History

The company has its roots in the primary sector, driven by the first generation of the Chaze family. In its early days, it equipped farms with high-performance pumping solutions, actively contributing to rural development.

Over the years, urban growth required a more structured approach to wastewater management. The first separate sewer networks were built, as were the first treatment plants. Etablissements Belle supported the town of Montélimar by building the first wastewater transfer pumping stations to the treatment plant of that time.

Collaboration with Lafarge: Development of technical solutions for reprocessing and reusing process water from concrete plants.

Management of waste storage sites: Design of corrosion-resistant pumps for acidic substances from waste storage cells.

First fountains and irrigation projects: Diversification into innovative technical solutions for landscaping and filtration.

This period marked a decisive turning point, enriching technical expertise and strengthening the company's position in the industrial sector.

Public contracts became a major strategic focus, thanks to strong partnerships with:

• Public works groups.
• Public and private urban planning design offices.

Structuring of business units to meet clients' growing requirements:

• Pumping stations.
• Fountains.
• Irrigation.
• Water treatment.
• Automation and electrical.

This diversification came with a comprehensive offering, integrating civil engineering, earthworks, networks and surface finishing through partnerships with national partners.

• North Ile de France office: based in Paris
• Grand Est office: based in Lyon
• Grand Ouest office: based in Bordeaux
• South East office: based in Montélimar (Head Office)

To improve working conditions and the efficiency of a company whose workforce had quadrupled, a new head office was built in Montélimar. As a showcase, many industry-specific applications are on display there.

This location now brings together sales, project delivery and maintenance resources, with teams present locally. It thus becomes a genuine PACA office, able to support projects at every stage, from development to execution and over the long term.

At the same time, Belle Environnement is accelerating its nationwide development in the luxury and events markets. This direction paves the way for the launch of a brand dedicated to these fields, designed to bring a more specific, creative and demanding approach to our expertise.
The year 2026 also marks a new step in our nationwide development in the nuclear sector. To meet the specific requirements of this environment, Belle Environnement is setting up a dedicated organization and method, with resources specific to methods, project management and site supervision. This structure allows these operations to be approached with a framework, processes and level of control suited to the sector's requirements.
