What Siebec does

Siebec is a privately-held French industrial group founded in 1958, headquartered in Saint-Égrève near Grenoble, that designs and manufactures industrial filtration, pumping, and liquid treatment systems for manufacturing operations. The group's product portfolio spans pump/filter assemblies across four flow-rate tiers (MC up to 4 m³/h through P up to 80 m³/h), specialized equipment including the ATMOS 32 multi-cyclonic oil mist purifier, the EASYPURE autonomous cutting fluid recycling station, and the EASYMIX cloud-connected fluid monitoring station, plus a full range of magnetic drive, mechanical seal, vertical, dosing, and pneumatic pumps. It also produces consumables (over 1 million filter bags annually across 10 filtration technologies) and operates the SIEBEC LTS laboratory with Thermo Fisher ICP-OES spectrometry for 74-element fluid analysis.

Siebec operates through a multi-brand group structure with five core operating companies: Siebec (core filtration), Quali-filtres (2014 acquisition, pharma/food filtration), Bohncke GmbH (2015, German surface treatment), Sofraper (2017, industrial vacuum), and most recently Polymem (2026, membrane ultrafiltration/nanofiltration). The group runs three manufacturing facilities in France, Germany, and Portugal, with sales subsidiaries across six European countries (France, Germany, UK established 1996, Spain established 1972, Italy 2022, Portugal 2020). Combined group headcount is 250+ employees and turnover is approximately €50M, with disclosed annual growth of 10-15%.

The business model is primarily hardware sales of industrial equipment and consumables, with quote-based custom pricing for engineered skid solutions and multi-year contracts for larger installations. Go-to-market is sales-led through direct subsidiary teams, supplemented by active participation in European industry trade shows (ECOMONDO, ENVIROPRO, MICRONORA, SEPEM) and a multilingual website. Customer segments span water/effluent treatment, surface treatment, and machining/metalworking as primary verticals, with secondary presence in chemical/petrochemical, electronics, and maritime. Sustainability positioning includes BBC-certified headquarters, 148 kW solar capacity at the Portugal facility (covering 80%+ of needs), and integration of 50+ tonnes of recycled plastic annually into consumables.
