Bertolotto: a future of growth in France with the acquisition of CLF Portes Design
July 11, 2024 | Bertolotto, a leader in the production of Italian-made doors, is pleased to announce the acquisition of the French company CLF Portes Design. The agreement was officially signed by the two CEOs, Claudio Bertolotto and Jean Luc Marchand. With this acquisition, Bertolotto strengthens the role of Bertolotto France, the group's brand dedicated to the overseas market, which will have a new operational base in Antibes, where CLF has its operational base, logistical platforms, and a prestigious showroom. The French Riviera thus becomes the launching pad for Bertolotto France in conquering the French door market.
Bertolotto, already the largest exporter of Made in Italy doors to France, doubles its market volume thanks to the acquisition of CLF's commercial network. Starting from the confirmation of Jean Luc Marchand, at the helm of CLF, all structures and staff of the French brand will be retained, with the aim of increasing both the logistics and operational headquarters, in terms of structures and personnel. A prestigious calling card for this new reality will be the largest showroom of internal doors in the French Riviera, the flagship of CLF.
Claudio Bertolotto, CEO of the Bertolotto Group, states: "This acquisition strengthens Bertolotto's international vision. The creation of sister companies dedicated to foreign markets such as Bertolotto France and Bertolotto Inc in the USA allows us not only to open new markets, but to do so while maintaining the high quality that sets us apart. A quality made up of products proudly and entirely Italian, but also of services, logistics, and above all human relationships to be created and nurtured on the territory." "The philosophy of CLF," - adds Enrico Agnelli, Export Sales Director of Bertolotto - "focused on the excellence of Italian products and on the care and customization of services, finds in this acquisition a natural meeting with Bertolotto's vision. If today we can say that we have more than doubled our presence in the French market, in future perspective we aim to make Bertolotto France the undisputed standard-bearer of Made in Italy doors in France."
In its 12 years of business history, CLF Portes Design has built a prominent role in the French market thanks to its direct experience with the end customer, following the project from its inception to final installation, ensuring that each door is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also perfectly integrated into the environment.
