Sir Industriale

What Sir Industriale does

SIR Industriale S.p.A. is an Italian specialty chemicals manufacturer founded in 1931 (originally as Società Italiana Resine) and headquartered in Macherio (Monza-Brianza), Italy, with primary manufacturing operations in Castelseprio (Varese). The company produces thermosetting resins — saturated and unsaturated polyesters, vinyl esters, and epoxy resins — sold under proprietary brands including Sirales®, Sirion®, Prosid®, Eposir®/Eponac®, Sirester®, Sirtan®/Sirpress®, Sirion AK®, and the more recent BioSircle® bio-based line. End-applications span powder coatings, composites (including marine), protective coatings, and specialty industrial uses, with downstream qualifications against Lloyd's Register (marine), FDA (food contact), and WRAS (drinking water) standards.

The firm's manufacturing technology base rests on long-established polymer chemistry know-how, including dual epoxy production routes (Advancement and Taffy processes) supporting both solid and liquid epoxy systems. A newly commissioned dedicated Eposir production department and pilot reactor at the Castelseprio site expand both commercial capacity and R&D throughput. The portfolio is rounded out by structured sustainability infrastructure, including a 2022 ESG Sustainability Report, updated 2024 LCA data, and a 2023 photovoltaic plant installation.

SIR Industriale is a privately held company within PPR Holding S.p.A. (formerly P&R Holding), which is controlled by the Pizzocaro and Rossi families and also encompasses Fidia Farmaceutici and Olon. Revenue is generated through B2B sales of specialty resins, predominantly through third-party distributors (Grolman, IMCD, DKSH, Nordmann, Brenntag, Biesterfeld) covering more than 60–70% export-weighted volumes. The company employs 101–250 staff at the SIR Industriale level, with the broader PPR Holding group employing approximately 4,000 people and reporting aggregate turnover of roughly EUR 900 million.

Core offering

SIR INDUSTRIALE S.p.A. manufactures and sells specialty thermosetting resins — saturated polyesters, unsaturated polyesters, vinyl esters, and epoxy resins — for industrial coatings, composites, can and coil coatings, and related applications. Its portfolio spans eight branded product families (SIRALES®, SIRION®, PROSID®, EPOSIR®/EPONAC®, SIRESTER®, SIRTAN®/SIRPRESS®, SIRION AK®, BioSircle®) sold to industrial customers worldwide through direct sales and a global chemical distribution network.

Product overview

Sir Industriale is a chemical company specializing in resin products, operating as a single unified product portfolio rather than a platform-plus-modules architecture. The company's offerings center around eight core product lines: EPOSIR®/EPONAC® (epoxy resins using two distinct production processes), SIRALES® (saturated polyesters for powder coatings), SIRESTER® (unsaturated polyesters and vinyl esters for composites), SIRION AK® (solvent-based and water-reducible saturated polyesters for can/coil coatings), SIRION® (additives and hardeners), PROSID® (β-hydroxyalkylamide hardeners), SIRTAN®/SIRPRESS® (waterborne styrene-maleic copolymers), and BioSircle® (sustainable bio-based resins). The products serve diverse industrial applications including coatings, composites, construction, and packaging, with the portfolio ranging from standard industrial resins to specialized sustainable solutions.
