Plasteurop

What Plasteurop does

Plasteurop, commercially operated by French legal entity PANELCO SAS, is a manufacturer of modular sandwich-panel systems, technical doors, vision panels, and accessories for cleanrooms and other critical environments. Founded in 1978 and headquartered in Vonnas, France, the company designs custom-engineered partitions, ceilings, fire-rated assemblies (EI30-EI180), airtight and inflatable-seal doors, flush vision panels, and ATEX-compliant components certified to ISO 14644, GMP/BPF, ATEX, Euroclass, FDA, ANSM, and nuclear-safety standards. The portfolio is organized into cleanroom, containment (BSL 2-4), dry room, fire protection, and acoustic solutions, with products constructed using mineral wool or aluminum honeycomb cores and finished with HPL, PET, PVC, or aluminum skins.

The company operates a sales-led B2B go-to-market with direct engagement from initial design through delivery, supported by an in-house R&D and technical design office that collaborates with customers on custom specifications. Installation is delivered exclusively through a curated network of certified local partners in France and internationally, while a separate OEM/embedded channel exists through parent G-CON Manufacturing's prefabricated POD cleanrooms, including a manufacturing line installed at G-CON's Texas facility in 2024. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time project-based sales of custom panels, doors, and accessories, supplemented by recurring after-sales service, maintenance, and spare parts. The customer base spans pharmaceutical, biotech, microelectronics, automotive (including EV battery dry rooms), defense/security/nuclear, food, chemistry, and data center end-markets across more than 40 countries, with a workforce of approximately 130 employees.
