What Matizol does
Matizol is a Polish manufacturer of bituminous and liquid polymer waterproofing systems, operating as a wholly-owned brand within Selena S.A., a publicly listed construction chemicals group headquartered in Wrocław. The company traces its origins to the First Małopolska Factory of Roofing Paper and Asphalt Products "PAPAPOL" established in 1900 in Gorlice and joined the Selena Group in 2010. It manufactures from two production facilities — the original plant in Gorlice (est. 1900) and a second site in Chełmża (incorporated 2004, with a dedicated civil engineering membrane line added in 2020).
The product portfolio spans bituminous roofing membranes (flagship, standard, and traditional grades), shingles, foundation films, primers, and sealants, alongside a growing hybrid liquid waterproofing range including MATIZOL Elite Tech, Elite Tixo, Fiber Roof, Color Roof, Color Deck, EVOMER 1K RESIST, and AQUA PROTECT. These products are sold both as individual SKUs and as complete systems — GREEN (green roof), ballast, thermoweldable, MATIZOL FIX (mechanically fixed), VENTIZOL (ventilated), ACTIVA (thermally activated), and BITUMFAST (rapid moisture barrier). Hybrid membranes carry differentiated technical specifications including application temperatures from 0°C to +45°C, application on wet substrates without primer, SD1 vapor permeability, P4 pedestrian/vehicular durability, and rain resistance after two hours.
Matizol serves three principal customer segments: professional roofers and contractors (primary, served via a 11-region field sales force and a dedicated training department running webinars and in-person sessions), building owners and developers (balconies, terraces, parking decks), and foundation/civil engineering buyers. Revenue is generated through one-time product sales rather than recurring contracts, with a 500m2 minimum order for logistics reasons. Distribution combines 100+ physical retail partners (PSB Mrówka, Castorama, LUBAR, MAL-DREW), online storefronts, and direct field sales. Matizol also co-markets with sister brand Tytan Professional through the DOBRA ROBOTA installer loyalty program.
