At European level, it boasts a total of more than 1,000, located in 7 countries: Belgium, France, Italy, Portugal, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Spain. BigMat is an international network currently made up of 585 members, a group of highly competent entrepreneurs, trained and committed to maintaining a close and direct link with their customers, so as to build not only professional, but also personal relationships.

In Italy, BigMat is present throughout the country with more than 240 outlets managed by 160 members, and generated a turnover of more than one billion euros in 2023.

BigMat caters for professionals in the building industry - construction companies, craftsmen, planners, architects, interior designers and private individuals - offering each type of customer products, building systems and services customised to each project. Each BigMat shop is a specialised centre for traditional and state-of-the-art technical solutions ranging from building materials to hardware, from power tools to interior finishes. Thanks to the expertise of its specialised staff, by virtue of the ample showroom space available and the many services it offers, BigMat has over time become a strategic partner for all construction projects, thanks also to the contribution provided by its HABIMAT interior showroom network of 45 showrooms, and the contribution provided by BigRent, its service for the rental of small and medium-sized construction equipment aimed at professionals, VAT holders and private individuals.

Since 2023 BigMat has been the official sponsor of the Italian National Volleyball Teams, accompanying the athletes of the Italian volleyball team to all international events as a shirt co-sponsor. Since 2024 the Group has also been the title sponsor of the BigMat Volleyball National Youth Finals. Among the sports disciplines supported by the Group, a key role is played by cycling: BigMat was the official partner of the UCI Cycling World Championship in 2023 and is currently (and will be until 2027) official partner of the UCI and of several Cycling World Championships held under the aegis of the International Cycling Union.

BigMat's most notable international initiatives include the BigMat International Architecture Award (a biennial prize that has been promoting European architectural excellence since 2013) and Let's Build for Sport, the social responsibility project that will support amateur sport throughout Europe starting in 2020.
