Kiloutou has kept on growing despite the economic crisis. Against all odds and thanks to a strategy of organic and external growth, our total revenue has doubled since 2009. Our product line has grown more diverse and now offers new specializations. We raised our standards of requirements and our professionalism. Our new visual identity is the face of what Kiloutou stands for: modernity and professionalism.
In 2017, we are witnessing the recovery of the construction market. The overall dynamic is positive and Kiloutou is gaining tremendous momentum. The crisis has made us stronger and more prepared.
This positive dynamic is clearly linked with Kiloutou’s corporate culture — the very culture that allowed the company to be certified Top Employer for the last 3 years. The Group has been around for 35 years but it keeps on growing, notably in foreign markets. This dynamic would have been impossible without all the Kiloutou team members who contribute their experience and energy to ensure the quality of our customer service. It is a source of pride for all of us.
We keep innovating to improve customer experience. In 2016, Kiloutou launched a new insurance scheme in partnership with AXA and its clients. This insurance hedges our clients against all risks (theft, machinery breakdown, accidents, and various damages). It is therefore much more reassuring than market warranties. This insurance received a very positive response as the number of subscription far exceeded our expectations! New digital technologies and connected objects also offer amazing opportunities to improve customer experience. The Kiloutou app that we launched this year is a beautiful example of such improvement.
In 2017, we remain focused and dedicated to offer the best experience to our clients and to further the expansion of the Group”
