Bodet S.A. is a family-run company founded in 1868 by Paul Bodet in Trémentines, near Cholet, France. Its initial focus was manufacturing monumental and bell tower clocks. Over its more than 150-year history, Bodet has evolved and established itself as a leader in timekeeping and management through four separate business divisions:
1. Bodet Campanile: Specializes in the manufacture, restoration, and maintenance of monumental and tower clocks, including the production of dials and the casting of bells. Notable examples of its work in historic buildings across France include the Church of Saint-Sulpice in Paris, the Gare de Lyon train station in Paris, the Church of Sainte-Croix in Orléans, and the Cathedral of St-Julien in Le Mans. The company has also undertaken prominent projects throughout Europe, the Americas, and Asia.
2. Bodet Sport: Founded in 1968, its focus is developing and manufacturing sports scoreboards and display systems. It has supplied timekeeping equipment for major sporting events such as the Olympic Games and the FIFA World Cup.
3. Bodet Time: Primarily dedicated to industrial clockmaking and time distribution systems for schools, hospitals, airports, train stations, and more. Bodet introduced its first industrial clock – the iconic flap or rotating clocks – in 1975 and launched its first electronic master clock, the Cristal Quartz model, in 1978. It also develops time servers for synchronizing IT systems, essential for the operation of computer networks. In 1984, it expanded its product line to include electronic fuel price display modules for service stations.
4. Kelio: Established in 1987, Kelio specializes in software solutions for time management in businesses, human resources management, and access control systems.
The company has remained under the management of the Bodet family for generations, with Pascal Bodet assuming leadership in 2016. Bodet has proven to be highly innovative, launching over 788 new products and continually investing in research and development, which represents 10% of its annual revenue. It has obtained various certifications, including ISO 9001 in 1997 and ISO 14001 in 2011.
Bodet operates in more than 140 countries, with subsidiaries in Belgium, Spain, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Germany. Employing over one thousand people and supported by a network of three hundred distributors, Bodet continues to set the standard in its industry. In 2023, the company reported revenue of 136 million euros.
