The company is classified under NAF/APE code 4752B, retail sale of hardware, paints and glass in large-format stores of 400 square metres or more, and it operates the Castorama-branded home-improvement and DIY retail chain in France, selling building materials, tools, paint, and garden and home-decoration products through a network of large-format stores.

Since late 2024, CASTORAMA FRANCE has begun converting a small number of stores to franchise-style operating arrangements: by private deed dated 29 November 2024 it transferred the retail business at Vigneux-sur-Seine (91270) to Brico Dépôt, and by electronic deed dated 26 May 2025 it entrusted operation of its Villabé (91100) store, under the Castorama brand, to a third-party operator under a lease-management (location-gérance) agreement, consistent with a broader pilot of franchise-style store operation announced during 2024-2025.

French commercial-register filings show its share capital and voting rights held 100% by Kingfisher Investissements (SIREN 316 701 416), a French holding company based at the same Templemars address, which is its immediate parent. Kingfisher Investissements is itself reported, per its own registry filings, as part of the Kingfisher group headed by Kingfisher plc, a public company incorporated in England and Wales and listed on the London Stock Exchange (ticker: KGF) as a constituent of the FTSE 100 index; Kingfisher plc is therefore the identifiable ultimate parent.
