue to offer us opportunities for development, events and sporting competitions are key growth drivers for Kiloutou.”

Pierre Knoché, Managing Director France

A high-impact partnership to embody the project’s values

To accompany this launch, Kiloutou is announcing a partnership with Arthur Meurisse, a promising young French sailor who will be representing Kiloutou Sport & Event in several prestigious competitions in 2025, including the Solitaire du Figaro in September.

Sailing requires absolute rigour, optimal resource management and the ability to anticipate every situation. This is exactly what Kiloutou Sport & Event stands for: providing reliable and precise logistics solutions to ensure the success of every project.
