Sidec

What Sidec does

Sidec NV is a Belgian specialty manufacturer founded in 1986 and headquartered in Balen, Belgium, that develops and produces coated aggregates and synthetic resin floor systems for professional installation partners. The company operates an in-house R&D laboratory and collaborates with knowledge centers including the University of Ghent, producing nearly 200 floor system configurations built from core chemical components such as coated granules, primers, binders, vertical binders, fillers, topcoats, sealcoats, and self-leveling compounds. Its technology stack spans acrylate, epoxy, epoxy hybrid, polyaspartic, and polyurethane resin systems, and includes three proprietary sub-brands: Turbodec (a patented one-day-install industrial floor), Terradec (water-permeable outdoor paving), and AceCourt (ceramic-coated sand infill for artificial grass sports fields). The company holds ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications, as well as AGBB and A+ emissions compliance for German and French markets.

Sidec operates a partner-only distribution model: the company does not install floors itself but sells exclusively through a network of trained and certified installation partners across approximately 50 countries. The Sidec Academy provides training and certification programs that lock installers into the Sidec product ecosystem. End-customer reach spans industrial, commercial office, retail, residential, sports, outdoor/landscaping, and public-sector segments, with no single segment dominant. Direct sales coverage is organized regionally across the DACH, Benelux, and Franco-Belgian markets, with the CEO personally managing key accounts.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time product sales to certified installers rather than licensing or recurring contracts. Pricing is tiered across budget and premium product lines but is not publicly disclosed. Sidec is a private family-owned company with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or public listing plans, and reports headcount in the 11–50 range.
