Groupe OPNR: a Major Player in Energy Renovation
The OPNR Group, originally specializing in attic insulation, has diversified its activities to cover a wide range of energy renovation services, including external thermal insulation, heating and ventilation systems, and solar energy solutions. Today, the group operates across sectors through its two strong brands: Groupe OPNR and Eurocombles by OPNR. This synergy enables the group to support both individuals and professionals in their energy renovation projects with economical, sustainable, and turnkey solutions.
In 2024, over 60,000 energy renovation projects were completed, marking a growth of more than 20% compared to 2023. Operating in nearly all regions through 19 local agencies, Groupe OPNR aims to celebrate its tenth anniversary by reaching 25 agencies by the end of 2025.
As France's undisputed leader in attic insulation, Groupe OPNR is now focused on expanding its comprehensive offerings across the entire territory.
A Partnership Combining Passion and Shared Values
Groupe OPNR is a company rooted in Lyon. Initially based in Brignais for many years, the company relocated in 2022 to larger premises in Solaize.
David ALLAIN, CEO of Groupe OPNR, is a passionate football fan, particularly devoted to Olympique Lyonnais. Beyond the emotional aspect, becoming the official partner of Olympique Lyonnais, his beloved club, marks a significant milestone in his entrepreneurial journey.
“For a fan like me, becoming the official partner of the club you love is a truly special feeling. I feel immense pride in associating the name of my group with Olympique Lyonnais, one of France’s greatest clubs. It symbolizes, in a way, the realization of Groupe OPNR's ambitions and the alignment of two institutions with shared values.” – David ALLAIN, CEO of Groupe OPNR
Indeed, Groupe OPNR shares common values with Olympique Lyonnais, such as excellence, commitment, and respect. These values resonate daily in the support and guidance we provide to our clients, whether professionals or individuals. Our mission is to identify and implement the most efficient solutions to achieve energy savings.
Just as Olympique Lyonnais relies on both individual and collective performances, Groupe OPNR focuses on the efficiency of a well-coordinated team to address the challenges of energy renovation—an issue that can no longer be ignored.
This is a perfect opportunity to promote shared values such as performance, excellence, and commitment.

A Shared Ambition
This strategic partnership will support the continued growth of Groupe OPNR's national visibility, with an even stronger focus on the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, while also backing a club determined to excel in Ligue 1 and on the European stage.
The energy renovation sector is rapidly evolving, offering numerous opportunities. For over 10 years, the teams at Groupe OPNR have been committed to showcasing their reliability and expertise by providing innovative and trustworthy solutions. Collaborating with Olympique Lyonnais presents a fantastic opportunity to strengthen our brand image. Partnering with a prestigious club, a symbol of longevity and exemplary management, is a significant advantage in promoting our sustainable, economical, and turnkey energy renovation solutions to the general public and professionals alike.
"Our ambition is to become the leader in energy renovation in France. Just like OL aims to play a leading role on the French and European scene, Groupe OPNR, as the leader in attic insulation, will demonstrate determination and resilience to collectively achieve ambitious development goals." – David ALLAIN, CEO, Groupe OPNR
"Our community of partners grows stronger today with the arrival of Groupe OPNR, a major player in its field. This new collaboration symbolizes our shared commitment to excellence and determination to deliver top performance. Together, we will unleash the tremendous potential of our region and support all our talents in achieving their goals." – Cyrille Groll, Director of Commercial Development, Olympique Lyonnais
