PROFILE |
 |
When it comes to a home, there's always room for improvement. Castorama-Dubois Investissements is Europe's #1 do-it-yourself (DIY) retailer, with about 525 stores in Asia, Europe, and Latin America. Its seven Dubois Matériaux wholesale outlets serve trade professionals and supply its Castorama home improvement stores in Europe. In 1998 it merged with the 280-plus store chain B&Q, owned by UK retailing giant Kingfisher, which now owns about 57% of Castorama-Dubois. Castorama-Dubois also serves serious DIYers and contractors through about 35 25 Brico Dépôt discount DIY stores. The Dubois family founded the company in 1968.
