Bel’m

Doors manufacturing

Established in 1975, Bel’m was one of two leading players in the French residential front-door manufacturing market. At the time of Abenex’s acquisition, Bel’m operated three manufacturing plants in France producing high-quality doors in wood and aluminum, alongside standard doors in wood and steel. The majority of doors were distributed via building materials wholesalers, with the remainder (in particular mid-quality doors) distributed via DIY stores and other wholesalers.
