Presentation

For almost 35 years, DFC² Diffusion has been offering a wide range of hardware products along with local services, earning a real competitive edge in Pays de la Loire and Brittany. Its business model is based on strong partnerships with 25 selected brands, for unmatched responsiveness and service quality.

Mission

In 2024, DFC² refocused its activities on the Pays de la Loire region and entrusted its Brittany operations to LEGALLAIS. This shift came with a move to a modernised branch in Vertou, and the deployment of brand-new tools, including personalised customer pricing and a dedicated website. With a reinforced team and renewed ambition, DFC² intends to consolidate its local presence and accelerate its development.
