Some rankings mark a milestone. The one just published by French leading business newspaper Les Echos in partnership with Statista is one of them. For the first time, a special edition of the Champions de la Croissance highlights the 100 French companies with the strongest organic growth over an entire decade, from 2014 to 2024. Kumulus Vape ranks 9th, with a compound annual growth rate of 52.45% and a cumulative increase of 6,680% over the period!
Behind these figures lies the entire story of Kumulus Vape. In 2014, the company was just two years old. Ten years later, the group employs 70 people, exceeds 60 million euros in revenue and operates across three complementary channels: a B2B platform that has become the go-to purchasing hub for vape professionals, a long-established B2C e-commerce website and a fast-growing network of franchise stores. This transformation owes nothing to chance: it is the result of an organic strategy, built brick by brick, year after year.
This long-term ranking adds to an unbroken six-year presence in the overall Champions de la Croissance ranking, which recognises the 500 fastest-growing French companies over three years. This year, Kumulus Vape ranks 228th nationally and 10th in the wholesale sector.
“This ranking holds special meaning because it rewards exactly what we are striving to build: not just a company that grows, but a company that lasts,” says Rémi Baert, founder and CEO of Kumulus Vape. “Every year brings its share of challenges — regulatory, competitive, economic. Our strength lies in meeting them while staying true to our mission: offering a credible alternative to smoking.“
