RICHARDSON traces its roots to Marseille, where it was established in 1855 by Charles Francis Green Richardson to trade metallurgical products for naval clients. In the decades that followed, its product range broadened and the company expanded its footprint into the building trades, focusing on serving installers of heating and bathroom systems. Today, it functions as a wholesale distributor across the southeast of France, the Île-de-France region, and the Pyrénées-Atlantiques, supplying equipment for heating, air conditioning, renewable energy, and plumbing, along with tooling, tiling, and household appliances. A subset of its network includes agencies focused on plastics materials for the building, communications, and industrial sectors, a business line that began in the 1950s. RICHARDSON emphasizes employee initiative and human capital, developing product expertise and offering customer-specific guidance. Initiatives like Expo RICHARDSON and La Maison des Eco-Energies help professionals and end users explore bathroom solutions and eco-friendly options.
