Hoffmann Green Signs a Strategic Partnership With Korenn Immobilier, a Subsidiary of TOENN Groupe, a Leading Player in Western France

Based in Vitré, TOENN Groupe is an independent real estate group in western France, founded in 1985. It is structured around three complementary areas: the construction of single-family homes, real estate development, and asset management. As a committed regional player, TOENN Groupe carries out commercial property development projects and undertakes energy renovation operations in collaboration with its local partners. Thanks to the complementary nature of its subsidiaries, TOENN Groupe covers the whole real estate value chain, from design to construction and asset management.

Korenn Immobilier, founded in 2024, represents the Group's expertise in property development. Specializing in the development of tailor-made residential programs in western France, the subsidiary has developed recognized expertise in conventional and intermediate housing. Its projects are characterized by their human scale, quality of use, and accessibility, while promoting balanced and responsible urbanization that respects the needs of local communities and residents.

As part of its commitment to sustainable construction, Korenn Immobilier is taking the next step in its transition by entering into a strategic partnership with Hoffmann Green to integrate 0% clinker cement into its operations. After several successful projects in the departments of Ille-et-Vilaine (35) and Côtes-d'Armor (22), this successful collaboration has naturally led Korenn to strengthen its relationship with Hoffmann Green.

This new agreement marks a further step in Hoffmann Green's growth strategy. The recognition and adoption of its solutions by real estate developers is a key lever for accelerating the decarbonization of buildings. It reflects the technical and economic maturity of 0% clinker cements and their sustainable integration into the construction value chain.

Julien BLANCHARD and David HOFFMANN, Co-founders of Hoffmann Green Cement Technologies, say: “This partnership with Korenn Immobilier illustrates the growing popularity of our solutions in the real estate development sector. By committing to integrating our technologies into its real estate projects, Korenn Immobilier confirms the maturity of the market and the ability of our innovative cements to meet the expectations of a rigorous player that is firmly rooted in its territory and focused on sustainable impact.”

Emilien Brison, Director of Korenn Immobilier, adds: "By collaborating with Hoffmann Green, we are fulfilling our commitment to integrating innovative and responsible materials into our projects. Clinker-free cements offer a concrete answer to environmental challenges while maintaining quality of use and cost control. This partnership is fully in line with our vision of balanced and responsible urbanization, serving the regions and inhabitants of western France."

A third factory will be built in the Rhône-Alpes region with construction scheduled for 2027-2028 to bring the Group's total production capacity to around 1,000,000 tons per year. The group has industrialized a genuine technological breakthrough based on modifying cement composition and creating a cold manufacturing process, with 0% clinker and low energy consumption, making it a leading and unique player in the cement market that has not evolved for 200 years.

In June 2023, the company was selected for French Tech 2030, a new ambitious support program operated by the French Tech Mission alongside the General Secretariat for Investment (SGPI) and Bpifrance.
