C O D I R
C O D I R (written CODIR in the official bulletin BODACC) is a French société par actions simplifiée (SAS) registered with the Registre du commerce et des sociétés of Versailles under SIREN 729 804 161. Its registered office is at Les Hédauves, avenue de Paris, 78550 Bazainville (Yvelines). INSEE’s Sirene register records the legal unit as active, with principal activity code 46.19A, non-food central purchasing. In practice C O D I R is the purchasing, spectacle-lens manufacturing and logistics site that serves the opticians of the Krys Group network: the network’s 2019 CSR report describes its main activities as a central purchasing activity for the network’s opticians and the manufacture, surfacing and coating of lenses.
The number shown on the card, 72980416100028, is a SIRET: it identifies C O D I R’s head-office establishment, not the company. Sirene dates that establishment to 29 January 2009, which matches a BODACC notice of 5 July 2009 recording the transfer of the registered office within Bazainville, from cheminement de la Fosse (La Touine) to avenue de Paris. Sirene itself gives the company’s creation date as 1 January 1900, which is a placeholder; the real incorporation date of C O D I R could not be established from the free sources reviewed.
Krys Group’s own announcements give the operating picture. A release of 28 June 2024 calls C O D I R the group’s lens maker and its production and logistics site, the first lens maker certified “Origine France Garantie” (2012), and reports a 4,800 m² extension inaugurated in May 2024 to raise lens output by 30%. The 2024 results release gives a 61.1% share of lens sales within the network and 13 million articles shipped; the 2025 release reports lens sales made on site up 21% and more than 13 million parcels shipped. Sirene places the company in the 250–499 employee band for 2024.
Company-level accounts published in the INPI/BCE financial-ratios open dataset (individual accounts, type C) show turnover of €131.0m for the year to 30 September 2018, €128.3m (2020), €153.0m (2021) and €153.8m (2022). The latest row shows turnover of €174.9m and a net result of €2.7m, dated 30 September 2024, while BODACC records the accounts filed on 18 August 2025 as closing on 31 December 2024, which points to a change of year-end; neither source states the length of that period. Krys Group’s own release puts C O D I R’s 2024 turnover at €173m. These are the entity’s figures, not the network’s consolidated sales.
The stored website, krys-group.com, is the Krys Group site; its legal notice names another company, La Guilde des Lunetiers (RCS 699 804 308), as publisher.

Shareholders

Shareholders of C O D I R
No shareholder of C O D I R is named in any public French register or filing reviewed. As a société par actions simplifiée, its share register is kept by the company itself and is not filed at the Registre du commerce et des sociétés, so who owns C O D I R is not on the public record.
One official fact bears on ownership. Six BODACC notices published between 23 June 2016 and 28 May 2019 give the legal form as “société par actions simplifiée à associé unique”, which means the company had a single shareholder on those dates. That shareholder is not named in any notice. Notices published before June 2016 and from February 2021 onward give the form simply as “société par actions simplifiée”; that label alone does not show whether the number of shareholders changed.
Krys Group’s 2019 CSR report lists C O D I R among the companies, described as subsidiaries or sub-subsidiaries, through which the cooperative La Guilde des Lunetiers serves its member opticians. It does not say which company holds C O D I R’s shares or in what percentage.
The provider shareholder table on this page lists a single natural person as holding 100%. No register entry, BODACC notice or company document reviewed supports that row, and it is not repeated here.
Data availability
Not public. French registers do not publish the shareholders of an SAS, and public access to the French register of beneficial owners (RBE) has been closed since the CJEU ruling of 22 November 2022, so no ultimate beneficial owner of C O D I R can be identified from public sources. This is not evidence that none exists.

Directors and officers of C O D I R
The register records three corporate office-holders for C O D I R and no natural person. The latest full administration list published in BODACC (notice B201900863816, 3 May 2019) gives: President — Krys Group Services, a French SA (SIREN 421 390 188), recorded with a modification dated 9 September 2011; statutory auditors (commissaires aux comptes titulaires) — Grant Thornton (SIREN 632 013 843), in office since 11 October 2006, and Akelys (SIREN 652 008 939), in office since 5 July 2018. The national register (RNE) copy served by recherche-entreprises.api.gouv.fr, updated 24 September 2026, lists the same three.
Krys Group’s press release of 28 June 2024 names Christophe Lallau as Directeur Général of C O D I R. No register notice reviewed lists a directeur général, so whether this is a statutory office registered at the RCS or an operational title is not established.
The provider officer feed reports 11 rows, of which 5 are stored. The three corporate rows match the register. Two natural-person rows typed “Director” and marked resigned appear in no BODACC administration list from 2011 onward and carry no dates; they could not be verified and are not repeated here.
Recent officer changes
- 5 July 2018 — Akelys took office as statutory auditor (BODACC B201801292051, published 8 July 2018).
- Between 8 July 2018 and 3 May 2019 — the two alternate auditors listed in 2018 no longer appear in the administration list (BODACC B201900863816).
- 9 September 2011 — Krys Group Services recorded as President (BODACC B201101822087, published 20 September 2011).
Data availability
Partial. French registers publish the legal representative and the statutory auditors of an SAS. No BODACC officer notice for C O D I R has been published since May 2019. Nationality is not applicable to corporate officers and is not disclosed for anyone else.

Group Structure
Group structure of C O D I R
C O D I R belongs to Krys Group, the French optical network. The group’s 2019 CSR report names La Guilde des Lunetiers, a cooperative of independent opticians, as “société mère de KRYS GROUP”, and lists C O D I R among the companies, described as subsidiaries or sub-subsidiaries, through which the cooperative serves its members. The same report covers an Unité Économique et Sociale made up of La Guilde des Lunetiers, Krys Group Services and C O D I R.
No public filing names C O D I R’s immediate parent or gives a percentage at any level. BODACC notices from 2016 to 2019 show that it then had a single shareholder, not named. The corporate-structure graphic on this page places C O D I R directly under Krys Group Services, with La Guilde des Lunetiers at the top and seven sibling companies; the top of that chain matches the group’s own description, but the direct holding by Krys Group Services and the sibling list are not supported by any filing reviewed. The graphic’s nodes also carry establishment SIRET numbers, not company SIREN numbers.
Verified corporate relationships
| Entity | Country | Registration number | Relationship | Ownership | Status | Information date |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| La Guilde des Lunetiers | France | SIREN 699 804 308 | Ultimate parent, per the group’s own description; direct or indirect holding not stated | Ownership percentage not disclosed | Active (Sirene) | Rapport RSE 2019 |
| Krys Group Services | France | SIREN 421 390 188 | Affiliate: a group company named in the same report; no shareholding link to C O D I R published | Ownership percentage not disclosed | Active (Sirene) | Rapport RSE 2019 |
Data availability
Partial. French registers do not publish SAS shareholdings or parent links, so the chain between La Guilde des Lunetiers and C O D I R is not public. This is not evidence of any particular structure.
