What Sicomin does

Sicomin (legally SICOMIN, founded 1946) is a French formulator and manufacturer of advanced epoxy resin systems and complementary composite materials, headquartered in Châteauneuf-les-Martigues with a second manufacturing site in Pluguffan, Brittany. The company produces a broad portfolio of epoxy systems for infusion, RTM, hand lay-up, pultrusion, prepreg, foaming, casting, gel-coating, adhesives, and specialty applications, sold alongside reinforcement fabrics (glass, carbon, aramid, flax), structural foam cores (PET, PVC, PEI, balsa), vacuum bagging consumables, and release agents. Its GreenPoxy sub-brand offers bio-based epoxy systems derived from renewable plant carbon (up to 80% bio-content in SR GreenPoxy 80), now covering 70% of the product range, with flagship formulations certified to ASTM D6866, DNV-GL, and free of CMR substances.

Sicomin sells primarily through a global network of 20+ regional distributors across Europe, North America, the Middle East, Asia, and Australasia, with direct sales representatives covering every French department and an e-commerce storefront (boutique-resine-epoxy.fr) for smaller orders. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated through direct B2B engagement, typically under multi-year contracts. The company targets six vertical segments: Sports & Leisure, Building & Civil Engineering, Marine/Nautism, Transport, Art & Decoration, and general Industry, with marine, aerospace, and architecture representing its highest-profile engagements. Named customers include Decathlon, Salomon, Couach, COBRA International, Premier Composite Technologies, Advanced Fiberglass Industries, Brough Superior, and ZAG Skis.

The company is family-owned by the Marcovich family across three generations; Ken Marcovich assumed the CEO role in 2025, succeeding Philippe Marcovich who led the composites business for 42 years. Sicomin is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, has been ISO 9001 certified for many years, holds DNV-GL type approval for marine formulations, and earned an EcoVadis Bronze Medal for sustainability performance. It is currently expanding its certified bio-based and CMR-free product lines while pursuing flagship architectural and renewable energy projects (Mataf ceiling, GREENBOATS wind nacelle, recycled composites with Fairmat).
