About GROUPE LDLC

GROUPE LDLC is a leading French specialist retailer focused on IT, high-tech and, more recently, adjacent consumer categories. Founded in January 1996 by Laurent de la Clergerie in Lyon, the company was built on an early conviction that online commerce would become a major retail channel at a time when the internet was still in its infancy. The business began as a family venture, with Laurent joined by his sister Caroline and his brother Olivier, and has since evolved into a listed multi-brand group. Today, LDLC presents itself as France’s leading e-commerce player in computer and high-tech distribution. The group’s business model is based on an omnichannel approach that combines digital platforms with a physical store network. Its historical core is LDLC.com, which sells computer hardware, components, peripherals, multimedia products and accessories. LDLC also built LDLC.pro, a dedicated channel for businesses, public institutions and resellers, and later expanded through acquisitions to strengthen its market reach and product breadth. Key additions include Materiel.net, BIMP, TopAchat and Rue du Commerce, the latter joining the group in 2024. The group also operates in childcare retail through L’Armoire de Bébé, while maintaining related activities in education and services. Competitively, GROUPE LDLC stands out for its extensive assortment, integrated logistics platform and customer-service orientation. The company highlights more than 900 brands, around 40,000 SKUs, up to 25,000 parcels shipped per day and approximately 1,000 employees. Its physical network includes 88 LDLC stores, of which 54 are franchised, with a stated ambition to reach a nationwide network of around one hundred stores. These locations complement the online model by offering advice, custom PC assembly, repairs and local service. Geographically, the group remains primarily France-based but also has a presence in Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Spain and Italy, along with an English-language website. For fiscal year 2024-2025, consolidated revenue reached €534.5 million, confirming its scale in specialized retail. Notable features of the group include its distinctive management culture, notably the introduction of a four-day working week for employees of Groupe LDLC starting in January 2021, and its commitment to training through L’École LDLC.
